22. Why not the best
Count your steps
Before the bells.
This time and its offspring,
Shall in you linger,
As you live and more.
Every wind blows you good wishes,
The songs of my heart.
The alter are feed with prayers
The prayers of dawn,
The litany of my soul.
All for you
I give gods libation,
Calling on the Almighty
For the cornerstone of your life.
Think
And think again,
Here are ordeals of roses,
Why not the best.
The clouds and sky of September,
I have promised the rainbow
The toils of yours
Shall born.
The rains of May
Are for the greens,
The harvest
Are for the toils of May.
23. Dusk
At dusk,
guilt and innocence
no longer count
for the soul.
At dusk,
pain and pleasure
never matters
for the frame.
At dusk,
all and sundry,
swim the same pool
for the very one.
