Let Us Revel Poem by John May

So, we're temporal. Must we fear?
Must we repine 'cause Death draws near?
Of death... we ought not think, nor fret-
Nor deem its looming day a threat.

If we must die then let it be-
But let it not plague you or me!
Let's revel, rather, in our time,
And live as youth in Passion's prime-
Embracing aught but Light and Truth:
Audacious, loving, living youth!

And as we bask within our bliss,
And revel in the happiness,
Let's kiss, with mortal lips, the cheeks
Of Life, and those that deem it bleak.
