The fly

Of may

It lives

One day



When that day is done

The mayfly does not complain

It flies into the setting sun

It goes back to the place

From which it came



The fly

Of may



Ask how

Ask why

One day

May fly

That's all

You get

You give

No thought

To it



Me, my life is long

With reasons few like you

When I go, and when I'm gone

I will understand these things

I never knew



The fly

Of may



One day one day one day one day

It's long enough

If you really think about it



The fly

Of may

It lives

One day
