When Leaves Fall in Autumn

Down, down, down, one by one, the leaves fall down,
Everything is stripped apart, brown with frown.

Walking on the sideway thinking of Fall,
When beauty untainted walked fair with God,
Till folly chokes her to the depths writes Paul,
And now we thread aimlessly as we plod.

Down, down, down, one by one, the leaves fall down,
Everything is stripped apart, none with crown.

Falling into the nothingness, I pray,
When the cold chill slowly creeps in and drags
The leaves down, do we not too go astray?
Down on the ground, we're nothing but soiled rags.

Down, down, down, one by one, the leaves fall down,
Nothing is left, all is waiting to drown.

Nothing more than the warmth of an embrace
I long as I stared at the falling leaves,
Asking, seeking for any sign of grace,
Can there be such a man our grief relieves?
