Twist and twirl in the breeze
Until it could hold no more
Took its leave from the tree
To dance and pirouette endlessly

Sit besides a waterfall

To an unmet friend:

You see the mortal world
And for you man is machine
Little more than a device
For the vagaries of evolution,
Faith is illusion, hope lacks
