My mind is never empty
And my heart is never full.
Every taste is tempting
And I can’t resist the pull.
Are we making up the rules?
Are we all forever fools?
Don’t try to change the world
Just try to see it clearer.
Try not to get distracted
By the person in the mirror.
You have limited time left here
To be close to all you hold dear.
Your unfathomable mind is a wilderness,
You can explore it, if you dare.
Your multi-faceted heart is a muscle,
You can use it, if you care.
Your living body is an exotic animal
Not a machine at your beck and call.
This magical creature is yours
To take care of and to cherish.
There is nothing more precious,
But all these wonders will perish.
In death there is love, but no glory,
So I say Memento Amore.
