I saw the violet turn to night
|
I saw the water turn to ice
|
A thousand snowflakes hovered ¡®round me
|
The world aglow
|
|
I heard a distant songbird singing
|
A song the words i used to know
|
And as the melody went ringing
|
I felt my bones on the rocks below
|
The weighted trees of my only home
|
|
With brother sleeping right beside me
|
The blankets pulled up to his chin
|
The makeshift snow cave settled slightly
|
But held us in and sheltered us
|
Like mom and dad, they always helped us
|
