Letters from autumn
once wrote of a past,
knowing that love
had found us at last.

Smiles of winter
still still echo in dawn.
Yet smiles, now frozen,
whisper "move on".

Trust is an island
where hope appears new,
and nothing's more precious
than all that is you.

Spring is a river
where change softly cries,
drifting from trust,
preparing for lies.

Hope, ever-drowning,
still sings for a mate,
Yet souls never found
cannot create fate.

Our hands, still so soft,
mirror hearts of the sun.
Letting us go
may free us to run.

Go find the season
where trust doesn't fade;
go towards the dreams
of promises made.

Go to the brightness
we both hold so near,
free of the sorrow
that wakens our fear.

And if, in the morning,
we grow from this too,
there's something still precious
in all that was you.
