Who are you,
    who promises my perilous voyage
    unto a paradise from the
    flesh to the soul
    to the fiery seas and then
    to lands of fruit bearing trees?

Will I meet you there,
    there in the mirth of men
    and women and children
    where we will all be children
    unknown to each other and
    I might ask, "where is my father?"?
