Fall into these arms

Fall into these arms

My autumn hands 

Trace wondrous lands

Beneath the lampost-

Filtered trees. 

(How brief this memory 

How light it  

Rests upon my mind) 

Should time unfold 

A destiny 

For different eyes and 

Times 

I'd find a way to 

Cross the world

Autumn Wind

Autumn wind in

Haunting bone

Transpires on the

Fissured face 

Love's sole grace her 

Last embrace 

Then down into an

Earthy grave 

When last leaf falls 

Goodbye to all 

Goodbye to Spring and

Summer 

The Winter sleep 

So dark, so deep 

Exhale October night

Exhale October night

And watch those 

Glowing lights shimmer 

In the darkest sky 

I wonder who else 

Stargazes 

These days? 

A lost art since 

Invention of

Synthetic light 

(Tonight I shrug 

The thought away) 

There Jove outshines 

Them all 

Brilliant aural ball 

Along my eye 

Now deeper 

We touch there 

Upon etheric plain

The Convent

Will you help me find my light

Lost with a dying friend

Because tonight I felt a familiar

Spark burn in my heart again.

There beneath the yellow oak

And up by the convent wall

We gazed down the Sister's path 

Until night began to fall
