Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves are falling
There is sadness in my heart
Red passions, golden memories
Have gathered to depart
The chilling winds of winter
Blow across a barren field
Stripped of all its splendor
Of the beauty once revealed
Flowers painted yellow
Blossoms pink and white
Just dust between the furrows
In the slowly dimming light
Free to sail the heavens
No longer bound with slings
Black bird into emptiness
I soar on broken wings
