Autumn Sunshine

Autumn sunshine 

With you

Something special

Something new 

Warmth instead of cold 

Feeling young and not too old 

The touch of gold 

And a sea so blue 

Now I feel 

That longed for peace

No more dead wet leaves 

No more deja vu

Smiling at the people I meet. 

The trash in the lake 

The insults they threw 

Memories fading

Fake friendships too . 

I am here 

What lies between 

Is a promise made

And an ocean of dreams.  

Each day 

I'm with you 

The more real it seems 

And closer to 

touching 

The beauty I've seen.
