Xmas is heavily approaching…
With sounds of birds chirping and crying—

The mild mists of a turbulent year
Pronouncing breaths of shivering flocks
Deepening their call for an escape
Relieving their need to disappear
Echoing cries for reunion
All but for…and yet over again

Xmas is heavily approaching…
With flutter of birds loudly singing—

The howling winds of sizzling skies
Announcing tremors of flopping wings
Seasoning their paths for a drive way
Receiving their comfort to revive
Bellowing their grudge for surrender
All but for…and yet over again

Xmas is heavily approaching…
With colors of birds painting the air

The daunting leaves of miserable trees
Denouncing footprints of crawling beasts
Threatening woos of tiresome deer
Following a long-lost sacred path
Believing their quest for shelter
All but for…and yet over again
