To Vaughn Williams
How soon forgotten we shall be.
One last breath before a sea.
One wave roars and we are gone
Another forms a bar of sand
A monument to once was man.
Most make no noise; strike no chord.
All their works forgotten, motionless.
A name engraved on marble stone.
Like a still-life waits to be to explored
Behind a door that's been ignored.
Tallis washed upon the shore.
Prints he left in bars and clefs.
You follow then you resurrect.
