Most of all...

The Shadows of Time
Are with me today
The October sun
Doesn't chase them away
In tandem they stretch
With the lengthening nights
The warm autumn day
So short and so bright
Reminds me that life
In tandem with time
Seems to quicken and
Memories stand in a line
Of another bright day
When I stood in the sun
And the shadow of loss
Seemed to darken the sun

...because you're you.
