Autumn Breeze

The wind blows towards me with a silent cry
The leaves speaking my name as they sway
The fresh autumn breeze finds its way
Out from the sky and into my ears

The smell of the lake, rocks, and sand
Carried by the cold autumn day
My hair sways with the sound of the cars
Rushing to get home before dark

The green blades dance and the soft dirt dries
Many old lives will start anew
Away they go with the late September 
And the warm comfort of summer skies

My feet go numb with the chill of winter coming
Replacing the birds and the bees
But with all the cold and the fresh autumn breeze
Reminds me that I am still alive

    Where I’m happy and living free,

    If Only

    If only she knew, as the sun stood ablaze,
    The world she knew would disappear in the haze.
    How long would she dream of water and land?
    How long would she hope for an azure hand?

    If only she knew of the dangers in toll,
