Soft imagination
While living in extreme drought of lands
Sitting under a brown silhouette tree
Many questions are overwhelming me.
Am I born on the wrong side of Earth,
no one seems to understand or care.
I look at the shivering air in front of me
Must walk miles to get me some water.
Thirsty throat made me feel drowsy
I close my eyes sitting here.
Pretending I am in a land with pastel colors
I see a beach with rolling waves
A soft blue of sky and waters.
Never saw a beach before but it’s good
to be there now.
Cool breeze is touching me
I feel goosebumps creeping on my skin.
I can hear the sounds of ocean
In my mind it made me sleepy
Drifting away drifting away
Further more further more.
Realize I want to keep drifting to never
to  return to land of thirst.
Please God keep me here.


When feeling trapped, close your eyes.
Let your imagination carry you.
Pray.

A smile
When you smile
You smile from within
That’s a gesture to someone
Hey, I see you,
hey, I welcome you.
Smile and the world smiles back.

Can be a ray of sunlight on someone’s rainy day.
Be that sunbeam.

For Richard Shepherd.
A child being formed in the womb is magical.
The development on its own, day by day, is still a miracle.
Don’t let this child suffer.
Every child deserves to be welcome, happy and feeling safe all the time.
A child didn’t ask to be born.
I wish and pray for the day that  every child seeing day of light
will become a light on its own
and shine.

Happy children will make a happy world someday.

Let the blind show you.
Sitting in a tree the blind owl
saw everything the bat didn’t see.
It didn’t matter if it was day or night .

Quote 155🌷


To do good
Live a life in service of others.
Helping those in need,
those who can’t help themselves.
For that,
one doesn’t need seeing eyes
but a good heart.
When the eyes don’t see
the inner eye takes over.
In darkness one can not only hear more
but feel more too.

I don’t see but let me show you the way.

Many religious people go to church and pray everyday but don’t love their neighbors.
We have to change our ways.

Always do good . At least try.
Praying alone isn’t enough .

Universal rose 🌹 🥀
At dawn of day
I peep between the  shutters of my petals
To see the light of early sunrise
What an enthralling world view
Through the curtain of mist
I see colors so startling
Charmed to just be
this rose in the making
What color will I be?
I don’t know…..
Who will fall in love with me.
Will my petals fall one by one
for the one who will treasure me
will I crown the newborn
celebrate birthdays
Or just a Valentine.
I don’t know and I don’t care
I’m here to be
for you.

Humans are like roses,
delicate
unique
in their own way
In need of love and care.

Soothing rainfall. 🌧️
Today rain falls softly.
Birds sitting still in the tree.
Using tree’s roof of leaves
as their umbrella of nature.
Watching me as I watch them
standing at my kitchen sink.
Giving me this peaceful feeling.
It’s very quiet
as if every living being is holding their breath or listening to this soothing sound
of rain falling softly.
I realize we are relaxed together.

Blooming fields of love
When the sun shines
All buds feel a tickling love
Warm beams, urging them to awaken.
Open your eyes look at me.
Trees are happy, waving in the wind.
Some are just standing elegantly still
Showing off their bloom.
Mellow to strong fragrances fill the air
Making bees and butterflies busy and wild.
It’s their time in paradise
To make sure everything blooms before summer is over.


My love
With you I always am
like a tree in full blossom
May I caress your eyes
every season of life
Give you comfort
with my shadow
For always.

Unopened books 📚
In every soul there are these emotions, these feelings.
In every mind there are these thoughts , this wisdom
In every brain there are these words,
this knowledge.
All coming  together in sentences as we speak.
Each of us are
many untold stories on our own.
So much one can say
So much one can express
Many words wrapped up
in deep feelings, in tactfulness,
stay inside.
Behind closed doors.
Inside each of us many unwritten books
which will die with us.
Never to be known to the people around us, the people we love, we know and don’t know.
To the world
When a man dies a library with many unopened books dies too.

Flower moon 🌝
Go into nature’s pure, untouched harmony
Bringing happiness and peace
There is where you’ll find
the healing herbs for the soul.
Go deep inside
find your core
Humanity and love.

When spring begins Earth’s like a newborn coming into light.
Different greens are coming back,
bringing hope and delight.
Pastel floral splendors in the make.
Hanami time is here
Flower moon appears
Poppy flowers open,
let’s fly high.
Genesis all over.

Flying high in wonderland
Flower moon’s delight.

Springtime in my mind
I see
Blue clear sky, no clouds

People singing and praying.
Happy spring day.

Luscious tree 🌳
Deep inside me is this seed
In search of light and water
to grow, before it’s soil runs dry.
Deep inside me is this dream that wants to awaken
to make itself come true,
before the sleep is over.
Deep inside me is this love in need of someone else’s love
To go hand in hand through life,
before horizon’s dawn.

The seed is in the dream
The dream is in the love
The love is in my being

The seed becomes a tree
The dream a shining light
The love the carrier of peace.

A metaphor.
We are just like trees in need of love and light.
Let’s save ourselves, let’s save this beautiful world.

Royal bluebell
Lovely ancient woodland wildflower,
protected you are.
Velvet sea of blue you can create
Your bell like appearance makes you look sad
It’s not because of the upcoming sun
you hang your head
It’s just the way you thrive
In partial shade.
Still you grow too where waters meet land
For humility and gratitude you stand
and the world loves you.

Blue love
Moonlight’s yellow
gives pink cherry blossom tree
peach flowers everywhere.
Meet you by the lake after twilight’s hour
Lay me down on a bed of subtle scent.
It’s a love that can never breathe
Listening to the call of nightingales
I close my eyes and let go
while tears are falling sideways.

While love can be blue life is full of colors too.

A token of what was not.

A token of his undying love

Now all I have is a stem with thorns
A petal from a rose falls without a thorn.
Now all I’m left with

a token of what never was.

Color me with love
As I walked out of my black and white world
in my grey colored clothes leaving behind the ruins of my life which was full of sadness full of fear.
Like stepping in a new dimension of space.
I saw colors so bright they hurt my eyes but bring joy to my heart.
Looking up to this infinite sky
I saw all shades of blue going over in turquoise
at the end I saw colors of a blushing sky with a glow on the cheeks, soft rose and soft pastel.
Crown of white was holding this up like  pieces of white cotton candy  so sweet, I just keep looking up.
Then I felt a light breeze from a soft blue wind ,
listening careful there was a message within.
Messages coming from afar reaching the ear
touching the heart.
I could hear the cries of people in pain, children in fear what a shame.
Could this beautiful sky be theirs too?
Yes it is,  I was one of them too.
Looking around what beautiful trees,
all kinds of green but also orange, yellow and pink.
Fields of tulips, red roses and yellow daffodils everywhere!
Indeed these are the colors of Spring.
Many butterflies and bees in the air
Buzzing around in search for a kiss.
The sounds of happy birds flying high taking dives back to earth.
I felt like Alice in wonderland
finally found after getting lost.
In reality
It was just another day in war.

We all must try to help the people in war. Shower them with colors of love.



Shell ✨🐚
What must it feel like being a child in war.
So many traumatized children. Because of greed and lust for power of grownups.
Forget me not
Waiting….
Despite being blue
Privilege to be
Wildflower in the wild
As long as I am
In memory of you
I am
Do forget me not.

Reflections of mourning.
I look up to the sky in despair
When will I feel better
Life isn’t fair
Long to be happy to feel again
Feel like a stranger in my own skin.
Long gone are the days
When you were all here
Still feels like yesterday
the whole family together
Can’t forget still miss it so much
I’m afraid of this darkness
Everything so cold, it’s tough.
I am sad at the inside
Everything grey surrounding me
nothing to hold on to
No green leaves to be seen
No blue skies
Even the waters refuse to flow
Birds are still, sitting, waiting
As if mourning with me.
All dark and empty
Reflections of me.
I miss my home, my land
nothing left within me.
No feelings
They are all gone
Forever broken
Heart feels like a stone
No warmth,  everything
cold as ice,
I’m frozen inside.

Music, the melody within
Happiness, sadness, passionate love ,
all kinds of feelings.
Hidden emotions deep within.
Coming to life, in a melody that
lives in our hearts
Listening to music can do the same .
Makes you feel, gives a smile
or tears in the eyes
Touches deep within
We recognize each other in just listening.
Brings us together,
makes one realize
how very much alike we are.
Different appearances
from different cultures and lands
Still it’s the same melody that touches our hearts.

Soft melody of the divine
Song in happy children’s laughter

Going all the way through life
Till in old men broken smile.

The moon, light of magic
Mesmerized by your appearance
I can’t take my eyes off of you
Like another planet full of light
You come close,  give color to the night
You see everything that’s happening on this Earth
So much darkness so much pain
Want to swing to bring me closer to you
You’re the eye of God, watching
Everyone that do harm, who is to blame.
All I want is whisper to you,
you’re my Moon.
Tell you all my secrets and my name too.

Empty chairs of life
It seems not so very long ago
The two of us, together by the sea
Watching nature’s charm in harmony .
The melody of kissing waves the only sound to hear.
With you by my side I didn’t care
Now , just a memory of what used to be
All by myself still watch the tides
Can feel your presence next to me.
While looking at those empty chairs,
I realize that after all this years
Still miss your peaceful being.



Shell ✨🐚
We all end alone. First two then one.
Sometimes after decades of being together.
It’s heartbreaking.
We all are confronted with “ empty chairs of life “
