And sometimes



AND SOMETIMES
 ==============
 Sometimes
 Mind says
 Leave this world
 The sad smile hangs on my lips
 Instead of a tear

 Then an idea
 Sparks in my brain
 Already there are
 but a few beautiful people

 With an abrupt laughter
 I cancel the idea
 That smile is not my last link
 With the world in which I live

 Turning back
 I continue to wonder
 How fast the mind changes
 Each smile was flooded
 With streams of tears!!!!
