The Drowned Sun

Speak once, and softly, so the river may know... * * * "You've come to mourn, his drowned bones." [She starts to groan] He was a loving father, a faithful son, his body swept and tossed and now he's gone. [Leaves fall and vanish in the current] How now... Mysterious Death, the speeding current, time that pushes past, how do I grab the minutes so that they last? "Accept" [ The river flows and merges with the Earth, and you look up and see the tops of trees waving in harmony with the sky, and you, spot the sun again ]
