The Sepulchral Voices

So why such sadness i ask
and also with such grace-
Have you ever been so happy and yet so bereaved?
A culmination of all your dreams in front of you,
and a certain numbness longs for your presence.
The eternal rest is not a dream
but the eternal dream is to rest.
You are obscure and so am i.

The old song brings back memoirs,
The old joys give you pain.
Time is an unwanted dear friend
for he shall stay the longest,
unmoved by apathy and without any gain.
Drink the ale and make merry 'ol friend
for thy genesis has only begun.
The fun gods shall soon be dancing with you
and yet ...the old song remains.
