Dreamers dream, and heaven rues
The somber scattering of ill-won news
That dips it branches into the soft lake
Of mind that longs to forever unmake
Unhappiness for any, for some, for few
For one, yes, give it to none and through
The efforts we create let unhappiness carry on
Unto the edge of existence into oblivion!
But we laugh, we cry, we perform the dance
At the urgings of our desire, that misinformed trance
That transforms the external into our own circumstance
To mar the mark of excellence
Indelibly printed on the spirit of mankind,
It slips through our fingers every time we find
Some temporal shrine in which to bid our soul,
And the universe laughs, we again pay the toll
To our clinging, only to cling once more...
Can there be an end? No one is sure
Until we track with fidelity the origin of our unease,
That apparent hunger for whom we suffer to appease,
For there we would find that there is no one, no lack,
No wild goose chase to follow, these are just a sham show;
Everything that is sought can be found by going back
Within, to our source, then we will know.
Temporary happiness is only a disguise
For the riptides of sorrow, tide of tears in the eyes.
So let it go, let it go, verily, let it go...

Don't worry, such lack of imagination is oft ameliorated through the passage of time.
