In a season of life, where the spring, it seems truly infinite to us!

SPRING FLOWER…
With the sweet season,
The water gives way to the sun…
Nature, dull,
Is tinged with green,
Bursting with the color of flowers!
It’s jubilation under the cloak
Prodigious…
They celebrate, with chirping
Birds!
The courts begin and
The flirtations!
The animal kingdom is softening…
Meanwhile, a child grows up and…
Become a man…
Caught in harmony and
In peace of mind,
With my heart, more and more
Warmed up!
He’s ready to love too,
In a season of life,
Where the spring,
It seems truly infinite to us!

AND THE NOISE OF A THOUSAND CUTS
I would like to be wind,
To strike peace everywhere…
Make it reach beyond the border line…
I would like to be,
A cloud,
Rain,
That erases,
This stupid
War…
I would like to be,
That color,
Faded
From time,
Which erases
The pain and the bombs…
I would like to color the dreams of a child,
All over again, with noise,
Of a thousand caresses…
Meanwhile,
The sky turns grey,
It rains, on the living and the dead,
More blood flows,
Into the river
Of discord…
How cold, to the heart,
And how cold it still is…

THE EARTH HATES US
The earth hates us,
While she listens
Our thoughts.
Like a sister
She hugs us
And she trembles,
While how
Gentle sheep,
Let’s eat
All
The grass
Of a meadow
And not deaf
We feel
Everything is fine
Small
I gasp.
The earth hates us,
When of elegance
It is painted
His
Cloak,
With the subtle
Thread of wickedness,
With just one
Hand.
The earth hates us,
Absorbs everything
Evil,
Like one
Sponge,
She cleans us up,
While she buries
With bitterness
Waste
In the
Crust of her.
The earth loves us
And she eats herself
All hatred
Of the world
In a
Thousandth
Of a second.
