Dance on Autumn Breeze
Hear the gentle Autumn breeze
Inviting you to share
The cornucopia of colors
Floating through the air
Pick up your faithful lantern
Bring a favorite cloak
Gather near the shady wood
By maple, birch, and oak
We’ll dance upon the arms of Njord
And sail where dragon flies
We’ll revel in sweet music
That soars through amber skies
Pray upon the evening sun
Swim amongst the fae
Join a troupe on nature’s stage
And craft a sacred play
See the stunning, golden views
Observe the cyclic power
That visits the deciduous
Upon this wondrous hour
Now’s a time to celebrate
When Greenman takes his rest
The harvest has been copious
Our spirits have been blessed
Sit back, relax, and ride the wind
Join the festival of leaves
See the world through nature’s heart
And all that she perceives
