Tomorrow

TOMORROW     
                                         
TOMORROW will dawn
Tomorrow will be
Tomorrow I will be
Tomorrow I will have
Tomorrow I will see
Tomorrow I will go
Tomorrow I will live.

Tomorrow would dawn
Tomorrow would be
Tomorrow would tell.

Tomorrow, tomorrow
Only tomorrow
Always tomorrow
Why tomorrow?
When is tomorrow?
Tomorrow will bring another day!
How I wish that dawn was today!

LIFE TO BREATH

Life to Breath
                                                            
Darker seems each step downward
Parts of me every tear took away
I saw my disappearance appear
In those nights I kept quiet

The mirror failed to see me
My skin felt the non-existed touch
Apathy and emptiness filled my being

You searched for me, forsaken no longer
The rope I grabbed lifted me up
Clearer was the light up above
Your voice like a joyful song I heard

Life smiles, your strength holds me
My heart beats again, life involves me
What a bright day! Freely the gentle breeze I breath.

CLOUD OF MUD

CLOUD OF MUD
                                     

It is not a white cloud.
It is not a dark cloud.
It is a cloud of mud.

It doesn´t indicate the presence of the sun;
It doesn´t announce a rainy day.

It is a mix of water and dirt
It is not a white cloud.
It is not a dark cloud.
It is not a cloud.

OCTOBER'S GARDEN

OCTOBER’S GARDEN 

January is fresh, new paths it always brings.
December is a companion to finish the line.
Throughout the year, life beautifully springs;
Plenty of flowers make the garden a shrine.

What grows in October, anyway?
Lennon was born in this month,
My birthday is on the fourth,
‘Tis also Saint Francis’s Celebration Day.

Lennon sang love: that´s all we need;
Saint Francis cared for all creatures: that´s love indeed.
As for me, of hope and peace I sow the seed.

All other months are fine; one could be a bellwether.
Wonderful things October displays,
Including its charm of pleasant weather.

I LOVE THE WIND

I LOVE THE WIND
                                              
I love the wind!
And when it feels loved by me,
Its existence is really for me.
I love the wind!
