about

Rest in Peace, Charlotte.

lyrics

remember the quiet fields
remember sunlight through the trees
remember the feel of grass
and its scent, carried by the breeze

remember serenity, white clouds and
our sport of giving names to their shapes
the taste of fruit, the sound of water
in the days before the dragons

escaped
forget the ferocious
thrashing nightmares
escape
forget the inconsolate
wrenching despair
escape
leave it all behind
convulsing torment
escape

remember music
and the first light at daybreak
remember sand and shore
and the waves on the lake

remember the greenhouse and the
plants from that landscape
remember games and the sound of laughing
before the dragons

escaped
forget the ferocious
thrashing nightmares
escape
forget the inconsolate
wrenching despair
escape
leave it all behind
convulsing torment
escape

(from 'The Song of the Happy Shepherd' By William Butler Yeats)
"But O, sick children of the world
Of all the many changing things
In dreary dancing past us whirled
To the cracked tune that Chronos sings"

go now, off to your dreams
let the past be done
a trickle in a stream
in a river in a flood

and through winter's bite
though the frost will cling
we will stay here
waiting for the spring
