So Long

In your loss the blazing sun is paprika red the sky turns pale blue in sadness the Danube is flowing calm absorbing anger of that bursting sun Standing next to the wooden cascade I sense an aura of your essence You travelled place to place, snowy mountain high to shallow river bay Here your journey ends in an august summer day in heart of Budapest It's hard to consent no more you will open the door and merrily say "How are you today?" My eyes tear and heart pains I want to cry out loud but I fall short in breath Hey wayfarer now you are set free Time to take a voyage to eternity, and find peace forever with divine grace in a realm of time and space We have your blessing and that is our only solace.
