THE LAST CEREMONY


This is only the description of a funeral: what we see and what we feel. Often we are sad and we see everything surround us in different manner.

The last ceremony

(M. & W.: M.Mastroberti)

Flowers as an enormous carpet
Women cry and alternate sobs
Sky sends rain and takes part in sorrow
Pain takes shape while priest tells his last words

Memories of the dead appear before my mind
The breeze caresses faces
wrapped up by silence

Funeral, a long beginning hellward
Funeral in a day with only night
A passage to unconsciouness
Funeral, to sleep an eternal sleep

Silence covers the noise of the grief
Take off heads, there will be no return
Small and fast, life becomes again nothing
Now a smart knocks at the conscience door

Gravestone with writing near a coloured flower-bed
Woodenhouse without windows will
keep useless remains

Funeral, a long beginning hellward
Funeral in a day with only night
A passage to unconsciouness
Funeral, to sleep an eternal sleep
