The sky changed its mood again and blackness colored the once cherry sun.
The distant chime of midnight sways with the wind,
Carrying along whispered prayers to the night.
Once again a day bows in exit,
I lie awake; my mind wanders, lost in the galaxies,
A thousand bright eyes staring down on me
Did they awake just to watch me sleep?
Are the angels really watching over me?
With eyes wide shut, I begin to slip
Deep, deep into oblivion…
One time went by, and two is almost done
Tomorrow merges with the past, and,
Once again I am caught, gathering up pieces of a life
One that passes as swiftly as the evening shadows
Leaving only warm memories as company by nightfall
The good life – I think, the good life – I think
The Good One I thank for the good life I’ve lived.
