Whispers Of Autumn
Marilyn Dale


Fallen leaves
Beneath my feet
Every step
Recalls our street
Chestnut smoke and
Twilight skies
Hold the memory in my eyes
Lantern lights on misty nights
Golden glow through window lights
Every breeze
A soft refrain
Brings me back to you again
Autumn reminds me
Clear and true
Every flame was lit by you
Though the seasons keep us apart
Autumn still carries my heart
Golden haze in morning rain
Softly calls your name again
Shadows stretch where we once stayed
Love eternal in each shade
Autumn reminds me
Warm and near
Every song
I sing
You hear
Though the summer has lost its fire
Autumn recalls my one desire
Even as the years drift by
Leaves return
And so do
I
In the quiet
The colors glow
Every autumn lets me know
Autumn reminds me
Clear and true
Every flame was lit by you
Though the world may change its view
Every autumn belongs to you
