The Autumn Song Plays On

Perfect misty day
Cozy movie time
And staying inside
Kind of day

But all I want to do
Is fly outside like a crazy loon
And dance in the rain
Out beneath the harvest moon

Autumn's dancing by
And I'm racing behind
Try to catch the leaves on the breeze
Gimme a cup of hot coffee please!

Fall is the season when birds fly away
To the south they flock each windy, cold day
And I stare after them wistful, mind practical,
But heart wishful

The cold chills my nose, but wakens my spirit
The silence of the fog bank, then the sun to clear it
Inspires my soul, lifts and charms
I huddle down in my scarf and hug my arms

The blustery wind whips through my hair
My breath swirls like smoke in the air
And the scent of fire and musk
Tickles my nose with the dusk

Nighttime brings the fading of the stars
But the clouds blanket the world and cover it's scars
And the hush of the fog calms me
Bringing peace and stillness gently

Cozy days of hot chocolate and tea
Beating rain and thunder scary
Home becomes a haven
Its comforts heaven

Every year as summer grows old
And winter approaches dark and cold
I drift between two worlds of mine
In that magic in-between time

Some days I am content to cuddle close
Inside my warm and safe house
Others I long to soar south with the birds
And still others a yearning in my heart cries out with bitter words

Winter is coming
Summer is fading
Falling, falling, falling

The Autumn song plays on....
