Analysis of Indian Summer
The days are veiled in brightness now, but we are not afraid to lift it,
We do not fear the terrors of the past so much as once we did,
It is something unnatural that cannot be placed,
We will cling to happy golden days and golden memories of old,
Our happy lives, thinly veiled with gold.
