Crow In a Frozen Tree
There is a crow amongst an old bare tree
Bereft of cold wind that blows in winter
This ancient tree, so bare and surely free
The bird is careful not to catch a splinter
Softly sitting on the limb of the tree
Bereft of cold wind that blows in winter
Unlike the outside frigid cold we see
By our deep breaths, unlike the bird crowing
Softly sitting on the limb of the tree
The bird looks like he’s dead, but I’m knowing
He lives to breathe the bitter cold as me
By our deep breaths, unlike the bird crowing
I view the tree thinking that it could be
A lot warmer place for the happy bird
He lives to breathe the bitter cold as me
This bird in a dormant tree looks absurd
There is a crow amongst an old bare tree
A lot warmer place for the happy bird
This ancient tree, so bare and surely free
