- Swans Or Snowflakes -

Soft and sensitive they fall

    Is it beautiful white swans

    with fluffy white feathers light

    Tickles on the nose

    A moment poignant and beautiful

    that it is impossible to remain unmoved

    The whole sky full

    Millions of snowflakes

    they fall softly no sound

    Silence ... hold your breath

    They melt in my hands

    So similar, but so different

    It falls millions of snowflakes

    and the earth is colored white
