Lyric

Petals cling then let go slow

Like thoughts you almost know

Afternoon dims behind the eyes

A quiet pull no need to try

What fades leaves a warmer line

Softly drawn across the mind

Every fall a tender sign

Something stays by not staying

Let the moment thin

Let the edges soften

Stay with what fades

Pink dust gathers near the curb

Light repeats without a word

Steps echo half a thought

The moment bends but does not stop

What fades leaves a warmer line

Softly drawn across the mind

Every fall a tender sign

Something stays by not staying

Hold the afterimage

Let the trace remain

Breathe before it goes

In drifting white a promise thins

Not broken just unfinished

The street remembers less than we do

Yet leaves us marked in bloom
