This is a real short chapter HAHA :D hope you like it!
Mother is gone the next day, and all the days after that. Later I heard she died from a sudden and unexpected heard attack when she was at work. Her house is filled with death, white lilies are sent with stupid notes stuck hurriedly onto the stem; they arrive at her door, and stay there, the wilted pile of flowers getting bigger with each passing day.
While she was getting ready to go to hell, I wrote a song.
That day, I sat under the rose bush, my guitar resting in my lap, regarding the change in the ocean surface, the swelling of the tide, rising, rising, then the crash, the downfall, carrying surfers, suntanned, over waves, cheering, as they searched for the thrill in the vast waters.
Ever since I was a small child, I had lost myself in the midst of this rose bush, watching it watch me grow, year after year, as it repeated itself again and again.
I loved the roses, but there was one in particular that always caught my eye. Its dark red coloring blotted with ink black dots, made it look vulnerable, its imperfection making it beautiful.
Beneath the sunshine, under the rosebush that day, I wrote it a song.
Dark skies, pink sunsets,
Everyday of your life
I could watch you stand around
Every night, waiting for the sun to go down
Pale moon, paradise
Every night of your life
I remember you all alone
On you own, listening to the stars dying down
Whispers across the shadowed moon
Silver clouds raining tears around you now
Your dancing where the willows blow
Hanging down, a little too low
Years passed, angel sings
Everyday of your life
She’d never missed a day
Oh that Fourth of July, fireworks dying down
Whispers across the shadowed moon
Silver clouds raining tears around you now
Your dancing where the willows blow
Hanging down, a little too low
