Autumn breeze leaves gently sway
In the quiet woods the red flames stay
Time drifts by soft as sand
Like you red maple on autumns land
Walking old paths thoughts take flight
Through shadows cast in fading light
You burn so bright warm as before
In this lone season you bloom once more
Maple leaves paint the evening sky
Warming the dusk where memories lie
Youve never left youre waiting still
And as I walk my heart you fill
Lifes like leaves returning to dust
But oh red maple in you I trust
In cycles of time you quietly wait
Who holds your mark carved by fate
Walking old paths thoughts take flight
Through shadows cast in fading light
You burn so bright warm as before
In this lone season you bloom once more
Perhaps its not wind or rain you seek
But a memorys glow that will never grow weak
O red maple can you hear
My call resounds in autumns sphere
As the last leaf falls in the quiet air
I feel youre waiting still out there
In this season of embered grace
Love like autumns fire will never erase
