From the recording FIVE - THE FIFTH SEASON
The poem captures winter as a season of memory and longing, where snow and silence become mirrors of love that has passed but still lingers in the heart. Each flake and ember recalls moments once shared, while frosted windows reflect not just the cold outside but the warmth of remembered smiles. Though time has taken away presence, it cannot erase intimacy—winter becomes both a keeper of absence and a guardian of love’s echo. The verses suggest that even in the darkest, coldest season, the heart preserves warmth, carrying nostalgia like a quiet fire against the vast hush of snow.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Snow drifts across the silent lane,
Each flake a memory, soft with pain.
The world is hushed, the trees grown bare,
Yet still I see your shadow there.
VERSE 2
The fire remembers how we dreamed,
Its embers glow where laughter gleamed.
The window frosts, yet in its glass
Your smile returns, a ghost that lasts.
VERSE 3
The night is long, the stars are far,
But love still glimmers where you are;
Though time has stolen breath and years,
It leaves the warmth of vanished tears.
VERSE 4
So let the winter winds be kind,
They guard the keepsakes left behind:
A touch, a kiss, a fleeting song—
The heart that held you still holds on.
