The Height of Summer

In the morning I went down to the beach

and gazed out to the sea

Suddenly I was only a leaf

and you were an ancient flower

When I’m away do you think of me

or is it only when I’m present

on the cliff I lay my head down

now where the sun is

How is Charles

I haven’t heard from him for a long long time

A thousand years seem to pass

So quickly

We wash our hands in water

and we rub them with the cloth

I have an idea what comes after

what will happen when I’m gone

Along the coastline we sow some seeds

It is lemon it is mint

Then the buzzing cicadas

rock us to sleep

How is Charles

I haven’t heard from him for a long long time

A thousand years seem to pass

So quickly
