Love moves like a trace (runo: Milka Luhtaniemi)
Move from one place
to another, to the next open
space
like a memory it comes back
to mind, it doesn't end
and the wind blows
ahead of the previous wind
still
it goes so still
and love moves like
a trace
and everything changing
just like this
leaves something to grow
covers the traces of grass
and the wind blows
ahead of the previous wind
and love moves like a
trace
still it goes so
still
