In winter's crisp cold and elongated dark,
Holding to hope that spring takes a breath,
and blows away the loneliness that created death,

Blood red I shine through the wakening sun,
still holding strong I prove i'm not done,
Refusing to part and submit to the floor,
Seeing ahead I can live for much more,

I braced last winter to the ecstasy of you,
A friend by my side together we grew,
But a storm ripped us apart and cast you away,
beside a dying leaf where i watch you decay,

But for spring I hold on to the hope of new growth,
I swore on my life and won't break my oath,
I struggled but learned and now pray for the chance,
That you might grow back and we last in romance.

The Last Winter Leaf

I'm that final leaf still gripping the bark,
In winter's crisp cold and elongated dark,
Holding to hope that spring takes a breath,
and blows away the loneliness that created death,

Blood red I shine through the wakening sun,
still holding strong I prove i'm not done,
Refusing to part and submit to the floor,
Seeing ahead I can live for much more,

I braced last winter to the ecstasy of you,
A friend by my side together we grew,
But a storm ripped us apart and cast you away,
beside a dying leaf where i watch you decay,

But for spring I hold on to the hope of new growth,
I swore on my life and won't break my oath,
I struggled but learned and now pray for the chance,
That you might grow back and we last in romance.
