People of Tumbling Leaves


Listen to the silence

The forest is calling your name

I’ve heard the trees before

Their searching for you today

The willow in its quiet whisper

The raspy words of the oak

Cherry blossoms humming

Their sweet little melody

As the pine shivers and smiles

As the branches catch the breeze

They’re wise, these people

These people of shattered bark

These people of tumbling leaves

They’ve seen so much

Against so much time

More than you and me

Listen, sisters, brothers, fathers

 Sing, sing

The people of tumbling leaves
