KNIGHT OF AUTUMN LOVE
On the empty evening breezes
Softly calls
Her faintly rendered song
Lonely sounding distant echoes
Casting dreams
In shades of autumn love
Glow rekindled warms the vessel
Deep adrift,
In ebbing heart away
Where a spirit sinks to shadows
Gently rests
Her twilight in Knight’s soul
*****
In season of receding sun
Love touch the knight through darkness and the cold
Embrace the waning vision scene
And wave your fan toward the yearning coals
Make tender sweet your melody
Like peaceful raindrops slowly on life’s stream
*****
Where colored leaves are falling
Along a country road
Let’s walk awhile together
And share a hand to hold
When snowflakes start to gather
And blossom in the air
Our quiet flames will linger
Around us everywhere
Faith bearing seeds of springtime
Awaiting promised birth
Sows love to bloom as flowers
Paint beautifully the earth
Creatively like magic,
A gift has come our way
So precious as the sunshine
That lights a summer day
*****
O Lord amid your mysteries vast
Upon the endless sea
Voyaging knight on venture flight
By grace abides in thee
Beyond the veil of secret truth
With noble gallantry
Trusting that this autumn love
Will to your glory be
*****
Her steps you guide now to the ancient path
Where Knight conveys a prayer of sacred love
Faithful in the power of a strength
Much greater than a pledge can rise above
