I am not a cotton rose 
That changes three times a day 
but I am nothing and everything 
Coloring display  
From the yellow of the sunflower 
to the cobalt blue sky 
from the clear cold ice 
to the red of the fire 
from the fresh spring green 
to the autumn tone 
from the burning teen 
to the pale grave stone 
I am changing 
without any rule 
without anything 
keeping me cool.. 
I am moving 
orbiting around 
I am flying  
through the rain and the clouds 
'cause I am not a cotton rose 
That changes three times a day 
I am nothing and everything 
Changing always..
