Where the Bumbles Bounce

I meander the winding pebble path
where the bumbles bounce . . . 
holding back my sorrow and wrath,
for my beloved lay in eternal peace;
among bird songs that never cease.

A place of tears and grief alive with life,
oh, still I feel the pain- the knife;
where the bumbles bounce . . . 
among the stone grave markers jewels bloom,
on many a plot, monument and tomb.

My love is deep- my sadness is deeper,
was not ready for that dark reaper;
oh, so quiet, secluded and serene,
where the bumbles bounce . . . 
in this garden of death and green.

I see a butterfly and dragon fly,
and sparrows flutter from trees high;
quick, a squirrel, chipmunk and shy raccoon,
and now a song of love-   I croon,
where the bumbles bounce . . .
