'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
