I came upon an ancient voice as I sat down today
Surrounded by her family she seemed to be at bay
Even though the sun was warm and a gentle breeze gave way
The mood I felt was ominous, she seemed to want to say
"I hear the sound of distant drums and smell the fields of hay
When I was young and passionate, in love with life all day"
Sitting in her proper chair and entertaining folk
Her mind was not within the place, her thoughts were far afloat
The journey she was headed on had only just begun
Her thoughts were nurtured by the rain that came with years of sun
Remembrances of days gone by and loves did fill her soul
When rainy days gave way to sun, the sunshine on her soul
