1.

I hear.

It is easier to listen

When self-preservation

Is not my most important mission.

2.

He removed,

but did not erase

what resides in my confidence.

3.

A fool will promise

his love a thousand one vows

and fail to keep one.

4.

Deeds done out of fear

can be carried out not long

without conviction.

5.

One patient but wise

will not idle forever

waiting for a fool.
