Autumn Creek Running Clear

Описание: Autumn Creek Running Clear

Leaves coming down like copper rain
Boot soles crunching slow
Morning’s got that brittle edge
Only October knows
Water sliding over stone
Clean as honest glass
Every thought I carried in
Settles, then drifts past

Summer said what it had to
Winter’s still out of sight
This is the in-between moment
Where everything feels right

Autumn creek running clear
Cold enough to wake you up
Every shadow sharp and true
Every color dialed down just enough
No rush left in the year
No weight I need to bear
I’m learning how to let things go
Like an autumn creek running clear

Alder bent along the bank
Barely holding on
Sun breaks through in broken lines
Then it’s moving on
Every cast feels measured now
No reason to pretend
Some days you fish for answers
Some days you just wade in

Funny how the water shows you
What you missed before
When it’s stripped of all the noise
And nothing hides anymore

Autumn creek running clear
Every seam laid out in plain sight
All the mess I stirred up lately
Finally settles right
I don’t fight the pull downstream
I just stand and stare
At an honest piece of moving truth
Autumn creek running clear

There’s a lesson in this season
If you’re willing to slow
You don’t have to force the current
You just have to know
When to step in careful
When to step aside
Some things fix themselves
If you quit muddying the tide

Autumn creek running clear
Cutting through the cold and brown
All the things I thought I needed
Feel smaller standing now
I don’t curse the shorter days
Or the thinning air
There’s a quiet kind of freedom
In an autumn creek running clear

Soon enough the frost will take it
Lock it down in white
But I’ll remember how it looked
In this honest light
When the world stripped back its colors
And showed me what was there
Just time moving forward
Like an autumn creek running clear
