Last rays of sunlight
Filter through ancient trees
It is the ending of
Another peaceful day
And it wanes...
On a warm terrace
To the clink of cocktails
Enjoyed with...
Smoked salmon and Parma ham
Bedecking a porcelain plate
And everything is so well
But then I thought
About the global news
So many, so far away
In pain, fear and soon anger
And it reminds me that
Soon...
I shall have more guilt
To carry; for a little while
And so, so, suddenly...
The day dims to black
And is not so perfect anymore
It never was
And...
Not till the ages descend
And bear me away
Shall I be guilty no more.
