A laudator stood
Erect upon the broad and sunlit road
Sunlight spilled across the roadside fields of golden guise
And danced within the bright wells of his laughing eyes
He waved to the birds in flight a gesture free and bold
And spoke aloud: Oh world so wondrous to behold
I shall embrace all beings praise every single thing
Then he arose and chased a newborn butterfly upon the wing
Across the golden meadow light and swift and fleet
A limping dog with eyes that held some hidden sore defeat
Just barked and barked and barked a relentless ragged sound
As the laudator wandered further unbound
The dog uncannily with human voice did speak
Directly at a tattered scarecrow weathered worn and meek:
Say brother that fellow we know wouldn't you agree
The most cynical soul he was in days now flown and free
No no no the scarecrow creaked a rustling dry reply
We never knew a dog your memory must lie
Hush now the dog then whispered a chilling undertone
Let me sleep twenty years more beneath this burial stone
I wanted so to say these very words aloud
But in the end I swallowed them amidst the silent shroud
For everyone is lauded be it right or be it wrong
I wanted so to say these very words aloud
But in the end I swallowed them amongst the silent throng
For everyone is lauded great or small their song
Except for the dissipating dust that has been swept along
I wanted so to say these very words aloud
But in the end I swallowed them where silence does belong
For everyone is lauded ere their final setting sun
Except for the dissipating dust their fleeting race is run
Except for the dissipating dust beneath the moon and sun
Except for the dissipating dust when all is said and done
Dissipating dust
