[00:27.63] |
Procession moves on, |
[00:31.67] |
the shouting is over, |
[00:36.25] |
Praise to the glory |
[00:40.26] |
of loved ones now gone. |
[00:44.89] |
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables, |
[00:53.10] |
Scattering flowers |
[00:57.08] |
washed down by the rain. |
[01:18.32] |
Stood by the gate |
[01:22.50] |
at the foot of the garden, |
[01:27.06] |
Watching them pass |
[01:30.86] |
like clouds in the sky, |
[01:35.49] |
Try to cry out |
[01:39.45] |
in the heat of the moment, |
[01:44.04] |
Possessed by a fury |
[01:47.71] |
that burns from inside. |
[02:58.08] |
Cry like a child, |
[03:02.00] |
though these years make me older, |
[03:06.42] |
With children my time |
[03:11.14] |
is so wastefully spent, |
[03:15.99] |
A burden to keep, |
[03:19.13] |
though their inner communion, |
[03:23.89] |
Accept like a curse |
[03:27.80] |
an unlucky deal. |
[03:33.63] |
|
[03:47.77] |
Played by the gate |
[03:51.42] |
at the foot of the garden, |
[03:55.96] |
My view stretches out |
[03:59.97] |
from the fence to the wall, |
[04:04.66] |
No words could explain, |
[04:08.37] |
no actions determine, |
[04:12.28] |
Just watching the trees |
[04:16.54] |
and the leaves as they fall. |
