Premonition

He saw something that never happened.
He saw something that he never imagined.
This vision he had was so quick,
but it showed everything he needed to see.
He told her what will happen.
The feeling of sadness walked al around his body,
making every single hair in his skin tremble.
No one listened to him, not even her.
Then she left the apartment
in a grey, rainy and sad April’s night.

The Farmer

The sun comes after the winter.
The snow melts after the sun's dawn.
With the dawn comes a new day,
where the farmer has to wake.

He knows what he has to do.
He knows that he has to do his best,
not only for his own good,
but for the ones that are waiting for him.

He grows what ever he can.
He digs and plants
everything mother Earth allows him to.
He tries hard to do his best.

Waiting

I have to wait all day.
Seconds feel like hours.
Hours feel like thousand miles away.
Why should I keep on waiting,
for something that might never arrive?

I have to wait another day.
Now seconds feel like miles away.
I want to know what I'm waiting for.
I want to know the reason of my despair.
May be that day will come,
but it is still million light years away.

Soul

Soul
bright, wise
floating, turning, whispering,
inside, peaceful, outside, looks
jumping, living, enjoying
bronze, small
