Like An Autumn Sun
I thought I had forgotten
the end of summertime,
I thought I stopped remembering
that last night you were mine.
Moments side by side
before fresh petals dried.
But like an autumn sun in skies of blue,
Low I sink in you.
Recalling our slow dance
far from crowds and friends,
My fleeting light through leaves,
through thoughts and quiet love
in cobbled narrow streets.
To first October rain
pit-pattering in streams
Flowing,slowly falling
like early threaded dreams.
Swaying,gently playing
sad fluting melodies.
But like an autumn sun in skies of blue,
Low I sink in you.
Suddenly I think,I think of you.
Upon your tired shoulders
I set my orange hue.
