you, the star in the night
that makes people’s smiles flow
like an endless river
the luminous glow in your face
something twinkles in your eyes
which spark like an arc lightning
someday, you will bloom into a tree
the pine tree searching for warmth
the grass that sways along the tempest
that collides with the frosty toes
overmorrow, you track the footprints
and see hundreds as if there’s a parade
a keeper in heart- you’ll always be
that’s why other stars shed their lights
just to give to your gracious presence
the sky weeps in the sound of your name
the hail pelts on the side of your cheek
a day will never be the same
it’s like passing of the wintry wind
after you glide in the tundric forests
where reindeers chortle
where snow touches your lips
in the dead of the winter
cold
frostbitten.
