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 ]
