Gone Too Soon

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

gone too soon

like a castle

built upon a sandy 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
