Oslo, April

 

 

It’s unbelievable: two days ago

The town wore a perfect-fitting coat of snow;

Today there’s not a single flake in sight.

It’s a perfect April morning – mild and bright,

Reminding me of every lovely spring

Morning I’ve ever known.  I want to sing.

Life seems a simple and a pleasant thing

Without a hint of pain or tragedy.

I’m filled with hope and filled with memory,

And see beauty in everything I see.
