Dane Earmarked-W
The year 2000 about to done with,
and only the Atlantic Ocean divides us.
Now around me the snow falls.
If I could see you in months,
I shall turn the months in snowballs.
All January will sever me,
A step more- February will brush,
March will bring you closer,
Spring will remind me of you,
May-wreaths will bind me,
and...Denmark not far away in June.
Oh, How would it be?
After such a long wait,
How would I greet thee?
But Alas!My boat was on a smooth sail in June
Undaunted to find the land
to sow the seeds,
but missed a little rain.
Unlike Columbus,
dolefully sailed back.
What was to turn to reality
became a distant dream.
That dream stays with me
altering the colour of emotions.
The love remains well,
The rest is unsavory.
Indeed misery outlives the joy
Denmark remains a distant dream.
