January Thaw

January Thaw
Fields of rolling fog
We wait for our sun
To cast her light on everyone
Stranger here am I

Watching for a smoke signal
Its cold up in these hills
Despite the glow of our telephones

Rooted here I sing
Songs that bare no audience
This tree fell alone
Resting with the stream and stone

Springtime find me here
Wading through my motherhood
Cast me your longest strongest line
Pull me into your sunshine

Children hold me close
Show me all your wilderness
When skies are grey
Your little light keeps me warm another day
Your little light keeps me warm another day

Prairies way out
My golden ancestry
Fields of laughter and tears
Flattened by the passing years
