In An Autumn Wood

I sat upon a knoll In an Autumn wood Leaves fluttered through the air I breathed so softly More than I could bear I waited for a time For a tree to speak Clothed in gold Blowing down An autumn leaf Kissed my cheek To caress the bark softly To look up to a mighty tree I pass this way , only once This tree will outlive me My time is so short here In an Autumn wood My time passing by An Autumn leaf Kissed my cheek I cannot stay I have to go Tears fall Like autumn leaves My life In an Autumn wood In a coming winter Ends it all Leaves continued falling Clothed me in gold In an Autumn wood I let go fear... and became part of everything
