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
