A Little Bleak Town 5.0

Описание: ↓ Lyrics below ↓ I forgot about this one until I was looking through my history filtered by [Likes]... I had this ready to go, poised to upload it, then for some reason didn't hit the trigger. The most likely story is that I went to do the same with my other poems... then got sidetracked... then got sidetracked again... then work, and ambitions, and etc. etc. ... BAM. FORGOT.

Skip's (Skip Mar Vellous, 2nd edition Red Mage - Bard, in D&D from when I was younger) rival has sort of come to be on her own... I don't even have a name for her save for "Bluey" -- just the opposite of Skip - female, blue, ice magic vs fire magic - but a student at his Academy . . . . . . . . perfect singer for this one.

Anyway, I still love this iteration . . . enjoy!

Lyrics:
A dusting of light snow across the landscape
Catches my eye with its bleak smile
How can so few dark colours
(few dark colours)
Shine with such beauty?
(such beauty)

The trees in the back forest
Are slumped over from the wet weight
And the normally clear looking water
Shows its true tea colour
As it passes over the pure white ice
Hiding just under the surface
(... the surface)

Footprints of wildlife
Are like pieces of art
With the snow as their canvas

Even the gray sky
Is radiant with its palette of swirls
And how rude it is
When a spot of blue
Gets mixed in as well

The quiet rumble of the creek
Along with the drips from the icicles
Creates the perfect symphony
In which to accompany such dark beauty

Beauty
