Emma

I sat down to compose
A tragic poem
Sank myself into the tracks
Extinguished the embers of my heart
Then suddenly your smile
And your tender eyes appeared
And melted my soul

You let the world glow
And light up the empty spaces of the heart
Words that before hurt
Are now whines and hollow sounds
Nothing bothers me anymore
Misery flown away
For you are with us

Why cry for lost tracks and a covered path
The white snow will silence our sorrowful sounds

Whatever your life encounters
Wherever the straws bend
Never an ugly end
My dear emma will you see
For everything that was torn apart
Can be mended in time
We can work it out
