The sky looked crisp and blue and the houses outside our window were gleaming in sunlight. You could almost think they were rejoicing. The beginning of the day was promising. It’s been a while since we had been blessed with such a light, bright and clear and simply beautiful. The past days were just like November days are supposed to be, gray and cold and over too soon.
The rest of the day was pitch black.
To lay me down once more, to lay me down
With my head in sparkling clover
Let the world go by, all lost in dreaming
To lay me down one last time, to lay me down
Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
