A river that flows
To a sea of autumn leaves
Among a ship and bow
Is where we share our grief
From lands far and near
They say we gather here
The day that heaven sighed
She got her wings that night
As though her touch could reach
Among the willowed trees
They sat together and listened
To her old life stories
Rivers flooded their eyes
As they walked away, in belief
That they said their last goodbye’s
To a sea of autumn leaves
