She sang to me a song forgotten from very long ago time stood still and I was nine, in the kitchen nook watching her hands as they rolled the dough her voice, soft as a summer brook
Fifty years later on my pillow I heard her voice neither here nor there, from the house of the dead came an echo of our time, she got into my head to let me know she knew I had no choice;
I fell asleep to the tune of yesterday's refrain recalling her feathered golden broach A blue moon smiled from the other plane and bathed me in light like summer rain,
and while I slept I was overtook by a lyrical sound, soft as a summer brook.
