The Light of Autumn

The days are short but sharp and shining
Brilliantly bright and perfectly clear
Before the smiling sun reclining
Welcomes the moon as the stars appear
The sky itself deftly defining
The clarity of this time of year
When the heart is called to contemplate
Answers of life and questions of death
Matters of faith fame fortune and fate
In every heartbeat on every breath

We wonder but it is not too late
No never too late to leave behind
The mistaken notions of our past
We can think a new way change our mind
We can make the dream come true at last

In the light of autumn we can see
Reflected there in the sparkling sky
That we can do better here below
Better than this and we have to try
We look within our heart and we know:

The future is up to you and me
