NATURE SONG
CHIARA CIVELLO
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
