A walk in August

Give me one last chance

To give this world a glance

To memorize this eve

Tell me, my friend

Should this really end?

Why should I believe?

 

That the trees are green

that I have been

'til this hour oblivious

That I have not seen

 

August has come

Fall's already begun

Already on leaves I am walking

They rain will soon fall

Don't know how long the skies will stall

And to myself I am talking

 

Because I won't explain

I will look insane

To people passing my way

They won't think I'm okay

 

I'm feeling sick

No more flowers to pick

They might have already been pluck

I can't win the gaze

Or people amaze

For with no flowers I am stuck

 

The path I stride

Or with a bike I ride

Is lacking my treasure

Should I walk the other side?
