I am singing a song by a Winnipeg musician, poet and songwriter, a lament for the lost roses of summer. Autumn is a season I always find hard to bear, and I love singing this song. You may find an older recording of this song (as well as many other songs) on Roldo's page at 'Reverbnation'. http://www.reverbnation.com/playlist/view_playlist/-4?page_object=artist_291873 And his YouTube channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/roldo23 ***** The dark scent of Autumn Is under the night breeze Summer is fading and barely begun. Winter, forgotten In soft haze bright gold time, Whispers again in the memory's maze. Dark are the visions, And somber the season, Cold as a warning And swift as a lie. Soft as a sense, And hard as reason, We're what we've become, And we're locked in our ways. Shadow's incisions Cuts light into pixels, Dimming the day, And drawing the night. Time should shift softly, Not change like a channel, But the dark scent of autumn is hiding the sun. ****
