Come to Life!
The days are long
the hours are long
she sits
prepared to wait
and wait and wait
for his stepsto return
from the coma
She counts
with him
1 2 3 4 5
as he runs
into her arms
Come, little boy!Come!
This time
Run back into life!
The days drag
the hours drag
heavy for her
heavy for him
*
Eina
he says
tiny finger
pointing at pond
eina eina eina
Water
she says
Eina
pointing at puddle
eina eina eina
Water
she says
His blue eyes
look up
to her
eina eina eina
Now she
knows
Eina
she says
eina eina eina
