Arctic Flower

...under the ice

in the dark and cold night

under the moon

in the dying sunlight...

you're born here

but you die here every year

just to defy

the cold winter

You are an arctic flower

so fragile, yet so strong

In the northern realm

you fight for your life

And as the seasons pass by

you live and die

Soon will your time come

We'll watch your bloom

As the winter frost is gone

You are born again

Bring the joy to us

to the land of despair

The sun rises,

the snow begins to melt

and soon we forget

the time of the twilight

This is the springtime

Flower, this is your time

Rise from beyond the ice

and give us delight

And so the spring came

you rejoiced among the others

For a little while

the sorrow was lifted away

For a little while

life rejoiced again

Inside the human mind

the thoughts were warm

For a little while

was love abloom

I almost thought that the grief

was gone forever

...the first snow...

...your death...

...icy grave...

Sweet memories

of the spring gone

come back to my mind

as I watch you wither

How could I survive without you,

you arctic beauty?

Farewell sweet flower

remember to be strong

or on the next spring

I fear my sorrow won't go

And as the snow melts again

I am waiting for you!
