Valentine Card To An Old Widow
This is probably not the best day,
you have ever had.
Maybe this is the day your husband died,
your childrens dad.
This is probably a heavy day for you,
so many pink cards.
Delivered in beautiful heart shaped baskets,
in young girls backyards.
I however, thought of you.
and gave you this note,
I hope you can be happy,
and warm feeling's not for you remote.
If you dwell in memories,
of valentines days in the past.
I am sure in our heart,
warmth will appear at last.
In the deepest winter night,
under dancing northern light,
A sámi boy from Karasjok,
kneeling down beside a rock.
In the misty black of night,
under dancing northern light,
The boy is joiking silently,
the rock is listening carefully.
In the coldest winter night,
under dancing northern light.
the rock feels lifted from the ground,
by the magic joiking sound.
In the deepest winter night,
under dancing northern light;
the boy is joiking the soul of a stone,
not to feel so alone.
Outside my window the snow is white,
a winter mist I see so bright.
I hear through chrystals snow on snow,
a distant engine of a plow.
The chrystals falling from the sky,
in a way which I can't tell you why
On the ground there is heavy snow
the plow is getting nearer now
The window stitcks just like a stamp
against my fingers, cold and damp.
I see the sight of untouched snow,
I see the fountain of the plow.
The plow went by ten minutes ago
back is now a usable road
I hear through chrystals, snow on snow;
the distant engine of the plow
There once was a cat from Doolish bay
Who wandered down the streets of clay.
Until he was complete astray
And had to ask you for the way.
"I have to go to Doolish bay"
"Then turn and walk the streets of clay."
Now the cat was not astray
and went back home to Doolish bay.
