Underneath the skyline
Glows the softest shade
Of alabaster

A lime light shimmering
Quietly,
In Autumn’s afternoon

And still
The evening ends
Often, far too soon

Drifting away
Like fallen leaves
Serenely settling
Into tomorrow’s eve

Arms embrace lonely smiles
And caress away
The hourglass
Of endless miles

Thoughts of romance
And simple things
Are never misplaced
Or wasted dreams

Move closer to love
Draw nearer to those
Whose eyes and hearts
Shine kindness dear

And, still, so quietly
In Autumn’s afternoon

The evening ends
Often, far too soon
