BUTTERFLY
Ah! Butterfly
even if you speak in a whisper.
I don’t believe you,
you don’t keep the secrets.
THOUGHTS
Without faith,
without principles,
we became the loot
of wind.
“AMO ERGO SUM” (I LOVE, THEREFORE I AM!)
I love, therefore I am!
There ever you tread, plant flowers
and there ever you look, put blue color.
Life is short…
But it will be true
whenever you love,
whenever you smile
and whenever you laugh at it…
