TRANSIENCE
When everything passes, and it always does;
When our time comes, for, somewhere close, we are;
Missed opportunities, will you regret them?
A clear conscience, will you have?
When everything passes, and doomstday comes;
When the last minute, clock hands count down;
Will you regret leaving me behind?
If i leave this world first,
And, a long life, you live;
Will you bring a flower to my grave;
Will you, to her mention my name?

I KNOW
I know what a town looks like
When covered with white snow.
I know how a swallow looks forward to spring.
I know how a spring enjovs the rain.
I know how brave sadness is.
To trample on thorns by bare feet.
I know how to rise from ashes
I know ehat it’s like
For a heart to freeze.
I know what it’s like.
To drink wormwood and malt.
I know how a lock turns gray.
I know what it’s like
To feel burned out by love.
I know..i know many things.
But there is only one thing i don’t know..
How to forgive betrayal and adultery..

STUCK
Stuck in the past,
I don’t see the way I should take;
I always look behind me.
Therefore I cannot reach my destination.
In some days gone by,
when hurricanes and storms were hitting me
And winds were bending my branches,
I put up with them even though
they’re still flowing.
If only I could, just for a moment
Run away from this page of life,
where I would put a stop,
where at the beginning the note would be.
All the days of my past life
Wouldn’t fit in a novel,
So I write about them often.
For the heart of many would shake.
