Songbird, voice of art.
Fragile passerine  
Singing songs, expressing art
Seems you want to tell the world,
everything you saw up there.
Letting nestlings know
Mama is on her way.
Selflessness of love’s defense.

Fairytale true stories
Silent flower
Waiting for the sun
To bloom and to be kissed
So much beauty inside
Ready to show off.
Lonely woman
Waiting for her Prince
To make her heart flutter
To bloom and to be kissed
So much love inside
Ready to give.

And when the sun came
The prince arrived
The flower started to bloom
Lonely woman opened her eyes
She started to glow.
Flower in paradise.

Then came the butterflies and the bees.
To make sure everywhere flowers would appear.
The prince took his lady by the hand.
To live happily ever after,
to never be lonely again.

True stories begin
With hearts filled with love.
To make this world a beautiful flower garden with white doves.
All people living together in harmony and peace.

It’s on us the people, to
let this fairytale come true.

We humans are like different flowers
Making this Earth a beautiful flower garden.
Let’s live in  peace and harmony with each other to make this world a happy peaceful place for you and me.

Invisible pain
Pain, sorrow and sadness from deep within.
The kind you can’t express,
can’t verbalize cause there are no words
to display the hurt you’re in.
The kind of sadness that makes you numb,  there seems no way how to overcome.
It’s a feeling that changes your view
On what this life is all about
and what lies ahead for you.
Translucent tears that fill the eyes are healing waters which wash away the sorrow of the heart.
When the eyes stay dry while the soul is in pain
that is when you have to worry
about the strain.
That’s when real trauma takes root,
that’s when you need guidance from above to survive mentally on your way.
We are all human beings with
all kinds of stress
Takes strength and a loving environment
to survive life’s tests.
Life is for many so hard and unfair,
it’s up to us all to help and lighten each other’s path.
So next time you meet someone quiet
with pain in dry eyes
try to reach out
to ease the mind.
Try to be  the light on their path.
Be part of their healing.


Shell ✨🐚
We all feel the same pain when hurt.
When sad. When disasters strike.
So be there for each other.

I took my moon

Kayaking on waves of a melody
Where different tunes made me fly
Up to heaven between the stars
Then I reached out for the moon
Plucked her gently from the sky.

Holding my hand in the darkness

Making my world lighter
Giving kindness to me

Let me hold your hand too
Dry your tears
Show you bloom of life
Give you warmth with a smile
Accept you for who you are
Don’t give up I’m right here

Blinded eyes,
Blackness around
Hold my hand, let me lead you
To life with light
So you can see I see you
Life has colors too
You are save with me.

What really matters.
Beautiful fallen cherry blossom
waiting under the tree.
Waiting for a cool breeze
to be taken away,
free…..
Taken away to unexpected places.
Unexpected places like the sea.
To see the horizon,
once
being part of eternity.
On land, with the wind and by the sea.
And all the blossoms went to see.
Bringing this mellow fragrance with them
for everyone to follow.
At the shore you’ll find
a carpet of white pink wilted blossoms.
Scent is still there,
calling you to be…..
Happy and content
even when wilted and being carried
to eternity.
As long as you are burden free.



Shell ✨🐚
At the end don’t carry any burdens with you.
Be free and fly .

Homeless
Here I am
Broken to the bone
Everything hurts can’t breathe anymore.
God are You there?
Do You see me lying here
Do You still watch over me
taking care, protecting me?
I’ve lost my path in life, left in  the cold.
I’m on the road to living hell
searching the way back to home.
Only heartbreak and sorrow.
I’ve been in touch with the devil.
Had him in my veins, my brains.
Nowhere to go only places to hide.
Nothing to eat, afraid for the night.
That’s the time I got to think, miss them all.
Homeless
When will my time come for happiness
and to be really free.
God are you there, are you near?

Care
Many need a listening ear.
Someone who will be there.
So many people lost their way.
Totally thrown off their old ways.
Can’t find their place, lost all control.
Who is there to hug you or just  hold you these days.
So many unspoken words
So many feelings hidden away
Buried inside, too painful to say.
Left alone all by their selfs.
Days go by without speaking a word.
Unspoken stories locked up inside.
Lockdown means to be locked up in your mind.
All we can do is to look out for one another.
Show that we are here.
That we care.

Scents of fall
It’s getting colder
Autumn is around the corner.
Green leaves leave.
Orange, golden to brown to see.
Scents of earth come along
with terracotta colors,
fragrance of hay
Mint like cool in the wind
touching the skin.
Peppermint taste in my mouth
At home smell of baked potatoes,
chocolate and cinnamon welcome me.
I know an apple pie is in the oven.

Driving in my car
Looking at the sky
I smile

Oh my Creator
I love you.



Shell  ✨🐚
In my heart I’m just happy to be.
In the midst of summer heat
I dream of autumn colors.
Wanted to be on my parents farm again
by the big oak tree turning golden orange.
Many memories and longings overwhelming me.
It was there that I drew a heart together with my young forever love.
I can still smell the scent of hay in the barn
where I had my first kiss lying in his arms.
Precious are those moments back in mother’s kitchen, where we made shepherds pie, boiled potatoes
on an open fire.
Long gone are those days, still part of my everyday living.
There is where my core is,
part of me wants to go back.
Mountain’s view,
pine trees standing tall in silence.
Dear deer walking by looking at me with big dark eyes.
I feel tears falling.
I hear my mother calling
For me to come inside and leave this town behind.

We always long to go back home.

Laughter
Sometimes seasons start in an unexpected way
Some nights the sleep is stolen away
Some loves are never meant to be
Sometimes
people come into your life and leave.
There are moments in life when everything falls in place
Moments everything falls apart.
Sometime someone comes along
and  makes you laugh,
a gift from heaven.
Energy comes free,
a sparkle lightening up the soul.
Adding time to living .


Laugh and you’ll live longer.

Laughter is like a healing balm for the soul.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely ancient woodland wildflower,
protected you are.
Velvet sea of blue you can create
Your bell like appearance makes you look sad

In partial shade.
Still you grow too where waters meet land
For humility and gratitude you stand
and the world loves you.

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.

What must it feel like being a child in war.
So many traumatized children. Because of greed and lust for power of grownups.

Privilege to be
Wildflower in the wild
As long as I am
In memory of you
I am
Do forget me not.
