Elysium Awaits

"Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid."
—LANGSTON HUGHES

Where you’re going
There we will also
Not today we hope
Not even tomorrow
 
Let’s find time today
Till dusk till afterglow
And let’s reminisce
Till it’s time to go
 
Those awesome stories
From very long ago
Yea, let’s smile and laugh
Till we can no mo’
 
More tall tales we’ll recall
But that’s for tomorrow
For we’ll visit again
In the days to follow
 
The longest farewell ever
At least we hope so
For when the time comes
We’d be full of sorrow
 
Elysium awaits you
Gallant warrior from Argo
A true blue Alphan
Everybody’s hero
 
May good sails take you
Wherever you go
May the weather be pleasant
Wherever the winds blow
And wherever that is
We’re sure to follow
