A life so good amidst so...

Passing beyond the winds
the universe is found in a vast way,
within it almost a particle,
the earth where we float...
Overcoming everything, even further...
There are the unknown...

What do pigs know of Carpe DiemPiggies Pinky, Poinky, and Puck
were sloshing in the summery farmyard's murky muck.
It was the day before slaughter,
and they were enjoying the lukewarm water,
and the chorus of the cackly goose and the quaky duck.
