Beauty subdued,

A river's dimmed hue

The sun peeking out,

Half-swallowed by the sea.



Leaves picked up

By subtle, yet chilly winds

A realm of muted color,

Paradise, just duller.




Damp benches on which to sit,

Streetlights only half-lit

Peaceful melancholy

Hanging in the air.



With gentle footsteps, they walk,

With tranquil voices, they talk

Bouquets of faded color

In hands of pale complexion.




No-one dreams too far,

No-one dares to take a risk

Plain hats, plain dresses,

Plain lives.
