Sometimes

July 5, 2026

Of an uneasy uncertain mood,
sometimes I trace the raindrops down the windowpane,
sometimes my eyes are filled with tears,
and sometimes they fall like rain.
Sometimes I wish for the sun but there is only snow,
and sometimes I wish for happiness but there is only pain,
and sometimes my heart is cold.
Sometimes I feel like it is something that I truly do not know.
Sometimes I wish you were here,
and sometimes I want to be alone.
Sometimes a fire rages inside my head,
sometimes I feel as if my head is about to explode,
from all my frustrations and irritations.
Sometimes I feel as calm as a lake,
a lake with no ripples at all and no wind that blows.
Sometimes I catch the snowflakes.
Sometimes I try to capture the breeze as it blows.
Sometimes I count time backwards,
but time still moves forwards, but that is the way that it goes.
Sometimes I wish to be elsewhere,
sometimes I wish to be here with no sorrow,
and with no fear,
sometimes I wish for kisses,
but unfortunately, you are not always here.
sometimes I wonder where I am going,
sometimes I wonder where I have been.
Sometimes,
sometimes I feel as if I am living in a dream.
Sometimes I feel like a holiday.
Sometimes I feel like eating ice cream.
sometimes I trace the raindrops down the windowpane.
Sometimes,
sometimes I listen to the rain,
sometimes I listen to the rain and its solemn refrain.
Sometimes I am of a solemn mood,
a solemn mood,
but I cannot make up my mind whether to complain.
