Pretend you are Forever

A warm wind blows
Dark autumn night
Not yet, she whispers
But soon I shall teach you
Of cold
With leaves that fall
Like widower’s years
And rot shall take you
Worms push through
Even the eyes of emperors
Who thought to rule the world
Let time turn, turn the earth
And in soil once more rebirth
The dreams of men
To rise anew
Have their moment of sun
And return to earth
But for now enjoy
The warm night’s wind
And pretend you are forever
