Last Fall’s Fire

 

Remember when our love

Was burning so bright,

As we sat on the old hammock

Before the fire

On that cool fall night?

 

Remember what you said

As we watched the logs burn -

That our love would

Last forever?

Now I wait your return

 

As fog settles its damp

Over the memories of that night.

The hammock sways in the wind,

And the winter puts to sleep

All dreams of the light.
