When all is said and broken
When all is said and done
When all the words are spoken
And the closing has begun
When all we know is ended
And everything comes still
When all thought has been suspended
And there is nothing to fulfill
When all the wishing’s finished
And all the trying’s past
When all has been diminished
And it’s all brought down at last
Wait for me by the back door
Don’t go on until I come
What was started once, forever
Can’t be left ‘til it’s been undone

A beautiful piece, Winnie ... sad but beutiful. When all is said and done, indeed. What will we think, what will we feel, if anything? I like to believe that this cannot be all there is.

Love, Vi
