Nature's Judgment

As the winter wears on 
The bare trees and twigs 
Jutting out like the bones of the impoverished 
Tend to say how sad and deserted they are. 

Then came the beginning of spring, 
When I saw the trees, 
Scarcely tipped with green leaves and buds 
Were in charming air and swaying in honey dew sunshine. 
They had new life and nature's delicateness. 

Then I remember as in nature's way, 
I saw my boy and girl, they are equal with 
A young woodland sapling. 
They are like trees 
Growing, smiling, singing in the wind, 
Souls are blossoms in nature. 
Trees and boys and girls are my democratic love 
And have come from far-off Eden. 
A flash of nature's judgments, I am breathing in. 

Oh, my world leader's, my argument is not to 
Destroy my trees and generations 
But to work for and think for this existing world, 
Intently playing with power 
We don't need power, we need love.

Voice of Heart

If you bestow trust to a worthy heart 
Then you can seize the amorous soul 
And sweetness, a wave of joy for life 
Also you will greet merrymaker king of twelve months. 

If you focus your two legs, two hands and mind 
To create veracity and equity 
Then you will advance diligently 
And be touched by a flood of tenderness and fondness. 
Then I dissolve in your tranquil existence. 

You can give to a love of heart 
Where you have affection and attachment 
And a translucent portrait of love 
So, for the purpose of a moment o amorous life. 
I search again and again. 

You can cast a look 
That has serenity of deep feelings 
And that wraps my chambers of Consciousness 
As if shaded by the cloud of the sky. 

Then I can offer my evident identity 
And steadfast love of heart.

Equation

You don't know my aim
Or the frantic of my heart's flame
I am too proud to inform you
To everybody my heart is due.

But sometimes someone presents pain
Then comes a victims rain
I feel this is my deep life's wondering
Therefore, my soul comes forward with white lighting.
