As each day draws to a close,
As each year comes to an end,
As each leaf leaves its home,
As each dusk and dawn stains the sky,
All hopes and dreams crescendo.

As Nature starts to peter out
As trees become tusks
As the ground becomes barren
The memories of Green will bring us to our knees.

I wanted to make you something beautiful,
In these days of plenty
But I looked out of the window and saw death stain my view,
How does one say sorry to Earth?
When have reckless actions transgressed our relationship?

When I close my eyes, I can taste the sweetness
When I breath, I image Greenery around me
When I dream, I dream of blue skies
When I daydream, I remember the blue azure waters.

Another year ends, closer to our endings,
Another year ends, we do not stop
Another year ends, more conflict, more wars
Another year ends, greed and despair are on our doors.

All hopes and dreams crescendo,
For another year.
