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 nigh
