                        Rain in June

Rain in June

There is nothing more steadfast from the June rain, he kept his longing a secret to the flowering tree.

There is nothing more wiser from the June rain, his footprints were erased who hesitates on that path

There nothing more wiser from the June rain, left it unsaid absorbed by the roots of the flower tree

I Want to

I want to love you simply, with words that were never spoken wood to the fire which turns it into ashes.

I want to love you simply, with a cue that was never conveyed clouds to rain that makes them disappear.

Only

You only hear the sound of the bird, and you never see that bird, but you know the bird is there.

You only feel the swish of the wind, and you never saw the wind, but believe that the wind is around you.

Only my prayer tremble tonight and you never see who I am but believe I am in you.
