Serenity

'Twas beautiful day
Weather was prepared fair
In calm swansong

We had planned ahead
Meeting at picnic place
For these last moments

Perhaps last warmth, above us cloudless sky
August is done, with it those summer days

Gathered on the lake
For the last perfect day
Gather last memories
Cherish them in autumn

After those warming days
How I can't remember
Where the days passed so fast
Within moments

Had I done all I hoped for

Filled picnic baskets
Under apple trees
The waters are still warm
We can play games

Around us the verdant fields
By our old picnic place
We're together today
At this moment

Moment I'd wish to keep alive:

Serenity
