White Tent The Raft

there's a red leaf that falls from a purple tree it falls it floats down one red leaf against a clear blue sky it floats down past the marbles in the clearing beneath the geese in flight to the darkening river in the autumn light where it touches down oh, like a great bird landing tears of autumn there's a white tent that sits in the middle of a raft that floats down floats down the middle of a river of a stream floating down and the tears streaming from the mind's eye streaming back beyond the white sheets that flap and fly oh, tears of wanting the white tent the raft the white tent the raft the white tent the raft
