Life is just like this

a mere moment at your side,

close to you, oh Author of Life:

to be presented I came,

here, over this ground.

No one will remain!

Quetzal feathers torn to shreds,

paintings raze off the ground,

& flowers, they collapse.

Everything shall be moved there

Then, to the house of Sun!

Yet, my flowers will not end,

my songs will not lie:

I raise them up:

A singer only I am.

Shared they are, touted they are,

the flowers glow

hitherto they are offered

inside a mansion of golden feathers!
