When They Finally See

The time will come for everyoneTo finally see the skyThe blanket warmth of yellow sunAnd breezes blowing by

The gentle fade from dark to lightThe moonlight’s sad goodbyeThe way the stars adorn the nightAnd greet the passerby

The clouds that bring back memoriesWhen dreams were still in reachThe calm and peaceful libertiesThat nature seems to preach

The colors born in summertimeThat age throughout the yearWith beauty spoken not in rhymeAnd heard not by the ear

But seen when sunlight breaks at dawnAnd saturates the skiesWhen pain and foolish doubt are goneAnd peace shines in their eyes

Yet when they finally see the skyA sadness will arriveFor letting beauty pass them byThe years they were alive
