the grip of winter loosens...the earth awakens...in Canada...a scene unfolds... dry leaves scatter across the ground...revealing hidden seeds...blue jays call...a hopeful sound...life emerges from winter's shroud... a cairn of stones...a solemn spire...shaped by elements... fueled by time...each weathered rock...a story of ancient journeys... balanced with patient grace...it reaches skyward...stark and cold...a silent guardian of ages...crows take flight... their black wings carrying them across the sky...mourning doves search for sustenance...their gentle coos filling the air... a rabbit leaps through the grass...a timid creature with secrets...overhead...clouds weep...and nature's rhythm unfolds... a child's soft gaze rests upon the scene...framed by crystal facets...she rides a rain-laden cloud...bathed in the ethereal light of the sun... sunbeams dance...sparks of lightning illuminate the air...a timeless moment...where nature's magic is revealed... the stones stand tall against the sky...a balance between the old and the stories yet to be told...in the heart of Canada... this vision unfolds...a promise of life renewed...banishing fear...the ballad speaks of spring's sweet promise...ever near...
