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.

Cozy time.

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 .

Sitting alone in the dark
In this time of light and care
Only thing that sparkles here
are those silent falling tears
For whatever reason
So much sadness deep inside
While we celebrate
Think of them when you pray.

Many are very sad around this time of the year. First time without someone
People of the war
People who lost everything in flood and fire
Children without a home and loving parents.

Early morning
Today in early morning
Smokey blue sky
Only one bright star to see
Searching for my moon
Where is she, unexpectedly
right above me
Gave me a smile
I stand still
Almost half moon I greet
Watching me and the star afar.

Part of my life. Daily routine. Searching for the moon.

Life is short and can end  anytime. Don’t waste it.
While the last yellow leaves are leaving
Yellow lights stay on all day
To bring warmth and coziness
in long gray evenings with short darker days
Warming naked trees and inner selves.
Valuable togetherness

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 .



Shell ✨🐚
reaching out to you
I am your brother brother
take my hand and trust

I will pull you up
Into the dark we both are
let’s go to the light

In peace together
the only way to mend the wrong

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.

Another day goes by
And while the world is changing around us
Orange clouds are taking over the sky
Souls of people are rising up to the heavens while yet another sunset is painting the sky.
Every day loved ones die
Meeting of spirits will soon happen while Earthlings cry.
Story of all our lives.

Busses, trains, subways

No eye contact whatsoever

Everyone for themselves.

Special time
It all starts with the beauty
of one Christmas bell,
family. and friends together
That special feeling, like a spell
Beginning of this wonderful symphony.
For others a special time in other ways
Missing of that special someone
Gone unexpectedly, left without a say
but a melody in the heart and tears in the eyes.
Many in solitude, no one left to share.
Sitting, waiting
Praying to let this season pass.
Let us be there for those who need us
To let the meaning of this symphony
be one of harmony  between us all.


Shell ✨🐚
Let  this season be one with true meaning.
She looked up
Wishing for a falling star
To make a wish, a dream come true
The stars stared back
Taken by the sparkles that out shined them
One by one they started falling.

Translucent
Translucent rain can’t hide behind it.
A necessity for the world.
Brings freshness to this Earth.
Translucent tears can’t hide the pain.
They fall like shimmering rain
Life itself is to blame.
Translucent waters, clean to drink from,
a must for all living things.
Translucent oceans, a necessity for sealife
to live healthy to have longevity
So humankind can survive
Translucent air to see blue sky clear
No misty fog to choke the throat and burn the eyes.
Translucent heart, like a crystal jewel
Filled with light, filled with love
For all our people
Just share love by being kind
Afterall we’re all humans, different, still so much alike.
We are all one of one kind.

Blue dream
Almost disappearing in the unseen
You try your best but no one cares, it seems.
Then you walk in a field of violet violets
Lay me down on a purple dream
Let me dream the dreams of royals
where angels do appear near,
where wisdom prevails,
gone are all the fears.

Humility takes you all the way
Brings love and peace to you
All the blues will disappear.
A happy place is where you end
Everyone feels you’re there.
I bring violet violets for you
because you’re such a kind being.
I see you.

Never ever judge.
I was standing proud
Holding my newborn in my arms
Looking around if someone was noticing me.
Look at me with this blanket wrapped wonder.
A bud to bloom in life.
I was, in away, a newborn too
No one had prepared me for this.
This feeling…..

When growing up nothing was to much for me.
That proud feeling never left.
I could sit and watch you from afar, thinking God has given me this wonderful human being, happy child.

Then gradually I saw a teenager developing. That came with up and downs.
Not mama’s little child anymore.
I saw you search your way through life
Thinking you knew it all.
Not listening anymore.
Saying,
how could I know better when it was a different time with things I myself didn’t grow up with.

Then bad news knocked on the  door. The unexpected.
The worst.

Mother, father in pain
While writing this I cry.
The proud of your life did something you can’t comprehend.
Very hard to accept. You still can’t understand how this was even possible.
In shock.

Know that this
doesn’t make you a bad parent. Did you fail your child?
Maybe, maybe not.
What happened can be the result of so many things.
When children become adults and doing their own thing,
are in bad company
you have no control over that.
Of course it is wrong and you’re disappointed and sad,
there could have been other solutions. But most things happen in the moment.
Your child failed you.
All your expectations were swept away in one slap.
Like a hurricane destroying everything you build.
It hurts so much….

You want to run away and towards at the same time
You want to yell and scream
and give comfort at the same time
Tell yourself everything is going to be alright.

What happened was wrong.
The parents are the first to acknowledge  that.
The first to feel the guilt.
And for what?
God forbid it doesn’t happen to you
So don’t judge.


Your child will always be your child. No matter what .
There can be a wall between you .
There can be bars separating you,
but the love
will always be there as will be the tears in the eyes and the pain inside.

Child,
Fruit of my womb.
The flower in my life.
No matter what.

Pieces of God
Every minute of the day miracles do happen.
Many aren’t even aware of this.
You yourself can be a miracle to someone else every given day in life.
Just by being there.
listening or helping.
Or just encouraging that it will be alright.
Life is more then just existing for your own.
Miracles come from our own minds
God is inside each of us
When praying we call upon God
When praying with all the faith that’s inside us
we put our minds behind it.
By doing so the healing of ourselves starts and we can help others.
Miracles are in the little things. You have to be open for it to see it.
If someone is down and hurt you have the power to change that.
Just by being there you can make a difference and change someone’s view. Seems nothing but it’s huge.
Miracles don’t have to be big to be a miracle.
Holding someone’s hand and a smile seems nothing, but
a miracle it is
because it’s a connection from deep inside to reach someone deep inside.

Threshold of Love 💘
When in love with forbidden love
Guilty pleasure can begin
As is the beginning of a dark game
Seems exciting, so much passion
In wanting what isn’t yours to begin with.
All the more attracted you are
But know this
It isn’t worth the heartache and the pain
The waiting of two for the same.
In the end everybody loses.
The love, the trust
Many stay broken hearted
in this ugly game.

Never take something
that doesn’t belong to you.
That’s called stealing.
Never betray someone
who trusted you.
That’s called cheating.
Temptations are always there.
Certain things in life are sacred
It ain’t worthy
to lose the good things you already got.

Cherish what you have.

Falling dream from heaven
My dream fell from heaven
right before my eyes
Salmon flooded planet like light
changing tides of waters
Fireball on liquid platinum you float
Seducing me, moon lover,

Wish this night would never pass
Everlasting,
forever before my eyes.
How will I ever sleep again
when all I want is watch you now
shining from nearby.

Take me dream to pleasant dreams
In silence
On  night’s island
where different colored flowers are awake under dark velvet blanket sky
In the presence of white admirals.
Black feline on the hunt

Listening to silent night
of peaceful midnight longings.
Where in my dream I’ll pick for you beautiful wildflowers
Smell the sweet scent of nights air
while waiting for you
in my dream’s dream garden.
