I sleep here beneath these autumn stars
while I await the cloak of winter to guard me against winters harshest breath
my earthly duties have come to an end
as the leaves lie there on the ground beneath branches that once held them
I now stand here without all that I once held
as daylight now turns its back on me
and the autumn night clad with all stars reaches down to enfold me.
