Last Autumn Dream

A leaf through the sky above a dark deep lake
September’s lost teardrops, last farewell
Golden dream falling down into a second well before the winter’s door

Last call of spring upon September chill
Mad blooming grace of chestnut-trees
Wish of wonders above the boundless feel
Dreamer’s town of a heart still deeply caresses
A moment of life forever frozen in time

Undone by the hand, played by the heart
Little memory of a hoping child
Like a dreamless wandering of midsummer night
I long for a dream of fading autumn love

Mermaid’s kiss on a forehead, lost moments will never come back
Cold tide signs a door before the call is gone
Final strife of golden days, last song of frozen autumn

Nightingale’s song dwells nomore, but in heart it stays forever
Embracing me with a veil of dreams
The love, the awe, the wonder

In the horizon, beyond a heart of sundown beam
Calm waters write a child’s dream
Little hideaway for you and me to sleep
Golden dream still holding on a wish before the winter’s door
