Golden Blaze

The sun goes down in a blaze

In a flaming golden haze

A pot of gold in the skies

A coin ‘pon Charon’s eyes

Bidding farewell to rich verse

Golden hearts handed to the universe

Leaving mourning minds in a daze

As the sun goes down in a blaze.

Maybe

Maybe I’ll just close my eyes tonight

To find everything was just a dream.

Maybe I will be running to the light

To find it was only a moon beam.

Maybe I’ll forget to say I love you

To find it would be my last chance.

Maybe I’ll forget to pay you your due

To find it would be our last dance.

Maybe I should just hold you tight

To find that you alone make my heart scream.

Maybe I should die in your arms tonight

To find that you will always be my dream.

One can never know how things will go.

We need to take the time and live slow.
