Like a comet

Blazing 'cross the evening sky

gone too soon

like a rainbow

fading in the twinkling 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

like a castle

built upon a sandy beach

that is just beyond your reach

gone too soon

here one day

gone one night

like a sunset

dying with the rising of the moon
