[mousey1]

softly sings
the silence of remembering
of senseless death
of pointless hate
of bickering
softly sings
as gentle as the breezes
free
no longer self encumbered
wrapped in pain and misery
just softly sing
the strains of death
are not so silencing
the muse of love and peace
goes on and always will

so softly sing
