how much have I waited
for your return
oh Spring
the colors myriad
floating in my canvas
as I brush against the clouds
blue and white
and the sun shining bright
red, orange and yellowish hues
oh, what joy
the birds know too
that everything is perfectly alright
alas, only if this wasn't a dream
drenched in fear, the lost promises scream
strangled in darkness, I hunt for the light
and then I promise, I'll never give up without a fight
