Find the Dream

There in the dark she is so fair

But with the dawn she's never there

For with the bright morning's new light

I wake and find the dream I've had

Everything is There ........

I hope to arrive at my death late, in love and a little drunk.

There wasn't any Law

               But there wasn't any law, there was no rhyme or reason ; and with the sour-grapes attitude of ''why should there be ?'' - which is as near as you ever came to sophistication - you retired within yourself and compensated for the disappointment by drink ..............
