Epilogue To Dreams

To Ewa

After closing her eyes forever,
her Dream vanished.
A cheerful woman disappeared from life
had to fly to the heaven
between the angels and stars,
watching the earth plunged in darkness,
and left us suffering.
No tears she can shed anymore,
No compassion she can offer,
and her soul was bleeding.
O, beautiful nightingale! Why can not you sing
and wander between the butterflies and flowers
as before ?
Is it possible you may come back?
The endless nature that received your soul,
pure and ablaze, spreading love and compassion
wherever you were, is merciless.
It deprived us from you!
It planted the seeds of sorrow in our hearts
growing to agonizing plants,
with no hope to remove.

You took the light to the heaven,
You left us in darkness,
Our hearts are in flame
Our minds are confused.

Why has the monster chosen
and strangled the broken-wing nightingale?
Your chance in life ended
our joyous life.
Please come back to us!
You have right to show up to our minds,
A beautiful unforgettable memory
will never fade!

You have to come here,
to hear our laments.
Are you still there?
Please say where you are!
You never wanted us to be miserable
Why do not you answer then?
We remember your beautiful chatting and laughing,
when the life was young and the spring was green.
Why did you stop it?

The frightful tolling with tones
of mourning at midnight that
the singing nightingale has departed
without fulfilling her dreams,
changed us forever and made our life different.
Please rest in peace surrounded by angels,
we see you in our memory and dreams.
