Fell

You held my head up, always free
And eyes of fire alight with love
Held forth the truth in fall, for me.

The leaves burst red light heavenly,
Which filtered through the boughs above.
You held my head up, always free.

Embraced in essence of the sea,
The tenderness like waves, though rough,
Held forth the truth in fall, for me.

My wings awake to hues like these
And cold, clear air is life enough:
You held my head up, always free.

In fall, like this, my devotee,
While night fell round us like a glove,
Held forth the truth in fall, for me.

I fell to kisses, night, and thee:
Nor shall I lose what we're made of.
You held my head up, always free;
Held forth the truth in fall, for me.
