I know this is old. But I just love this video and this woman....

Beautiful video. Beautiful poem





Eulogy for you and me

the clock is going to turn back soon the leaves are already changing
we said goodbye for the final time my room needs rearranging
the sidewalks are full of people and leaves we're all turning colours
i want more radiance and less green this season will be my perfect lover
long nights for more dreaming short days to fill real and fast
sweaters for my heart's safe-keeping for my soul's heating through the cold of winter to last

the clock is going to turn back soon i've an eye upon its fixtures
the wall waits patiently for the sun's first rays and the day no one's there to witness
we gave it a go no i guess we can't exist in this
i'm going to celebrate the new year with all the good witches
little chocolate bars are for little kids i want a cauldron and the nourishment that comes with it
we gave it a good go, no i guess we can't fix it
and clocks and hearts and time keeps going but we didn't

the clock tick tocks and i walk alone like i am used to
i wanted to call your bones home but i didn't get to
your shoulder a stop over and i guess i had to
i was lonely from no love and you showed me what it could do
you showed me what i would do when i had some but it is not to be with you
and i've been sad enough and i've been mad some but what good does that do
the leaves are not upset that they're leaving their branches
things change, time passes, death happens
and what happened surely changed me
and the hereafter is full of sadness that is raw and so also sweet
'cause every time a cold heart thaws it send a river of tears to nourish the ground on the way
to the sea

i bow my head to praise and remember this
look up again to greet my day
this is a eulogy for you and me i won't forget
still i'll let go just the same
