The Ground Will Rejoice In Our Sorrow

 

So feared, awesome and mighty

You keep coming and coming

And never tired

Never to spare any for a penny

 

Death, yes it was you

You took away the dear loss

Not that accident or that illness

 

You come to take that tired part of us

From where it was placed

Because earth, its owner still cried for it

Earth will rejoice in our sorrow

When eyes wet with cries

 

The smell of flesh

Fresh

Covered in casket

In suit

I know not if I will carry

Or once more let it tarry

 

I will never say good bye

Because you still live

Even in my dreams

Where I always pass you by
