Walking in bottomless vales
Tearful lore over solemn graces
Fills my memories with corporate silence
Paths made of yesterdays shade
Falling silently to the ground
In luxurious carpets
Poems in trees and lolling brooks
sad waters echo words
Of yesterdays sunshine
Blanketing memories of past
with golden hues that sigh
Of natures brilliant artists
Wafting by the stagnant tide
Amidst its earnest woe
Ear bent towards its babbling song
Autumn's flowers fragrant top
glides specter into the scene
Tones framed in ivy clad garment
Each nook holds destiny
As it steals into winters sleep
All its splendors unspoken
In murmurs of returning life
Hopes drift through wanton airs
Awaiting the worlds rebirth
