AUTUMN'S ECHO

Autumn's Echo

Autumn breathes in whispers,

Leaves tumble like forgotten dreams.

I recall your fleeting touch,

Your laughter, a song on the wind’s soft streams.

There’s an ache within my soul,

A hollow I carry, wherever I roam,

Like a keepsake of shadows,

It follows me down every path I’ve known.

There’s a yearning, quiet and vast,

A blend of sorrow, a trace of past,

There’s an ache within my soul,

Shaped by the ghost of you.

Time drifts like a river,

Generations rise and fade away.

Life’s carousel spins on,

While I stand still, in yesterday.

There’s an ache within my soul,

A hollow I carry, wherever I roam,

Like a keepsake of shadows,

It follows me down every path I’ve known.

There’s a yearning, quiet and vast,

A blend of sorrow, a trace of past,

There’s an ache within my soul,

Shaped by the ghost of you.

Yet through this void, a light seeps in,

A smile breaks upon my face,

For like a crack in the heavens,

Your love still finds its place.

So I hold this ache wherever I go,

Like a lantern through the night’s dark flow.

There’s a yearning, quiet and vast,

A blend of sorrow, a trace of past,

There’s an ache within my soul,

But it’s carved by you.
