Rivers of sadness called upon me
It’s the wintry afternoon
The birds and the hedgehog
Mists of apple orchard surrounded by
Lovely works of natural world
I keep my shoes open to the sunshine
Feelings of decades past under my heart
The Almighty understands our sorrow
I keep it under covers
May thy house free of pain
The biblical chord into my palm
The cuckoo nestling outside
Nectar of honey clad bones
The flowers are red and lovely
I still keep my feelings to you.
