Why did you wait
till this lonely time to arrive
and isolate us from ourselves,
to silently depart
like this…..
Wouldn’t your voice be echoed
amongst these mountains
ringed around us,
ever again?
Wouldn’t we be meeting
on Nantua lake-banks
ever again?
Wouldn’t the lost swan
be swimming in this lake
ever again?
