Expectations

(the Pythagorean Bouvier contemplating death and reincarnation)

for Kepler and for Mo :

Take me to the vet school, let me leave my pain
I've got no expectation good living to regain

The soul is like a diamond, our life is merely clay
The body and our memories will die and wash away

So take me to the vet school , let me leave my pain
I've got good expectations to incarnate again

Life's memories are like music unless you have the Sight
Life's memories are sunset that fades into the Night.

Once I was your human and then you were my dog
But every other memory is lost within the fog.

The soul is like a diamond, in human or canine,
So as you watch me leaving you, let me go with peace of mind

So take me to the vet school , let me leave my pain
And hear my declaration, we'll meet someday again.
