The Falls Embrace
Magnus Aspli
Autumnwinds are dancing in my hair
The world overdrawn with grayness
The leaves painted in colours unknown
From other eyes it might look fair
My eyes were ghastly dim
A paleness had seeped over them
Tears ran with the rain down
The sun had sung behind the rim
Bleak eyes see a distant past
Reach for life
Nothing to grab
Fell back dead into this world
In embrace we fell
Among the leaves I lay silent
Warmth flowing through our fingers
We kissed as our tears fell astray
The poor moon watched in awe
Bleak eyes see a distant past
Reach for life
Nothing to grab
Fell back dead into this world
