Heart's Autumn

To flee among the trees that lived and died Hidden in shadows of limbs long and bent Still trusting love, a belief that has lied To find the empty depth of your torment Confusion searches for hope in silence Remembering days that have come and gone This world of darkness is growing immense As you await long nights, following dawn Escape these trees and go to the meadow To seek a sun between the clouds that part And find beneath the rain a bright rainbow It's where life is, that can fill your heart Will you lay among the trees of dismay? Are you buried beneath the leaves that stay?
