Starry decoration

In a midwinter’s tale

I had a beautiful decoration.

As a young child

I looked forward.

Now, there is nothing

left of silver,

beside red rivers, blue skies

and golden stars.

As I do not appreciate

your rituals, worldwide,

I will always have my decoration,

no one ever knows.
