Dew

overnight
the weather cooled
and all the grass was dewed
in the morning
the sun was shining
life renewed
and I won't cry over you

we only have
one moment
then the next
and then it's gone
and all we had
were years that passed
and tears to smother
the feelings
that couldn't last

we are all
we can change
the rest is a cage
we are all
we have to hold on to
the rest is chains

in the evening
stormclouds gathering
and soon the rain comes
to wash away
our rusted pain
burnt out by the sun
unloved by anyone.
