Analysis of WILL ALWAYS STAY



The twilight falls over
After a noon so bright,
The cool breeze flutters over
Gently rustling the silent night.

I look with joyous wonder
Upon the cloudy  sky.
While my winged soul ponders,
Dreams of a future gone by.

And while my memory wanders,
In the last bit of delight.
The darkness hovers,
Over the glowing parts of my life..

As the sun sets upon yet another day,
The whispering wind slowly scatters my dreams away.
The soft petals of memories so tainted with rosy hue,
Are strewn across the endless stream and past my view.

And as the shrouding gloom casts its mystic play.
The unblosomed flower withers away
Though the fragrance will always stay.
