Autumn Lyrics - SH Nasr - Songs Of The Way
From the moment we into this world are born
Our journey begins to the Origin from which we came
Our life is a readying for that Return
Return to whence it all began
Nature's ever recurrent rhythms this truth reveal
And remind us through the birth and death
Spring and Autumn of vegetal life
Of that great cycle of our own earthly existence
Whose Omega is the Return to the Alpha, the All
With the Autumn breeze the tree colors turn
Forests become a rainbow of shimmering hues
Yellows and purples and reds vie with the greens
In a geometry sublime, intricate beyond our ken
To create a symphony of forms of endless beauty
Nature dresses in her most noble garb
To be worthy of being present before the Majestic King
To whom all things do return
And return it does as its colors diminish
As hues fade away into a subtle colorlessness
Which yet all colors contains, a death which is also new life
The gnostic lives in this world of change
Aware constantly of the Return
The Return which the origin of true life is
He sees in Autumn's majesty, that Return for which he yearns
Which for him is the Spring of heavenly life
If Spring be the origin of life below
Autumn is the Spring of eternal life
That life for the Return to which the gnostic lives here on earth
And so for him Autumn is the Spring of life divine
Heralding the Return to that life that never ends
Our journey begins to the Origin from which we came
Our life is a readying for that Return
Return to whence it all began
Nature's ever recurrent rhythms this truth reveal
And remind us through the birth and death
Spring and Autumn of vegetal life
Of that great cycle of our own earthly existence
Whose Omega is the Return to the Alpha, the All
With the Autumn breeze the tree colors turn
Forests become a rainbow of shimmering hues
Yellows and purples and reds vie with the greens
In a geometry sublime, intricate beyond our ken
To create a symphony of forms of endless beauty
Nature dresses in her most noble garb
To be worthy of being present before the Majestic King
To whom all things do return
And return it does as its colors diminish
As hues fade away into a subtle colorlessness
Which yet all colors contains, a death which is also new life
The gnostic lives in this world of change
Aware constantly of the Return
The Return which the origin of true life is
He sees in Autumn's majesty, that Return for which he yearns
Which for him is the Spring of heavenly life
If Spring be the origin of life below
Autumn is the Spring of eternal life
That life for the Return to which the gnostic lives here on earth
And so for him Autumn is the Spring of life divine
Heralding the Return to that life that never ends
