Dearest, as the sun sets
mist gathers in the valley
night slowly spreads its skirts
Dearest, thousands of stars
in the night sky above us
and moonlight caressing autumn roses
Dearest, under our steps
rustling leaves break into the dust
Fall running it’s symphony
Dearest, seductive lights
hugging the sidewalk and tree branches
while the breath freezes on the lips
Dearest, warm words ceased
only wind-driven echo
reminds us of the long gone spring

Dearest, as the sun sets
mist gathers in the valley
night slowly spreads its skirts
Dearest, thousands of stars
in the night sky above us
and moonlight caressing autumn roses
Dearest, under our steps
rustling leaves break into the dust
Fall running it’s symphony
Dearest, seductive lights
hugging the sidewalk and tree branches
while the breath freezes on the lips
Dearest, warm words ceased
only wind-driven echo
reminds us of the long gone spring
