Still the Sun

Gentle weather and blue skies

On the day when

The earth hugged you forever

Mommy carried

Your tiny reed basket

From birth to neverneverAnd still, the sunCool green grass

And a thousand songbirds

Perform the soundtrack

Of the big farewell

The basket sunk

In fertile earth

Crumbs clung to our feetAnd still, the sunDont be sad

Well soon catch up

Until soul and silence

Will merge us all

Just one quiet moment

Without green and song

And still the sunAnd still, the sun
