unnoticed by the crowd

Summer slipped away unnoticed by the crowd

Too busy seeing simple things

Too late now, it has gone

To someplace far and new

Then front side up against night sky

Cold wind skips across your skin

The truth of night will shock us all

The moment that we snatched from time

Slips away unnoticed by the crowd

And from afar we saw it all 

We felt it in the summer breeze

We held it till it struggled free

Sometimes I feel it in the air

I think I hear it in the trees

I slip its grip most every time

Unnoticed by the crowd
