It was a perfectly clear day. The sun was out and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. The softest of breezes kept away any thought of it being too humid, and the weather was the kind that made anyone, young or old, want to go outside. Smooth jazz seeped from the car radio. I turned it off. It didn't seem to fit for a day like today. As I drove, I saw two glum little boys sitting at a table wit...

Goodbye to the days of warmth and light

Where birds sing their songs in the morning

And fireflies dance under soft glow of moonlight.

Farewell to the grass, freshly cut and green

To the endless blue sky

And the daylight that now, can barely be seen.

Gone is the time that, at one point, seemed to stretch out forever

Yet as a butterfly fleeting swoops out of grasp

That anticipation turned to reflect...
