May All That's Hurt Be Whole

Your time on earth is short my friend How fast the petals fall! What you've damaged, attempt to mend Before you leave it all Wars and treacheries, poisoned seas How fast the petals fall! Strive to mitigate such as these Before you leave it all Some wrongs run too deep down to right How fast the petals fall! Move on by keeping your footsteps light Before you leave it all The world has wonders yet to show How fast the petals fall! For those unborn, pray leave it so Before you leave it all Feather and flesh, things furred and finned How fast the petals fall! Help them flourish where man has sinned Before you leave it all Empty your mind. Go, sit alone How fast the petals fall! Be as the pool, the tree, the stone Before you leave it all Death makes short work of your hopes and dreams He comes for one and all Sweeping away ambition's schemes May all that's hurt be whole
