The veil is thinning
Night is gone
A new beginning
The coming dawn
Then so suddenly on the rise
I see autumns auburn eyes
Where the heavens and earth embrace
They touch so gently upon her face
She is the fire
That's claiming me
Newborn desire
This flaming tree

Silence is broken
Throughout the land
All are awoken
By her hand
As she ascends from on the hill
Each dying flower meets her will
And every time she walks this way
They all shall live another day
How do I know
She won't miss me
For I still grow
Apart of this tree

As she fades
My tear stained eyes
Follow the glades
Where the river lies
On the horizon a wondrous sight
A lonely lover lights up the night
Trust in feelings not the mind
For all along we've been so blind
To share the sun
Emboldens me
To make as one
Our golden tree

Walt~
This is stunning poetry~
Replete with vividity and imagery,
yet gently clothed in tenderness~
VERY VERY VERY enjoyable~
A keeper~

Walt! Your sensitive side shows quite often and this is one of those times. It's got YOU written all over it. I don't think anyone could have done this better. (And I'm sure you have NO reason to have your hand in 'deer's pocket!)
