Analysis of Today Is Warm And Bright
Today is warm and bright, yesterday was wet and windy;
As I moved slowly out of sight, you came to see me.
The clouds came together as one, grass grew under the trees;
Raindrops flow thru the sun, in this world, you do as you please.
Cool winds blow, then it is hot as we lay on sod-trodden ground;
You quiet my mind with expanding thought as we lay still not making a sound.
Sadness streaks from an eye, falls softly on land wetted with due;
Flowers leave an expresionless sigh as we laugh - I'm there with you.
