Where are the happy ones?
Why have they gone?
Where are the flowers...
Seeking the sun?

Is life in the middle...
The place we should be?
Filled with great hope...
Joy, love, and glee.

Where are the measurements...
That show what is true?
Can you approximate...
What makes thoughts anew?

The meanings of life...
So vacuous and free -
Sleeping forever...
Under the tree.
