She stands on the shore of the ocean
And looks ahead at the world beyond the horizon
The music of waves–-piano notes
Somewhere behind her, the distant front of life
Wind, the prankster, plays with her hair
Hugs her beautiful face, whispers charms
The sun illuminates darkness with colors
Love swirls with energy in the dance
Autumn Girl–-sang the bird
Fly with me high above the clouds
With your wings set a trail in the sky
You are Nature's favorite
Poseidon peeks out from behind the waves
And although crowned
Her light makes his forehead bow
He silences the ocean, hides his trident
With a slight nod she thanks
Sends a smile with greetings
Emanates with a Queen's posture
The woman has power over dragons
Bearded Zeus from Olympus descends
His lightning bolts in a chest closed
It is the time when a new ruler is born
A woman’s love touches the heart
The old gods give up their throne
Their time is over, they pass into the past
To the Wise Woman they bow
Children of Freedom are descending to this world
Barefoot girl dances on the beach
Red skirt circles
She holds an orange in her hand
The abundance of the Universe surrounds her
The wind still plays in her copper hair
With gold leaves he adorned her
Apollo paints a picture of the girl
From light he made a crown for her
The girl looks at the sky with a smile
- Thank you for the journey and for the rainbow
All these storms are already laughter
An illusion of a dream, I miss nothing
Next to the woman a man stands
With a strong arm embraces her
Love's dance, Love gives them
A woman's wisdom, Freedom preserves
At the edge of the worlds, among the gods, stand
The Conscious She and the Conscious He
Nature’s Musicians beautifully play
The Autumn Girl gets the throne
