for an autumn girl

Leaves in your hair, and the bright morning air
It's so...
Halo the sun, as the daybreak has come
It's so...

This is the place
Where all that you feel...
All is for real,

All this is real...

Burn fast the shadows
Our past and its phantoms.
Your form echoes out –
A slight glimmer of blue.
And all that we've wanted
Waited and willed
Taken time from its haunting
Clear and distilled
About our bodies
(In colors swim...)

And this is the place
At the edge of your sleep
With hands extended
To gather, to keep.
And in the silence we fall as one,
To the sentient sky
And all has begun.
All has overcome.
"A drink to the death of endings..."

My heart and my eyes
Now become as birds
Ascending pen winged
to your sky

My heart and my eyes
No become as birds
Ascending open winged
To your sky...

And it's all for an autumn girl
