"But what she meets and what she fears

"...And as to you Life I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths.

(No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before)…

Do you see O my brothers and sisters?

It is not chaos or death -- it is form, union, plan -- it is eternal life -- it is Happiness…

I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun…

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,

If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,

But I shall be good health to you nevertheless…

Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,

Missing me one place search another,

I stop somewhere waiting for you."

-Walt Whitman
