The sun rises slower each day
Clouds get heavier
Holding onto the rain –
The cough comes more often now.
The river has turned dark
Flowing less pure
Reflection’s getting harder to see –
Thought I saw some blood today.
The trees can barely dance
The wind has died down so
But the leaves still hang on –
Doc said, ah don’t worry.
Went out late last night
Didn’t see one star fall
How’s a man make a wish come true –
When all he trusts ignores him.
The moon half there, half crazy
Smiled down and told me a secret;
Don’t worry so, death takes care of it all –
I light another smoke and give that old moon a wink.
