To tell you the truth,
I'm not sure "true happiness"
Is something humans
Have figured out just yet.
If the man who put himself
Into an infinite stream of celestial

Boundlessness can still remark that
The sadness will last forever,
Perhaps it truly will,
As surely as that starry night
Will spark pieces of light
Into a quietly nebulous city.
