Simonides

I can't top Simonides

I won't even try

But, blue and stars

Are always on my mind

If I could lie

Upon

A bed of soft, wet grass

And dream, and think of what is to come next,

I would do this every night

From the pale setting of the sun

To the soft moon's rise

Life would be easy

And I'd quit thinking

Of my sorrowful, possible demise.
