mystic purple flames
arise from the spirit’s stalks
chill my autumn heart                 Panchali's

For my  loved one from afar
Pining for love’s memories         Hank's

             *   *   *

mystic purple flames
arise from the spirit’s stalks
chill my autumn heart                  Panchali's

Chirpings above tells me
The lonely heart yonder hurts      Hank's
