Life's Autumn

As in a dream an angel shines On pieces of heaven drifting In the mind of times of A life’s savored memories. The mists of falls gone by Of schoolbooks, woods, And dancing leaves You and I under old oak trees. Do you remember that weathered place We played house, enjoying china teas? We, so refined, so elegant In an old Indian summer. Now as I warm my tired old feet, Close my eyes, turn to yesteryear, And meet you in my dreameries, In life's autumn, I am, I am content.
