Corpus of lifeIn the corpus of life's journey
Corpse consoling the dead
With him Walking on threads

A High PriceConsumed are days and nights
By this lacerating lingering longing
To return triumphant the source of all

In a garden by the lake
Saving men from mortal sin

Its seasons of smiles, its times of frowns
We hope more joy...
