Karine

The afternoon was well along

The wind was approaching gale force

She was about to leave...

She was aching all over

She had aged beyond recognition

***

An angels passes

An anxious moment

And she is so anxious to go

To go ahead

Because to be so alive and kicking

And more dead than alive

On earth

It's better to go

Because to dream one's youth

To think dreamy of better health

Dream away

On earth

It's better to go

***

In an agony of pain

She has accepted finally the inevitable

To the angel of death

When the wind is down

She was gone

But the tears ran down her face

The time came too soon

Twenty one years old, it's really too soon...
