Autumn

A New Dawn

There's so much light with this new dawn.
Bound to this new found life
And shining lights
Falling deep into endless bliss.
Clara, can you help me make this bloom?
I no longer feel so bold.

I see her pacing in our dorm
Flora you need to let this bloom.
I hope you won't fall short of a kiss,
And shine in the warm sparks of light.
Stay strong and you'll be a great wife
There will always be too much but too little time.

Clara have you felt this same thing,
A warmth your heart only grew?
Life is in full bloom but am I?
Yes, for I now know who I am
Yet everything feels dramatic
I can feel the weight of this gold ring.

She no longer feels as bold
Flora, my sweet friend
Your courage? Has it faded?
Did it find itself some new wonders?
This is all just magic
Showing you the way towards the bright dawn.

Why is there always too much yet too little time?
Ringing sounds in the fields, and in the mind
Am I hearing the chiming bells?
How long have they chimed?
How long has it been dawn?
Clara, didn't I find you pacing this dorm?

Flora, heed that golden ring.
Don't let that bravery fail you now
I didn't come here to watch you fall.
Having been where you are
You need to brave that new light
And your groom, I'm sure, feels the exact same thing.
