Painted Snow

In the flowing of the waters

And in the melted valleys of time

I see painted ice as a testimony

With many thoughts that speak upon my mind.

In such a way is my memory

Of kind help across many years

From the early days of childhood

Up until the present hour.

Reflecting on the blooming waters

Of bright red forests in the worlds between the ocean

That stand in painted snow

With the icy stars upon the rain.

A friend and a brother

Has been a lamp for many years

Like the light of the sun

In the voices of early winter.

The Sun of the Seashore

The Young Hearts of Christmas Time
