That’s All

I watch the sun come up in morning
Then, see it bow down to moonlight
I don't know which is lonelier
Bright of day or dark of night?

I watch the rippling of the surface
Of waters flowing in the stream
As it swiftly passes by me
Like those dreams I used to dream.

I watch the clouds up in the sky
Paint their figures, rearranging
While my days here in this world
Just come and go, never changing.

I watch the flowers in the springtime
Blossoming, in lovely hues
But the only colors in my life
Come in different shades of blues.

I watch the change of seasons
Spring, summer, and the fall
And then, one of these winters
It will be the end, that's all.

Yo Abe,

This works for me.  I like the last line.
