Not ever

'Not now. Not ever', it rolled like a lullaby

From rose-breasted grosbeak to silent cry

It lingered on the pallor of her cheek

Tattoed like ink that need not speak 

Tears rolled on in silent stills

Tumbling forth o'er rolling hills

Mountain grows and ocean fills

Beauty swells with swallowed ills

So she stood tall as she beheld the call

The final toll to end them all

Growing bold, like messenger's melody

'Not now. Not ever' she danced her eulogy.

Tears rolled on in silent stills

Tumbling forth o'er rolling hills

Mountain grows and ocean fills

Beauty swells with swallowed ills

And when the hymn was laid to rest

A life renewed in nature's nest

So rose the moon to greet the night

To end the endless waking plight

Tears rolled on in silent stills

Tumbling forth o'er rolling hills

Mountain grows and ocean fills

Beauty swells with swallowed ills

Dreams awoken vision passed

Nevermore a world too vast

Finally home with everything

'Right now. Forever' grant freedom sing
