Here are the fabled laurel leaves
A smile, when it’s fading –
Golden in the threadbare past
While you constructed little ditties
They knocked together temples of stone
But now their smoldering glow is fading
And while nothing is inside upside-down
You find yourself in all alone
In the leaves there’s higher power
In the leaves there’s higher life
And above the godly tower
You’ll dance a peasant’s dance of life
Carpe Diem.

Very nice! Short but effective. Nothing more to say really.

Keep up the great work.

“Such nonsense!" declared Dr Greysteel. "Whoever heard of cats doing anything useful!" "Except for staring at one in a supercilious manner," said Strange. "That has a sort of moral usefulness, I suppose, in making one feel uncomfortable and encouraging sober reflection upon one's imperfections.”
