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
