Autumn scattered leaves like letters No addresses specified. Glowing slow, it softly dampened, Life ascending to the sky.
Up in smoky blue of heavens Melting as in pure dream, Golden fall was soon to perish Leaving all its songs to me.
And my verse comes from these songs, Hence the joy and sadness of heart, And if world is so charming for most Let us pray it remains such for us.
Now that autumn descended thus On life’s long and heavy haul, My azure of sky starts to shine As a sign that it’s time soon to go.
Through this magic azure of sky Same as fall I am not fully gone, I won’t vanish for ever in time But will stay here with you in my verse.
