Free at last

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

As I have closed this chapter
I've likewise looked ahead
But unlike many others
I did not refuse to read
A tale as sweet, from dreams conjured,
as sweet as autumn's dying leaves
in the morning's gentle breeze
I awake from worlds within
that few will ever see at night
But there's no river to cross twice
No journey that could take me back
In their solemn gracious beauty
the pageants who have done too well
now leave their kingdom, leaves will fall
and in the morning's gentle breeze
float, descend and tumble
each on their own, each one of all
replace the starlight, none comes back
They tell a tale of faded dreams,
somewhere in my book
flutter through the hands of fate
untied by their sacrifice
fly beyond the last frontiers
to die now that they're
free at last.
