As Autumn Falls

As autumn falls
a chill will chase the wind
Weak fragile leaves one by one descend
Black branches writhe
as the pale eye blinks behind
Reach out to me
silhouette, skeletal dream

A forest path unwinds
through grove, glade, and glen
I wander far beyond
Out of the corner of my eye
dryads whisper silence, sweetly beckoning
Onward still I drift
unafraid of eyes that shine in the night,
for I know that I'm not alone

As autumn falls
the haunting will begin
Candles burn cold
in jack-o-lanterns grin
Goblins and ghosts wander in trance, masquerade
All Hallows Eve
Shadowy, silver-lit dream

Fall down my love, in silence
