A tender chill, a gentle warmth—autumn lingers near,
I rest by your side, calm as the fading year.
Time dances in silence, in glimmers and gleam,
While red leaves drift like fragments of a dream,
Stirring soft echoes within the soul unseen.
Half in slumber, half awake, I find again
That thousand-fold smile, serene and plain.
Let me be snow in wandering skies,
Kissing cheeks with crystal sighs,
Unraveling waves of longing that never die.
How much love must this world retain,
While fleeting life shifts form again?
With one I love, let joy be done—
Ask not if it’s fate or burden won.
Like willows swaying, like spring’s first breath,
I’ll walk with you past winter’s death.
Let your heart dive into mist and rain,
Release the fire, forget the pain—
And in spring’s embrace, let love remain.
