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.
