january spring

with just a view of trees and birds and light
we can construct the frame of paradise
that will withstand even the longest night

we must make sure that we can do things right
the limits of mortality we will despise
with just a view of trees and birds and light

we know right here and now the bright
days of this mild winter are not mere lies
that will withstand even the longest night

the sunshine on the wall seems to requite
the pain and suffering that upset our eyes
with just a view of trees and birds and light

defiant leaves with fresh colour will ignite
winter it seems has donned a new disguise
that will withstand even the longest night

in this mild weather we all take delight
nature we know has given us a prize
with just a view of trees and birds and light
that will withstand even the longest night
