I remember sunlight dancing across her face

Patterns in my mind gently etched in golden amber

And when the summer ended she'll be gone away

I will become only memories of hauntings and yesterdays

Now summer has ended and the warmth is gone

Nothing but a breeze, a narrow stream that aims to block my passage

In mountain’s spring, sorrow took her as it sung

My heart was buried with her in beneath the bleeding oaks

She died alone in the mournful rain

No drop of sun again in painful solitude

She feels the roses black as seething night

I will reside abiding cursed woods

Gold and ochre

Behold the tapestry of the fall

There is a beauty a certain subtle grandeur

In the withering that consumes us all

Among the side, these chosen mouths

They feed upon forgotten soil as

The leaves fly to her desperate cries

As the ravens watch from every branch

And with discreet her final fall

This solemn cause

They count the dead

And throw them to their graves

Time fades

Away as

Sorrow remains

And as a final song she sang:

Time fades

As I comprehend

I am the ashen eidolon

The deeper shade of grey

She shadowed with her flaming leaves

Her wings of golden downs are burning like

The swirling arrows against the pouring rain

Which gave now heart as I am coughing out

Expect her brooding limbs and shattered stars

And now they’ve hung her lifeless begging corpse

They gave her liming for what she could no longer bear

And forged for her a heaven giving truth

Gold and ochre

Behold the tapestry of the fall

There is a beauty a certain subtle grandeur

In the withering that consumes us all
