"Gold"
Yellow streak across the gloomy ash
Through golden spectacles piercing eyes flash
Night broken with a sickening crash
Scarlet now the color of the night.
Lovers and sinners stricken and smote
Before the all-seeing eyes that smile and gloat
So we beat on, against the current and borne, boats.
To find a time before the gold and death
A freshly picked Daisy who took our breath
Away from the city
Away from the city
Houses filled with unused rooms,
Closets filled with unused brooms,
Bedrooms with unslept beds,
Library with books unread,
Buy yourself happiness anew
Swap from Gold to blue
And not the yellow flu.
But the money does not, presently make it easy
Happiness; a wind in this world so breezy.
Find what you want and take it.
Don’t wait or break it.
If it’s what you want, make it.
The green light has been swept away,
Into the long distant day.
Time didn’t stop.
