A gathering of tears Embrace the divine tragedy A chorus of saddened spirits Echoing silently… forever Autumn hath awakened her children The dying leaves soundlessly fall The withering trees whisper of winter dreams Thus… she shamelessly unveils herself The silence is forever broken Behold her blanket of darkness Enshrouding the solemn tranquility She becomes the earth with her kisses The winds play their autumnal melodies Her children sing the song of her coming Dark formations gather in her mirth To storm the gates of earthly bliss Autumn hath awakened her children I am the raging storm and gentle breeze I am the glistening stream and earthen soil I am the rain and the ever darkening sky I am the velvet shadows of the night Embrace the dreaming mystery… Partake of my scornful bereavement Welcome my tears
