The Door Of Winter's Night
Leaves are drifting softly,
floating on the wind;
with a flutter and a sigh,
Mother takes them in.
Through pardon of captivity,
from bonds that hold them tight,
leaves sing the song of color
to the door of Winter/'/s night.
When bastions rising from the earth
let loose their cloak of gold,
the seeds of life that sprang from death
are protected by their fold.
Through frozen season pure
living still the slow pulsed life,
the tender seeds of yesterday
battle Winter/'/s strife.
Yet with the brethren of themselves
protecting, holding safe,
the piercing cold cannot be sown
into the living breathing space.
With the elixir of the warming sun
comes the kiss of Her rebirth;
life, death, renewal,
such is the way of Mother Earth.
