Vanish

"Sunsets are loved because they vanish." - Ray Bradbury 

Days like this, I could forget
If they were all to vanish,
Come to an end in a sunset
Black clouds I'd ever banish

If they were all to vanish
As skies of orange and blue,
Black clouds I'd ever banish 
If that were so easy to do

As skies of orange and blue
Take place here, now and then,
If that were so easy to do
I'd paint them with my pen

Take place here, now and then
Needed for only a little while, 
I'd paint them with my pen
If only I had such style

Needed for only a little while 
Come to an end in a sunset, 
If only I had such style 
Days like this, I could forget.
