Summer's End

Tonight is summer's end. Tonight my eyes do not know where to find her. Tonight I fear that I

Have lost her. The first icy chill of autumn kisses my face in the breeze. All about me dead leaves

Fall and whirl on the pavement of the dark alley where I walk alone, under a crescent moon.

Without warning, the one I love has disappeared, a moon lost in its shadow. (And I feel my heart

Dying and falling with the leaves.) Tonight is summer's end. Tonight my eyes do not know where

To find her. Tonight will be so long without her. Hidden in her vast silence she has suddenly grown

More distant than the stars.
