| Beautiful evening turns to night.
|
| Clouds they gather to the darkening sky.
|
| Storm is rising, but still it’s calm.
|
| As I’ve been writing this requiem.
|
| I — am powerless, wallow in this feeling;
|
| I — am breathless, hear the sound of mourning;
|
| Distant church bells begin to toll.
|
| I rise listen, feel it in my soul.
|
| I’m getting weaker, but I need to write.
|
| I stare these woods, this one last time.
|
| I — am powerless, wallow in this feeling;
|
| I — am breathless, hear the sound of mourning;
|
| I grow weaker by the hour, I cannot sleep.
|
| My heart’s heavy for departure. |
| In this final moment;
|
| I feel growing weakness, cannot breath.
|
| My heart’s last heavy beating. |
| As I write this requiem.
|
| I kneel down and lower my head.
|
| Silent chanting fills the air.
|
| It’s time to begin the funeral.
|
| From this edge I bid the last farewell.
|
| I — am powerless, wallow in this feeling;
|
| I — am breathless, hear the sound of mourning;
|
| I grow weaker by the hour, I cannot sleep.
|
| My heart’s heavy for departure. |
| In this final moment;
|
| I feel growing weakness, cannot breath.
|
| My heart’s last heavy beating. |
| As I write this requiem. |
