An Autumn Rain

In Central Oregon

Liquid mirrors on flat stone/Reflecting fallen leaves

Naked branches like a bone/A year’s end seen on trees

Little diamonds glistening/Upon sky-reaching grass

Reflecting light that’ll leave you blind/If you closely pass

And looking through the crystal glass/A new perspective found

Experiences that come to pass/And golden leaves...

Fall to the ground

And what’s reflected in these eyes/Is a natural ability

To recognize that with each breath/We lie inside infinity

The trees know of no end/They simply reach for sun

And when dark falls/The stars will shine for each and every one

And liquid mirrors on flat stone/Reflect their moving light

Naked branches like a bone/Await a new world’s delight

Looking through the crystal glass/A new perspective found

Experiences that come to pass/And golden leaves...

Fall to the ground.
