pearls on a thread

family celebrations so perfect and full of joy

and they brought them all together again

landscapes and places full of pulses and yearnings

all tagged with a given promise to return

 

all in row like pearls on a thread

like paintings in your red sealed hall of fame

collected and preserved for a lifetime memory

one more completed chapter of yourself

 

far too many silent seas of candles in the dark

flickering against anger dread and grief

but which of to retain thus all the others have to fade

sometimes it´s hard obtaining a belief

 

all in row like pearls on a thread

like paintings in your red sealed hall of fame

collected and preserved for a lifetime memory

one more completed chapter of yourself

still searching on with that endearing persistance

guess there´s no space like "in between the years"

that´s why beyond all that collecting so pretty in a line

you may surrender  to the endless flow of time

 

all in row like pearls on a thread

like paintings in your red sealed hall of fame

collected and preserved for a lifetime memory
