My Winter Ensemble (original 10/3/06)

If the winter grew any deeper

or the snow whiter

There I would find

my perfect ensemble

For Old Winter sings

Of times long forgotten

And Lady Snow whispers

of the land she buried

This tune echoes on

within my ears.

The rhythm kept

by the nod of the forest

The melody chimed

by the wind and icicle

Here I sit

I feel my heart will burst

if I do not join in

So I close my lips,

open my heart,

and sing, sing, sing

for all I am worth.
