Flash

*Have you seen the flash of green

That sits above the setting sun?

It fades away like every dream

That ends before it has begun.

 

But every night the sacred light

Returns again to speak to me,

And every night, the sacred light,

Reminds me of how things should be.

 

We all should laugh, or have a gaff,

At the day and what was done

And every grain of blessed pain

Should fade away with her, the sun.

 

But as the stars begin to shine

Above the murky atmosphere,

Our thoughts begin to turn to time

And how the end is almost here.

 

So grab your lass and fill your glass

And drink away the night with her,

If time should pass, as in the past,

At least you’ll spend the last with her.*
