Autumn Lullaby - Bridget St. John

As autumn comes, I stay behind and gather sounds she leaves for me

She sings, «be gentle, be kind, this is not always easy

But if a man should ask for more, don’t be afraid to give

And when he dares not ask at all, then offer what you have»

She shows me pine and cedar tree

Magnolia, yew, and tamarisk

The evergreen is ever free

I hear her, I remember this

I shuffle with October leaves and worn out wings of butterflies

Through water whispers grokking weeds, I sing her autumn lullaby
