Beginnings
What of the wind that rustled the rye
 In fields somewhere, summers ago?
 What of the blue that once swirled in the sky
 And the blossoms the warm rain would grow?
 
 Have our hearts been so frozen through all of these winters
 That good seeds we no longer sew?
 Has the knowledge we crave led us so far astray
 That the more we search the less we know?
 
 I remember the springtime, the dewdrops like diamonds
 Reflecting the fields million fold
 And when afternoon came, we would dance in the rain
 And speak not of our pride, but our soul
 
 I remember the fall, every evening bird's call
 That rang out as the night would grow colder
 But of age and of time I know nothing at all
 For though years have passed, I feel no older
 
 And the leaves grow and die and are born once again
 Just as all surely does in this dance--
 So we begin to end, and we end to begin
 And with each morn is born a new chance.
