Given that we're happy to be here, Remember what we're gaining and we're losing. Admittedly, the moment is confusing, Demanding sad farewells and well-earned cheer. Underneath the moment is the motion, A silent passage out to open sea, Taking place regardless what may be In front of us, a ritual commotion. Of what we are, but little will remain, Nor will we ever come this way again.
