September Song...

Sunset at Zandvoort, ca 1952, Kees Scherer

” It’s enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment.”

— Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

”いまこの瞬間、あなたとわたしが確かに存在していること、それで充分ではないか ”

ー ガルシア・マルケス

*

Oh, it's a long, long time, from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And I haven't got time for the waiting game


Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you ...

As for theme, Fighting Black (= Evil) and White (= Innocence ) is kind of corny to me. 

My soul doesn't pure nor innocent. However this painting is beautiful to me.
