The glow from early autumn sunset lays across my skin like honey

Golden light kissing the summer ferns, soft grass drowning in orange glow

The breeze is warm as is it holds on to the last of the seasons heat

I smile as it gently touches my cheeks, and twists through my hair

I let it take me and carry me along with the silver birch leaves

Drifting now as they dance and fall in the static air

So easy to lose my self in the turning of the season

Such romance I feel as autumn takes me along for the change

The mist on the mountain had taken me
And in my breath
Gave weight to my words

Moss and wildflowers had saved me

And when tears stain my cheeks I sniff the honeysuckle
I fill my empty heart with collected pinecones
And wash my wounds in mountain stream

Such love I have felt,
a spell cast under birdsong

Held in the arms of wild orchestra,
heart dancing in the autumn wind
