The 29th Of December

Life went on
Before the 29th of December
Her eyes no longer cry
Because life had left her
For night's sky grew black
and cried over her.

For one had died in
In the 29th of December
This wilting rose of pain
Red as the blood
Drunk from her veins
Because her life meaning
had faded away.

On the 29th of December
The wings to her life's being
Flew away
Flew into the sky
Through the cloudy night
and into the sunshine.
