Another Page - jnr williams

If all the swallows in the sky

Should fall to their graves, in my name

If a tidal wave washed through my city

I’ll turn another page

And start again

If a devils march should play when they lay me to rest

With blood-rose garlands covering my hollow chest

If tiger-lilies grow over my headstone

I’ll turn another page

I’ll turn another page

And start again

As nature fights its way out through the cracks

Of pavements often trodden, I believe that

I’ll find my way

Regardless of the aging of the trees

No matter how tempestuous the seas

I’ll find my way

I’ll turn another page
