In the hush of the evening, where the shadows tease,
Beneath the whispering boughs of the ancient trees,
I wander through the forests where the echoes play,
With the rustle of the leaves, all my worries stray.
A hollow bark beside me, scars of tales untold,
Cradles every secret, memories of old,
A lantern flame flickers, casting warmth on the ground,
As the velvet dusk gathers, all my hopes, they surround.
The creek winds softly, like a silver thread,
Through the heart of the woodland, where the brave dare tread,
By the shadowed stream, all the dreams I've sown,
In the gentle embrace, I have finally known.
The night wraps close, like a lover's sigh,
With a promise of dawn, where the light will fly,
But in this fleeting moment, with the stars above,
I find my heart is anchored; here is where I love.
So let the autumn veil fall, let the fires ignite,
Let the stories of the past weave through this night,
For every whispered secret, every gentle rill,
Fills my soul with a magic that lingers still.
As the heavens transition from dusk to first light,
I’ll carry these moments, forever in sight,
With the world at my feet and a song in my heart,
In the warmth of this magic, how could we drift apart?
