Summer Slips into the sea.

I thought the sun was gone forever...

The sunset melted into the dark grey sea,

I watched it fade so gracefully.

I wonder if it will revive for sunrise,

or will there be more cold grey skies.

I remember well, I didn't dream last night,

Woke to check the sky in the morning light,

And there, I needed not to care,

The sun is always, always there.

So I feel the happiness once again,

The world is good and I'm still sane.

Blue sky too, my hearts at peace,

And I can all my fears release.
