A WALK IN RAIN

Alone set a journey self protected,
every step had a question,
WHY is that one name running like a timer in a stop watch;
WHAT AM i,enjoying??? a DREAM within ME or the WILD breeze
ITS THE TRUE me WHEN i WALK IN RAIN:)


A walk has a scene realing in my mind,unknowingly have a smiling face;
its like im given up myself walking back in a race;
mind tuned to a song ,almost lost in my way,every time is the same loyal dream,
its me flying high in a cloudy cream:)
ITS THE TRUE me WHEN i WALK IN RAIN:)

bloody hope dreams to reframe broken heart,
what shall i believe , me or my inner voice;
im always respecting and resting with time;
will there be a answer soon for all my question, there s always a infinite hope in me,yes!! i will wait for that perfect time :)still ALONE :)
ITS THE TRUE me WHEN i WALK IN RAIN:)
