Taken
Another day has passed me by
Taken gently, by the falling sun, and the starry sky
Leaving stiletto barbs that heaven will hone tonight
Today disappeared
As a slim gray ghost that has been taken away
I never thought to say goodbye...
It seemed but one of many days
That come and go
But then a flickering shadow of bare boughs
A certain wind that blew
Curling brown leaves around my feet
As if to remind me
This was a phantom day
A slim, gray, ghost,
That never will pass my way again
My thoughts had other needs today
And reckless .... was I....
I never thought to say goodbye...
