Analysis of A Lovely Future
Far away off in the future
In a cloud that is all but gay
The shining blue of young love’s tears
Will give a tiny kiss to gray.
Gray meaning love that is stable.
Gray meaning love that is true.
Balancing out the dynamic
And perfectly completing blue.
The colors will mesh and tangle
As they start to fall long and hard
Landing in grass so blithe and green
That the rest of the world looks marred.
Rainbows will be superfluous,
And lovebirds will sing songs for naught
The world’s largest ocean of love
Is harbored in one tiny drop.
