Love Is My Faith

I celebrate beauty

and goodness, just,

a breeze of a silk sleep,

let him take me there.

Where,

white angels dream,

and the harps of peace play ...

My life,

With a bright soul

I want to be crowned

With bitter destinies end

In the gardens of paradise.

From the source

I want to drink faith

Of all pure hearts,

With hope and consolation

I want to be friend

For all unhappy people

Like a butterfly,

Flower of summer,

Let them to celebrate

And that beautiful Orion

To illuminates blue dreams.

Love is my faith

My children are

Breastfeed by beautiful faith

With the shackles

If the day of slavery

And therefore,

I want to count.

The rage of unreasonable,

Let it all fall on me,

If in my heart

In rhythmic melodies of love,

To stop beating me.

If the music of love

I won’t to be able

Just to hear!!!

The Beauty Of The Universe

Just love

Truth and justice

They are my life,

The joy of my heart.

That beauty

And the heart

Of the Earth needs,

The beauty of the universe

From the depths of the sky.

In words, that's what

I'm talking about,

I burn with them

And in them.

Mother

Timeless mother,

You who walked on thorns

And emotions of the heart,

You dawned me at dawn.

You, who illuminated the roads for me

With the golden glow,

The beauty of VENUS

And the power of the universe gate.

I gladly carry you in my heart

The essence of your strength

I ask for it.

You are my source and refuge,

That awaits me,

The energy that drives me,

The sacred silence of the echo.

The brightest star in my sky,

An amulet, which doesn’t give

Evil forces!

You're an in comprehensible

Secret and my timeless,

Angelic melody of my time.

With your sails,

I sail the sea of my life

With your inspiration,

I drink the abundance of beauty…

MOTHER, I shout alleluia to you

And I write a song of the heart!
