DAY OF MOURNING For one day I’ve the right to mourn, for one day I’ll shut the windows of the sky, I’ll dismiss the blue, I’ll raise a black sun to mark my mourning. For one day I’ll wilt the flowers, for one day I’ll silence the birds. I’ve the right to mourn one day, I’ve the right to mourn. He was hit in battle, body full of wounds, he was hit in battle, blood flowed from huge wounds. The seas of his eyes are deserted, sand his hair, I’ve the right to mourn the man whose hair was sun, full of wounds he died. For one day I shall sit idle, the windows of the sky closed , not one horse has been saddled. Poem by Kaija Valkonen. Keep up the GOOD work // M.Skafte
