A Thief Came

A thief came in the quiet night Robbing beauty from the trees Packing away all their leaves Only thing left was mistletoe Blowing green in morning breeze

I lke the metaphor of winter as a thief. You should lwengthen this out and perhaps add a refrain as you are on to a really good idea here. Happy New Year from Gerard.

the mistletoe is like collagen....a fake youthful green.

Smile, the parasite all that is left of the beauty that once was, Sara. Sometimes I equate the old frailling flesh body to a parasite Sara. It will be replaced with the everlasting one from heaven. Agape, Moses
