Are you on the inside or outside.

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.

The people in warzone, many are trying to comfort them.
This is how they feel.  Traumatized.
So it takes time to heal.
When we lose a loved one someone dear to us we feel this too. but not as traumatizing.

When the sun sets.
Stillness in sunset’s glow
Golden song with soundless wind
Last birds call before flying home
Color spectacle inviting dark of night
Sun sinking slowly
hoping to lay eyes for  moon to see
Lingering love at twilight.

Smile
Positive vibe,
Soothing gentleness
Can heal a life
A connection from deep inside
to reach someone deep inside.
Connection without words
No matter the circumstances
Smile
You’re here
To survive, makes a happy someone
Makes a happy you too.

Pastel shades appear everywhere
All nuances of green to be seen

Like airplanes and helicopters
Landing to kiss you.

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.

Melody of life
Angels humming quietly
Soft melody of the divine
Song in happy children’s laughter
travel up to the sky
through gates of cherry blossom splendor.
Melody of love and sadness
in the hearts of everyone.
Deeply hidden in baby’s innocence
Going all the way through life
Till in old men broken smile.

We all have our own melody of life .

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.

Just be
While my whole being longs to be,
don’t know if in your memory
I am.
Thought that our love would last forever seems it was not ever.
Blinded eyes, silenct cry
aching heart, broken spirit
With empty arms I’ll be
In  the dark I’ll stay
When I die who will carry me.

Don’t regret.
Early morning rooster call
Sun is awakening, new challenge awaits
People wake up to start their routine,
not knowing…
In one little moment
everything can change
everything can end.
Promise the new day holds.
Good or bad.
Still always do your best.
Care and share
Say “ I love you”, while there is still time
till it’s to late.

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.

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 “
at certain point.

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.

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.

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

aquamarine colored waters.
Hidden between these high mountains
are lakes of heaven land.
Watch in admiration ,

the stillness of the wind.
Feel closer to God .

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 ,

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.
