gone too soon

Like a comet
blazing across the evening sky
gone too soon

like a rainbow
fading with the tinkling of an eye
gone too soon

shiny and sparkly
and splendidly bright
here one day
gone one night

like the loss of sunlight
on a cloudy afternoon
gone too soon


like a castle
built upon a sand beach
gone too soon

like a perfect flower
that is just beyond your reach
gone too soon

born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
here one day
gone one night

like a sunset
dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon

gone too soon.
