Lulu

Though you will weep and grieve her loss

She will be in you still

As first light cracks the morning sky

She is in that pearly glow

When songbirds’ songs take joyful flight

Each note will speak of her

A happy crowd as a try comes true

Is roaring out her name

And as darkness softens the day away

The shade falls from her light

Spring bluebells flush in a darkling wood

Their scent is of her breath

And if lightning flashes with her smile

Then thunder is her laugh

Look up, look up and see the stars

She’s hiding in between

This round Earth turns and oceans toss

And still our hearts she’ll fill

So when you weep and mourn her loss

She will be in you still.
