Svalbard

Pillar in the Sand

Svalbard


How long have I known this place?
In year after year of autumnal days
Where I walk through rain and haze
But I close my eyes
I know the way

Toward my pillar in the sand
My heart feels different in this land
Like putting on a friendship band
The memories come flooding back

Of laughing hours
And thornless flowers
Cheeks flushed beneath electric towers
With careless abandon
And my dearest companions
Beneath a skyline with no comparison

I sigh relief and I feel safe
I know my sentiment is not misplacеd
And when I leave wе never part
Because here will always be my heart
