Oak and aspen

For all this time I have been searching
For white, when skies are grey
All of the loss to time and soul
The sun put out my pain

As autumn leaves keep on dancing
And pay no heed to me
I journey through these wild rantings
It’s all that I have left

I come across a quiet river
That wanders through the trees
I stare into its running waters
And fall on to my knees

In resignation to the forest
That’s held me for so long
I close my eyes and drift away
Into nature’s air and song
