Once again
the secret of autumn
and the scent of damp earth
riding restless winds
arrives from afar
The tale of the rain of leaves
and the golden storm of fall
that pours amber shades of sorrow
upon the city’s grief
with the rustle of memories
scribbling hastily
on the cobbled streets
Once again
the secret of autumn
and my clouded heart
longing to soar
in the skies of your stories
to quench the garden's thirst
with the clarity of your gaze
and with crystal fingers of rain
erase the earth’s yearning
Once again
the secret of autumn
and the empty spaces of buds
that braved the cruel cold of time
witnessing the fall they did not believe
dreaming of spring
painted on the white wings of doves
Once again
the secret of autumn
and my passionate heart
that cannot rest in the breeze of your voice
and in the fiery whisper of desire
it embraces the colours of life
Autumn returns once again
