The Music of Paul N. Dion: Down the Frozen River to the Sea

Through clear bright skies and colorful days

The spent forest leaves they are blown

And when I hear melodious wind

It’s time for cold to charm

Say farewell to warmth when cold adorns

The river soon to stay

And of all the time I’ve had so far

I love the winter’s sharp play

When the skies turn to grey

All the light far away

When a cool visitor warns

The daylight will wane

And maybe the rain

Will cry feeling forlorn

 

As time slows down a shivering world

Subdued crystal views from the storm

And when you’ve heard that thundering gale

The river stands transformed

As the seasons change and turn around

The winter takes its toll

And when all the rhymes are laced with ice

Falls fast the season’s first snow

When the ground frozen hard

All the trees stand their ground

Then a cool voice to be heard

The river may still

But if a wind chills

The urge to hurry home

 

To call for that which winter may grant

Find peace quiet calm all your days

So when the time you spend is at last

The warmth will guide your way

From clear bright skies to cloudy array

The weary wind still how it blows

But when you hear melodious chimes

The frozen river won’t flow

Say farewell to warmth when cold adorns

The river soon to stay

And of all the time I’ve had so far

I love the winter’s sharp play

When the skies turn to grey

All the light is far away

When a cool visitor warns

The river will freeze

And visit the seas

From whence it all began
