I hear it
through the whispering pines-
winter's song

    Bittersweet Memory

    A young man in a woolen coat of red,
    Snowshoes, walking stick, and pulling a sled
    Across the deep snow to mountain range
    Here in the city I seem mighty strange.

    I’m living in the city to make my mark
    And the fullness of nature seems so dark
    And how far away I begin to feel
    Bittersweet memory my soul must heal.

    I can see forest of mountains and streams
    Looking back into the freshness of dreams
    A life with nature, animals, and birds
    All given up for money, deeds, and words.

    Inspiration seen in a frozen land
    Is having a small bird eat from your hand
    Inspiration that last without a cost
    Bittersweet memory never be lost.
