A world –
A city –
A street –
A house –
A tree –
A spring bud blossoming in the smile of the sun.
A sweet kiss of the breeze sweeping white petals.
A tear of glimmering dew.
But we will never see it.
Oh, please remember me!
We are caught in a bitter torrent,
Ever moving.
Faster!
Faster!
Faster!
We are stuck in the habit of living.
We listen without hearing.
We touch without feeling.
We talk without being heard.
We look without seeing.
The world has gone on without us.
Oh, please remember me!
Hush my child.
Come with me,
Out of the waves,
Out of the rumpled sea.
There is still time to learn.
Oh, please remember me.
