I will sing of you later when the trend of a thousand feet the unending roll of sorrow the breath of roses enfolding the eulogies, the warranted praise the drawn-out memories of others the grief of recalling, the total acceptance of death are over. Then I will sing not to tread of a thousand feet, nor to the roll of sorrow Nor will I lift the roses not echo praise nor recall, nor accept. My song neither begins nor ends. It is eternity.
