Analysis of Holiday Eternal
Time has lost its meaning
Sun and moon just blend
Each day is vacation
Startings without end.
There is nothing scheduled
No deadlines to meet
Walk is a meander
Rest is easy feat.
Totally at leisure
Not a thing to do
Paint is slowly drying
Grass is growing too.
No external pressure
Life's a gentle groove
Let it be "sans souci"
There's nothing to prove.
Holiday eternal
Celebrate the coup
Heaven is residence
Freedom makes it true.
