legends
leave comforts -- delusion of being rich
go far to travel, live life as pilgrimage
see beauty of mountains, sit in a cave
in which Adam lived, where Eva her apple gave
visit old kings' palaces, now crumbling into dust,
let the wind tell you a story which meaning you might grasp
listen, Uki to these ancient halls
old legends are written on their walls
these ancient legends tell you a beautiful story,
about the true love, about the brave, and their glory
in the courtyard with a statue of real beauty,
a goddess maybe, a perfect woman and a real cutie
millennia have passed, my princess, since you walked this flower alley
since my lips last touched yours, alive, in the paradise valley
we sung the songs in which eternal love we were swearing
today, your memory is dying, the statue to your beauty's weathering
the desert will soon swallow you into oblivion and you'll be gone,
I am the wind, immortal, to search endlessly this empty home
people will come and wonder about the old statues: Who was who?
I'd give my life for just one more year with you.

apt quotation..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein (author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer)
