The sweetness of the summer breeze
The glitter of stars on still water
The inky black of the sky seeping into serene shallows
The nodding trees
That agree with the wind but not with me
The laughing voices across the field
The feeling of being finally free
Your heart calling out to mine
Why?
Why does everything come to an end?
The final page
Dusty and crumpling
Is still so quiet and final
The way out of a maze
It’s following us like
A cop car with flashing lights
Lights that dance across the road at night
It hungers to end
The harmony of love
The laughing of friends
This will never happen again
