Autumn winds


Changes are happening
Sun now starts sinking
Autumn winds now whisper in my life
Then winter cuts with its sharp knife
Chilling me to the bone
Now that I'm all alone

Sweet was the springtime
Summer a heady wine
How glorious were those days of ours
As we whiled away those happy hours
The sun knows does she not?
That you'll never be forgot

  10. No matter how much we still wish for summer, there's no way to stop the turning of the seasons. But doesn't winter seem more frequent than it used to?

  12. This one pull a very long sigh out of me, Robin. I think that the sun knows, indeed... That's the reason why it reaches through the freezing clouds, to warm our hearts... ☼
