Bed of Leaves

An early shadow fills the void
And winds spread out their lonely call
Where many nights I once enjoyed
And rain foretells an early fall. 

You were with me full long ago;
We walked across a bed of leaves
And tried to catch the flakes of snow
Whose fall bewilders and deceives. 

Since then, much time has come and passed
And only memories remain, 
But I still wonder if I’d last
Outside their rich and vast domain.
