when all is still

 

 

when all is still

and the wood is silent

i tie them

to the boughs and branches

bury them deep

beneath the frozen ground

drown them in deep black waters

just

waiting

for spring

to loose

the bonds

and set my dreams free 

 

 

roll

 

 

Have you ever felt like this?

 

don't shed a tear

 

 

don't shed a tear

as 

I pass by

clothed in rime and dew

rub your eyes

see the coming cold

and rejoice

don't shed a tear

 

 

the swan in the fog

 

the swan in the fog

ripples silently through autumn waters

past smoking chimneys

falling leaves

and

a muddied tow-path

 

an occlusion of leaves
