Ophelia

Her perfect body dressed in
Golden velvet forms a high relief
Her tender hands are floating
Soft and gently like nymphaea leafs

Her flowing hair caressing
Slippery pebbles like watergrass
The wind is scattering traces
From the dusty ancient towing path

Slowly drifting to the ocean
Her dreadful secret firmly sealed
Down the stream in constant motion
The truth will never be revealed

The final sunbeams passing
Through the branches of the willow trees
Die in the orbits of her eyes
Like sand grains in an hourglass

The eels and worms are taking
Their advantage of her pain release
Her sad and lonely journey
Is commencing below the overpass

Slowly drifting to the ocean
Her dreadful secret firmly sealed
Down the stream in constant motion
The truth will never be revealed

Slowly drifting to the ocean
Her dreadful secret firmly sealed
Down the stream in constant motion
The truth will never be revealed

Slowly drifting to the ocean
Her dreadful secret firmly sealed
Down the stream in constant motion
The truth will never be revealed
