Return of Song

not soon enough song will return to tree tall grasses and blossom shrubs but what if they don't what if this is the year that there is no singing no talking grasses no choir amidst petal will we forget their songs in short time like we've forgotten how a smile tangos with the eyes but the songs will return they must... surely these frosty masks will be shed like snake skin... yes the songs will return but with different crooners in time everything will return masks will be shed and the young will be spoon fed our sad stories of death
