solitude

it was a mellow autumn sunset,
there was not a cloud in the sky,
the first leaves had only just begun to fall,
a fair breeze was blowing,blowing from the east
and the sun's fading rays were warming the world..
there was not a soul to be seen,
and even though i strained my ears nor was there a voice to be heard,
there was only silence,
enchanted silence..
slowly the colours changed,
changed from blood red to enigmatic blue,
mellow dusk gave way to sombre night,
i stood alone,
alone in the autumn twilight,
and i dreamed,
i dreamed of you..
