Snowdancing
Possesses my soul.
I am slipping
On the snow.
My blue heart
Is white with horror.
My sweet dream`s
A dream of sorrow.
I wish
I were not an owl -
Keen and strong
Until the dawn.
My fear
Will disappear
When I know
That the night is near.
But I`m shot
By a fatal arrow,
A sniggering gnome`s
Caught in the snow.
He`s sneering me down,
His mind snow-bound,
He is my lot,
A snake in the snow.
His smouldering soul`s
Smothering my hope.
Smiting me with horror
He`s getting in my road.
But still snowdancing
Is everywhere around.
The snow`s falling down,
It`s touching the ground.
It reigns in the world,
It`s whirling about.
It`s reinless like a wild horse,
It`s soft as down.
It says:
"I`m so close,
But you cannot see me,
You hear my coming
While your body`s dreaming..."
