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
