Ice Skating
Listen softly,
Friend,
Listen softly,
Teacher,
Listen softly,
Mother, Family,
Loves.
Listen softly, and you’ll
Hear timber blossoms
Blowing….
Through my hair.
Look deep
And you will see
Me…skating…..
On the clean,
Crystalness of ice.
Sailing, Soaring,
With delicate
Snowflakes,
Glistening on my lips.
Feel closely
To my freedom---
Taste sourly my little tears
As you find
Yourself,
Remembering me.
Listen…
Mother, Family
Loves, and
Friend.
Listen to me,
Dancing.
Feel me burning
With happiness,
Know the sweetness,
Of my Mountain’s Dew.
Watch closely,
For my out stretched hand,
Protecting you,
As you skate,
On the thin, thin,
ICE.
Glide with me,
As we go through,
Remembrance,
So fast,
We learned…
How to fly.
I love you
And exult
In the magic,
Of our past histories,
Watching over,
You.
Always.
As I flow,
With the angels---
On my icy, beautiful,
Pond. Listen closely---
Feel gently,
Skate wonderfully.
Now hush…
Listen to the beauty,
Listen.
And you will see
Listen closely,
Feel tenderly,
Skate marvelously
And there I shall
Be…
