Nature Song
When the leaves began to fall
I heard
nature's lonesome cry of wisdom
all the birds had flown away
while I stayed
and watched alone the sky turn gray
but then winter came on a cloudy night
with the saddest smile in a bag of ice
told me 'don't be afraid of the lonely times'
then winter came on a cloudy night
in a moonlight dance with a starless sky
told me 'come dance with me,
you'll keep warm and wise'
and then, on a sunny april day
spring came by
with sparkling trees and green leaves
and all the birds came back to sing
the sweetest melodies, delivered by the breeze...
...to my ears
