Gentle weather and blue skies
On the day when
The earth hugged you forever

Mommy carried
Your tiny reed basket
From birth to never?never


And still, the sun?


Cool green grass
And a thousand songbirds
Perform the soundtrack

Of the big farewell
The basket sunk
In fertile earth

Crumbs clung to our feet

And still, the sun?


Don't be sad
We'll soon catch up

Until soul and silence
Will merge us all
Just one quiet moment

Without green and song
And still the sun


And still, the sun?
