I DREAM ANOTHER DAY

One by one
The leaves fall on me softly
With a silent music, all their own
And I recede unknowingly
From this world
This path, meandering into mysteries
The autumn hugging me close
In notes
Wrung from reluctant strings
Some painful, some euphoric
I walk on
Each step an unravelling memory
Of a summer night
Hung beautifully between us
Holding us together
In a gossamer web
With the musky fragrance of the stars
And we called it love….
