Suddenly! She appeared in front of me,
Not saying a word,

She silently looked at me,

She smiled,

Slowly she took hold of my hand,
She took away the silence of loneliness,
She took away the pain,

She whispers,
My love, there is nothing wrong,

She said;
The past doesn't matter anymore,
Let memories turn back into stardust,

As long as you're here for me to lean on,
As long as you hold on tight,
And dream happy dreams with me, when the sky turns dark at night,

There is never an ending;

Stars can not be perfect,
Unless the sky is dark, like a black velvet dress,

The past doesn't matter anymore,

Stay with me tonight,
Never again will I be afraid of the morning.

Standing in our past,
On the banks of the great river Daesu,

Watching cherry blossoms,
Crying in the Moonlight,

Waiting for the pink bloom,
Of Sunrise,

Very overwhelming!
Are, My thoughts of you;

Thoughts of moonlight shining brightly,
In your dark eyes,
Thoughts of wavy hair, blowing in a cool spring breeze,
Lips so sweet, like cherries,

Reflections from forever lovers,
Ripple beneath our feet,  
Flowing across time and space,

Tears of happiness fall,

As we stand here,
On the banks of the great river Daesu,
Holding on tightly,

Making wishes,
And seeing glimpses of eternity.

In the darkness,  before Dawn alone,

Standing high, Looking far to the East,
Seeing a night sky filled with stars,
Dreaming about you,

Looking into an immense blackness,
Dotted with cosmic explosions, like flickering candles,
In darkened windows,

A bright star appears like a torch placed on a windowsill,
As if put there, too,
Guide me out of the darkness of life,

Listening, I hear the easterly wind singing,
Follow the brightest light in the sky,
Come back home to me,

For at the end of this long journey,
Guided by starlight,

You will see an Angel with a bright Halo,
That shines brighter than any star,
That warms your Soul more than any candle,

With her divine voice,
She will lead you out of darkness into the light.

Autumn Leaves

Born far above ground,
Each leaf is a new dream,

Time to go for a ride,

Falling, flying,
From colorful trees,
Catching a ride with the wind,

Shala la la la la la!

Raining down, more colors than a rainbow;
Reds greens yellows tans, oranges, browns...

Sewing, many layers of a colorful quilt,
Quietly covering the sleeping grass,  

A soft, crunchy carpet for,
Dogs and kids to run through,

Autumn Leaves.

Four decades past,
God took my one and only wife,
Back home,

The only woman I will ever love,
Forty years of memories,
That could have been,

Memories that never were made,
Children never born,
Scorned God for many years,

Until that day,
Heaven's door opened to me,
On that August day,

When I saw my bride in front of me,
Telling me to look far to the East
You will see Angels' Sarah and Tiffany,
That will guide you to an Angel named Evelyne,

Listen to your Angels,
Never give up,
You are needed on Earth,

Your future is far to the East,
To a beautiful place,
An amazing place of beauty, music and respect,
A place you will love,

On your way back to Heaven and me.

Nights are always so quiet and cold,
Just before winter comes,

I miss the warm touch of the summer sun,

Perhaps our lives are about to change,

You are at the beginning of a new adventure,
Our promises can wait,

Eye's sparkling with tears,

Our memories of the past years,
We will keep locked safely in our hearts,

Quietly thinking,
What could have been?

What will be?
In this time, as your adventure begins,

Passing into the future,
Our voices become silent,

As thousands of ages pass;
Lonely,
Waiting,
Clouds passing slowly,

My Soul stands to guard you,
To keep you from falling,
Never parting,

'Til the day,
On a distant horizon,
My promises will be kept.

One person,
One love,

A treasure to hold,
Shining! Brightly in the darkness,

Seeing the sky in your blue eyes,
Seeing the sunshine in your smile!

Feeling the warmth in your touch,
Feeling the beating of your heart,

Touching your Soul,
Makes my life whole,

I love you!
