Autumn

Maple trees in radiant autumn dress
The crickets slow their song
Winter soon will be here
And nights will soon be long

The warm light in my soul remains
Not cooled by change of season
And you my love, my heart and soul
Are the single, simple reason

Time can not take away from me
The treasures of my memory
Of poetic day and soulful night
Days so special, nights so right

A simple glimpse from time to time
A moment, perhaps a word or two
Rekindles the ambient afterglow
Of the time that I spent with you
