Sweet smell of earth freshly
turned over in which I lie
below in damp darkness.
Eyes, once needful, eternally
asleep. The Holly tree that
thrived throughout
the years grows green
and strong; I have no
need of it. (nor do I
remember it) in the place
where I have gone.
The silentness of
voiceless nights, I
cannot comprehend.
nor a Robin's tune
in leafy tree; or
the song sung by a
warm and gentle breeze.
Plant lillies on my mound
if you choose. It matters
not to me. I remain alone,
no one to hold or comfort me.
winter, spring, summer, fall-
now all the same to me.

I found it though the eyes of my mother
Quietness of running track while people scream my name
The silentness of my pen hitting the paper
The book that would never stay close
From the shadow of the moon at my window
From the breeze that comes over me on a hot summer day
In the company of people without worry
From the comfort of a warm blanket on a cold day
In the music that fills the air around me as I dance to the beat
From the birth of your child
In the smile of your lover
There touch, there smell, there sense of closeness, the warmth of their heart beat
The ring that give everlasting love
Happiness you can find it everywhere now it is your time to start looking for

Deep in the meadow, down
Under thick trees,
Slumbering Summertime
Lies at ease.
Limbs of the shadows there
Stretch in the sun,
Languidly striving with
Sunrays spun.
Softer than silentness
Flowerbells ring;
Louder than puffballs
Not one thing.
Robin nor sparrow now
Chitter or peep;
Fast in the bushes
All things sleep.
Arrows of memory
Glide into peace;
Quietly, silently,
Sad things cease.
Light as a melody
Blown upon air,
Faint as a butterfly
(Oh, fly fair!),
Warm as the wind is
Over high grass,
Deep in serenity
All things pass.
