Copenhagen - Lucinda Willaims

Thundering news
Hits me like a snowball
Struck in my face and shattering
Covering me in a fine powder and mist
And mixing in with my tears
And I'm 57 but I could be 7 years old
'Cause I will never be able
To comprehend the expansiveness
Of what I've just learned
But you
Have disappeared
You have been released
You are flecks of light
You are missed
Somewhere
Spinning round the sun
Circling the moon
Traveling through time
You are missed
Walking through unfamiliar streets
And I'm shaking unfamiliar hands
And I'm hearing unfamiliar laughs
And lovely language I don't understand
It's late October in Copenhagen
The skies are grey
The snow is falling
I see my breath outside, I'm freezing
I'm motionless
I'm disbelieving
But you
Have disappeared
You have been released
You are flecks of light
You are missed
Somewhere
Spinning round the sun
Circling the moon
Traveling through time
You are missed
