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�
