Broken Leaves

She walked down to the old oak tree  
Whispered secrets to the autumn breeze  
Broken leaves beneath her feet  
Her heart a tale it won't repeat  
Golden light from a setting sun  
Remembers days when love begun  
Echoes whisper in her ear  
Of loves that once were ever near  
Broken leaves  
The ground they cover  
Hide the path where hearts discover  
Lost in time  
Their colors fade  
Memories made in shadows' shade  
In the stillness of the evening light  
She finds a way to hold on tight  
To dreams that danced beneath the stars  
And moments lost in mason jars  
A gentle breeze through the willow weeps  
As twilight finds her soul and keeps  
Her stories safe in evening’s glow  
Where broken leaves and dreams do grow  
Broken leaves  
The ground they cover  
Hide the path where hearts discover  
Lost in time  
Their colors fade  
Memories made in shadows' shade
