Vermillion sunset
Red wine sunset
setting world on fire.
Sun sinks into the deep at
Vermillion Earth’s horizon.
Rivers and sea change in red moving veins
Undergoing sun the throbbing heart
of all of life.

Ghostlike appearances,

Without seeing or talking
Only sharing with the world.

Devastating grief
I am so blue
There is a storm hidden within me
At night I’m back in my dark dream, back at the sea
Dark heavens surrounding my fears
Restless waves inside of me.
Over turbulent waters I see eternity
Still waiting , you’re not there.

Graceful being
The power of God
is what’s in you
On your mind
Your thoughts
What you do with
what you know
and how you feel.
How you express yourself
The way you walk and talk.

Kind are those who are grateful
for every little blessing in their life
When body and mind are one
there is harmony within.
When there is harmony
there will be Inner peace.
Like a swan over calm waters
Moving silently.
Gracefully.

Over silent waters
The swan is sliding
Nothing seems to be moving
Not even the waters
Full of elegance

Out of gratefulness came gracefulness.

Pieces of life
Here I am.
Life’s struggle.
Leaving me silent.
Alone with my God.
Abandoned but in peace.
Another turn I have to take
not knowing what lies around the bend.
I realize that I have to change my ways.
To see another season of trees.
Being alone is good
as long as I know
that there are others around
I don’t have to see,
I don’t have to speak.
We all need some color in life
to brighten our thoughts.
A good joke to make us laugh.
When in need of rest
I just close my eyes
and pretend to be here.
In my colorless land
With my lonely trees.
Where I know I find my God
deep inside of me.
Just another moment in life,
another struggle,
but always around the bend
another season of life awaits.
You will be free.

Moments in dementia
Lost in a dark space
Dancing in my mind,
all night long on the melody within.
The song that’s in my heart
bringing back memories dear to me,
long forgotten words like bright butterflies
in search of attractive colored bloom.
Memories from time that’s death
still shining like a star on midnight’s heaven.
I smell the scent of white jasmine
and in your arms I’m back again.
Then everything fades away and I’m back
above grey clouds where there is no light to see.
Floating around not knowing who I am and where I’m going.
Lost in my world of silence.
I hear voices known to me
not knowing who are the speakers.
Drowning in shallow waters,
pray to God to set me free,
lead me home to familiar faces.
The fear that is choking me like
black cotton in my airways.
In a moment very clear to me
I’m back with my mother, brothers, sisters
and my father.
Home sweet home.
I’m smiling.
I am found.

Keyholes in life
Standing in the dark, locked up
Inside myself
Little dot of light I see while praying
Coming through my keyhole.
Seeing people just like me
Living life, walking, talking all dressed up.
Living dolls locked up in their selves looking for their key.

Lost chance meeting
What will this world be
Now that I can’t hear the melody
The song that was out there
Never more.
Intense sadness
Robbery of joy
Missed chance of knowing you
Leaving an emptiness inside.

Loving friends
Like music, giving extra meaning to be
Happiness to have a song inside
To share
a smile or tear.
Now that you’ve left silently
tears are falling.

My sweet dog died
Thirteen years of  togetherness
I buried him and planted a tree
Now he is still here

I wait for him to bloom
Soon I’ll be standing

Full circle
After Earth went full circle around the sun
The New Year sets in

No one knows what this year will bring
Live your life the fullest
Always be hopeful
Even at your lowest point
Full circle and another year will pass.
Be kind and humble
Love is all that matters
in this circle called life.
Protect Earth and all living things
so we can go full circle again and again
and again…..

All the best and wish you a peaceful Year

Within
God is inside each of us
Let His word breathe within.
To make all that is bad, go away
To set us free from evils game,
so we can always act with love.
Hold close to you , what He stands for.
Let His light in,
enlightening ….
Now we can walk the darkest of paths
without fear
When God is near.

Snow globe moon
Today I saw an impressive colored sky
One color, deep nuance
of strange dark blue,
almost purple blue
as far as the eyes could see.
Not one  cloud in sight.
And what took my breath away,
yes I smiled ,
was a snow globe like moon.
Very rare.
A bright yellow sickle at the bottom
and a thin line shaping the globe.
Inside little yellow dots.
It was a snow globe moon.
It followed me to work at 6 am
It was my Christmas moon
and made my day.

So much energy in the universe
Divided in all living things.
We all are part of this great design.
All part of the same thing.
Pieces of God inside each one of us.
Let’s shine our lights together
To expel all the darkness  
To lighten up this Earth
Children of one origin.
Children of the world.

Nature’s breathtaking Christmas image.
Snow covering mountain top
reaching grey sky.
At the foot of these majestic creations
different sizes pine trees,  
in between a blanket of velvet cold
creating this peaceful Noel view.
Streaming like a jewel ribbon
through white valley land,
aquamarine colored waters.
Hidden between these high mountains
are lakes of heaven land.
Watch in admiration ,
hear
the stillness of the wind.
Feel closer to God .

Classic Christmas card
Falling cotton dots from above
Kissing land
Blanket of clouds on earth
Making a white brand new world
The birth of winter wonderland
Time stands still or so it seems
Proud trees, waiting ,
no movement
Frozen leaves
When evening falls
All lights are on
Beautiful Christmas decorations, shining, sparkling
Wonder of colors
Creating this one of a kind holiday view
A classic Christmas card in the making.

Christmas 🎄 time is near
Meow!! Wow!!
What is happening now
Why all the excitement?
Oh is it that ball again
how slow are these human beings.
Must have been a Cat’s game
You wouldn’t see a paw on the ground
It would have been a total different game.
Jump , float and take.
Well I wouldn’t score a thing
I would float, take and run away.
The ball would be forever mine.
You know I don’t get these people.
Sometimes I look at them and wonder.
It’s a good thing we are the boss here.

Winter vibes
Weather is mild, last earth colors
are closing the eyes
returning back to dirt of Earth
From afar comes the sound of a lovely hymn
It comes on the wings of a white snowbird
Freezing cold wind is howling
embracing the skin
It’s time to prepare the logs for an open fire.
We hear the silence of the first snowflakes falling softly.
Orange to yellow lights stay on the whole day
Pine trees are wearing their white coats changing the view in a special warm way
creating this precious Christmas card.

It’s here
Winter time, silent and peaceful.
Let’s stay inside, on the couch under a warm blanket.
Let’s have hot chocolate milk
and roast some chestnuts.

Precious
Oh my beautiful dog, are you lost?
Do you feel my desperation
Yes I am sad and lonely, lost the old lady
after 50 years of togetherness.
Surrounded by stillness and blurred view.
Everything seems to happen in slow motion these days.
Don’t you have a home my friend
Do you want to go home with me?
Don’t look at me with  such
a questionable look.
I could use the company you know
Not a bad idea.
Let’s share the pain, let’s share the love.
So much love left inside of me.
It’s been long that I felt someone else’s consciousness.
We connect.
What should I call you.
I know you are “Precious “
Yes.
Come on Precious let’s go home.

One white rose
Thank you for the rose my love
I fly high and still look at you from above, every day.
I know you have many silent tears and so much pain in your heart.
Yes today was the day and that was the place.
I fell from that wooden bridge and drowned .
You must know I fell because of my seizure.
Your little man I was.
Always together, always taking care of me.
Being sick wasn’t easy on you as a single parent.
But what a love you gave me my love.
What a lovely mom you were.
Know that I’m not far away.
I am free as a bird in the sky
I often come and sing a song in the tree next to your window.
Tell you what I see up there.
It’s all good and I’m not sick here.
My one wish is for you to smile.
Maybe when my little brother arrives.
I will be still here, watching.
Thank you for the rose my love.

Sometimes we forget what it’s all about!
The clock is ticking towards midnight hour
Towards end of just another year.
Soon last season will take over, time to
leave behind all that isn’t good for you
Just like fall’s fallen leaves will leave
Time for  reflection can begin.
Keys are there for doors to open
To unlock life’s hidden mysteries
and to close doors to all
that’s over,
time for forgiveness sets in.
Another chance is given to make wrongs right .
Yes,
It’s time for a new begin.

Every season has its own charm.
Every year new mysteries.

Every day in life you have the chance for new beginnings.
Every day can bring you light .

Lavender beach sunset
A thousand different sunsets
Not two of them the same.
Lamp of Aladdin like sun this time ,
like a miracle you appear on lavender canvas
fuming all kinds of pomegranate like colors,
to color the sky in a warm way .
Changing to orange to yellow
when reaching top of the sky,
painting this incredible sunset
caressing the eyes .
You can see the fume coming out
mixing fuchsia nuances as sun sets
lower to rest.
Lavender colored breeze
finding its way over the ocean
creating fine ripple wave kisses
for shore to embrace .

Pink peony, moments of love
Pink peony, ticking clock , unread book
hourglass

My love
Time doesn’t wait
Never has since the beginning of time.
Doesn’t wait for flowers to last
Happiness, beauty, wealth and romance
All can fade away with time
Like reading a book, hoping that it will never end but it does.
My love,
Let our love be pure and honest, never ending.
Like a lovely fragrance in a bottle.
Always there.
Soft pink peony, for all the above you stand
For honor and love you stand too
Let my love be forever, moments of love,
time after time.
Strung together.
As was meant to be.
