Tonight we'll float down the street

With moonlit shadows the shape of trees

The ground built of leaves now shatters

I guess then nothing matters

Tonight we'll float deeper in

So far underneath the light doesn't reach us

Where our thoughts scatter

With rain's soft pitter patter

Angel in the leaves

Late september

You don't remember

Paddling through the reeds

To an island somewhere

Might be nowhere

We trace these leaves to a tree

That takes root in our veins

It calls out for me

I fear to learn

that it's all in vain
