Ash Tree

When we spoke about the tall gray ash tree
in front of my bedroom window,
you've asked me:
"Can you see the sky when there are leaves?"
Then you came when the tree
was adorned with thick green foliage
- and we could see the blue sky
from our hide-away in my tree-house.
Now again the tree is full of young leaves
and I see the sky, despite that you are not hiding with me…
Yet there is snow falling on the new leaves in May;
It is snowing in my heart as well.
Such a strange Spring we have this year...

Eterne
