A.P. Harbor - Perspective of a Winter Leaf

Lingering on a brittle branch, I can see
The children in the hollow groves of frost at ease
Thistles buried to their necks in a frozen sea
Strawberries blooming on eager cheeks

From high above, the wooded winter far below
Beckons me with silk and song and falling snow
With the wind's caress, I sail away from all I know
Many moons have passed since I have left my home

Wanderers, in early light, have passed me by
I find my place these chilly days by their side
Lost in winter wild

My brothers and my sisters falling from the trees
Waltzing in the wind as they fall to sleep
The crunching of our stillness just beneath their toes
So much beauty in our resting souls

Wanderers, in early light, have passed me by
I find my place these chilly days by their side
Lost in winter wild

The days have grown soft and still and shorter now
With the dwindling of the breeze that shook us from the bough
I will join them soon upon the weary earth
But my oh my what a journey that it was

Wanderers, in early light, have passed me by
I find my place these chilly days by their side
Lost in winter wild
Lost in winter wild
Lost in winter wild
Lost in winter wild
Lost in winter wild
