"like a comet blazing across the evening sky
like a rainbow fading in the twinkling of an eye
shiny and sparkly and splendidly bright
here one day, gone one night
like the loss of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon
like a castle built upon a sandy beach
like a perfect flower that is just beyond your reach
born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
here one day, gone one night
like a sunset, dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon."
