Sweet Remembrance of Christmas
The gold house, silence
The silver snow, piling steadily where you
Last left your footprints
Before you went
I dreamt
Life in its past form, all those years ago
When we were young
When we had troubles to face with the wind and its harsh chase
you stepped into the cold
without a word
waved goodbye
smiling like an angel of the North Star
Now, surrounded by others
their laughter, the gentle flame that washes away the shadows
the sadness, the uncertainty.
Christmas is never the same
But I can see all the ones before
I hear the children's joy,
the stories shared once more
Another year has passed
Let us be together
Let us embrace the warmth
Let us live this dream.
