There's stillness in the evening's mellow sky
as wonder fills me with a quiet glow
it permeates my soul with each new sigh
like Juliet awaiting Romeo.

Across the meadow on a gentle breeze
the lingering fall leaves float gently down
without a sound they cover boundaries
and change the whole complexion of our town.

But as the still night settles on the land
and ghostly shadows creep into my mind
the far-off sounds of day become like sand
and tell my earthly worries to unwind.

Tonight I'll pray for those who cannot see
the beauty that is ours eternally.
