Learn the new way
whatever it is at all
the beginning and what will you do
the end and what is done
learn the green mistakes
your father fell
and when you young
are beautifully wrong
when they teach you
loving say No
say Yes in the middle of No
be kind in emptiness
no one knows anything
so believe them all
a style is seduction
and worth a kiss
but dont get married
learn ships and wind
and all ways to go
when the tongue leaves the mouth
and the sky is not just money
and the sea is mostly wet
and Anywhere Anywhere
your lovesong your anthem
and Everywhere Everywhere
should be your mother
ask nothing but to give
and never remember
what you'll never forget
a bright road running
when you want nothing
and there is no different from here.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~ William Butler Yeats ~
