The Unforgettable Winter Day

The Unforgettable Winter Day

Running in an icy cold morning
Along the hillside of Buk-han Mt.
Searching for good old memories
Mind roaming along the memory lane
Floating in the empty space

Winter, hardly any one’s favorite season
A fond memory lingering around
The bitter cold day in my old town
Buffi, my late companion, a crazy jogger
Declared too cold to run

Despite the unforgettable coldness
The nostalgic place and time
Coming back on a space screen
As the most memorable event in life
Eternal happiness decorates my soul
It was ten times colder
But my mind only remembers
The cozy, warm day in a peaceful town
The six feet snow of the day
Gently melted away with ease

The process of the long journey
As irreversible as it can be
Doubting the day ever come back
The most joyous winter
Wondering, longing, yearning, bewildering
