The dead are not gone
For they do not sleep in shallow graves
Nor do they lie in rotting coffins
Far beneath the waving grass
They are not gone from this earth
They are still here
It is their whispers
That echoes softly in the summer breeze
That blows away your troubles
Like the scattering of fallen leaves
It is their breath
That breathes life into the crackling fire
The heat brushing against your skin
In a comforting gesture
It is their laughter
That you hear from a babbling brook
As the water trickles over smooth rocks
That soothes you
And washes away your fears
It is their song
That is the voice of the blue bird
Serana
The dead are not gone
For they do not sleep in shallow graves
Nor do they lie in rotting coffins
Far beneath the waving grass
They are not gone from this earth
They are still here
It is their whispers
That echoes softly in the summer breeze
That blows away your troubles
Like the scattering of fallen leaves
It is their breath
That breathes life into the crackling fire
The heat brushing against your skin
In a comforting gesture
It is their laughter
That you hear from a babbling brook
As the water trickles over smooth rocks
That soothes you
And washes away your fears
It is their song
That is the voice of the blue bird
Serana
