The sun dips low a painted blush
The city stills a gentle hush
I lean against this ancient bark
Watching colors leave their mark
Green leaves turning gold and red
Soft whispers from the branches spread
Cool air touches on my skin
As twilight gently settles in
Falling slowly one by one
My thoughts unwind beneath the sun
No need to rush no need to chase
Just quiet moments in this place
Oh the sky bleeds orange fire
The whole world stills to my desire
I close my eyes I float away
Just for a breath in the fading day
Orange autumn fades so slow
And the quiet world begins to know
This space between the lonely and the free
Is where I find a peaceful me
The distant mountains softly sleep
Secrets that the shadows keep
Roots like fingers hold the ground
No other living soul around
Just scattered petals on the earth
A quiet contemplation worth
More than all the hurried hours
Lost among the fading flowers
And the light starts to decline
A perfect moment truly mine
I feel the vastness in my soul
Making me completely whole
Oh the sky bleeds orange fire
The whole world stills to my desire
I close my eyes I float away
Just for a breath in the fading day
This solitude a gentle friend
As autumn days begin to bend
I breathe it in a whispered prayer
Floating lightly on the air
Oh the sky bleeds orange fire
The whole world stills to my desire
I close my eyes I float away
In this beautiful fading day
