First Bud of Summer

I was in the crowd
who dreamt of applause
carried through the waves
of blurry frequencies
So I kept myself from falling in a knot
When she came with the first bud of summer
She said, time remains and friends withstands
And, darling, you should bloom,
And turn away from the noise,
To the subtle calls within yourself,
against the overbearing shadows.
With the visions of green grasses,
Under the setting sun.
