Across the Ice - Jun Miyake

As I skate over the ice

All the way across the lake

Blades cut neat into the crust

And the snow gently covers my passage

This moment is forever

It lives inside a globe

That sits on top a shelf

Take it down and shake

Wake up the sleeping blizzard

Flurries fall as I push on

Dusk comes as I reach half way

Small lights twinkle from the shore

If I wait here till the spring

Waking water will make me its home

This moment is forever

It lives inside a storm

That sits on top a shelf

Take it down and shake

Wake up the sleepy blizzard

Flurries fall as I push on
