And so it’s fall again

Winter is coming fast

But solstice has resided in me

Ever since you left.

I never saw the spring

The winter slipped away

Now the leaves are gold again

And I’m stuck here in this fray.

I’m trying to touch the sun

I’m trying to heal my heart

But every time I reach to far,

I simply fall apart.

There was no grandiose goodbye

No echo of angels singing

You left without a word or sound,

And I can’t stop this reeling.

So I’ll keep reaching for the sun

I promise you I’ll fight.

I know if I but open my eyes

God will give me light.

My arms are open to the sky

The unfolding has begun

I will give most everything

Until my battles won.

So send in angels flying

To give my soul a rest

Carry me upon their wings

Their silken threads my nest.

Until at last! I feel the sun

Warm and soft upon my face

And I can set forth from there

Full of benevolence…
