Anneke

I kept my promise today and went to see you by the cherry blossoms
Smelt the spring on the left over from winter wind
Saw the spring flowers blooming through the decay of last year
The eternal cycle.
You left in the misery of winter but it’s in the spring that I’ll think of you
I still hear you in crowds, catch glimpses of you in the market
Feel you in the laugh of a baby
I saw in you that which you never saw in yourself
The eternal cycle.
