Premonition

 

I recognized you when snow was melting
melting, and a soft wind blowing
closeness of spring intoxicating my soul
intoxicating, so I cravingly inhale the air

With gentleness I watched your footsteps trace
trace on white snow
and I knew that you would be dear to me
dear throughout my life

I recognized you on a reverberant day
a drunk, fresh and soft day
I had a feeling I’d always known you
known though I just recognized you

With gentleness I watched your footsteps trace
trace on white snow
and I knew that you would be dear to me
dear throughout my life

I recognized you when ice was melting
ice, when spring breath is melting when
day is one moment rosy, one moment wistful
pale, when happiness and sadness collide

With gentleness I watched your footsteps trace
trace on white snow
and I knew that you would be dear to me
dear throughout my life
