Lost September

September years are past our bloom
           For lost upon the grey forlorn
       In misty dreams I hear your voice
         My hands I raise to touch your grace
            Dissolve in tears my life erase
               Mistakes I made amend your fate
             To live Septembers’ Autumn glow
           And heal our heart of lost desires
        As winters chill begins its reach
     Remember loves past still to keep
