The winter’s frozen calmness delivers an echo of silence
And brings with it an absence of conflict or violence
In this deaf wilderness, the trees seem frozen in death
Only the wind gently whispers a lively breath

In a quiet place where the sun and peace are found
The silence is shattered by a pesky sound
They gobble and cackle and yelp and bawl
They all congregate here from spring until fall

As the southern sun gets hotter and shines so bright
All get ready to take their flight
Honking and chirping wherever they roam
Together they make their way back home

In a very short time, all will see
Flying above us, a big giant V
Winter's slumber so peaceful and mild
Will be awakened by the call of the wild

Mother Nature will have spoken
In the wilderness, all will be woken
And by the same token
Winter’s silence will again be broken
