Climate change ( haiku)
trembling fire smog
orange mirror in sun waves
abandoned flood land




Shell ✨🐚
And I danced and danced on rug of green so light
On music so happy what a delight
My feet barely touching ground
I looked around, sweet fragrance
beautiful flower park
I was the swan at the lake, gracefully moving
Closed my eyes then the music changed….
Soft sounds entered my mind
Giving me peace
I realized I danced no more
Standing still, my being still moving.
Carried by this soft melody
Opened eyes, and there I was
in fall’s colored garden.
Yellow, orange golden brown
Leaves were falling softly
Realized how tired I was
Lay me down under golden tree
in arms of leaves
warming colder me
I fell asleep.

We always grow
First tall then old.
While the mind stays

Wisdom through tears
Life with pain
Growing old
Tears fading
Wisdom scars remaining
like the

Tears
Blurred moon
Are there tears in your eyes
Or is it me crying?
Veiled vision,
Hidden pain
Leaves
falling raindrops.
Tears from up above
Sadness in the air.

The kiss
Why do you watch openly from afar but getting closer you got so shy.
Hiding behind the tree
Afraid I’m going to touch thee
I guess I want a kiss from you
A kiss is just a kiss
Or a sign
When it’s more then what it seems
and
butterflies are not death but still alive
It’s the beginning of something new.
A touch of the heart.


behind a cloud you hide
in my dreams I search for you
lingering moon love

Coelacanth ( haiku)
deep sea wonder fish
living  oldest extinction
ancient coelacanth

Shell ✨🐚
Fossil fish that was thought to have been extinct for 65 million years but still around. Older then the dinosaurs .
It was an intense heatwave before.
The Earth warming, cooking, boiling.
Water cooks over.
Silence.
Then it rained and rained, it didn’t  stop.
From heatwave to heavy rain to flood.
Flood created an ocean where millions of people lived.
Source of outbreaks,
disease, famine, homelessness
poverty of the poor.
What have these innocent people done?
But isn’t it we, the people who don’t care! To let it come this far knowing what causes extreme changes in weather everywhere?
Many lost their lives,many their homes.
Desperate people
Children with fear
Forever traumatized, not knowing what to do or where to go.
No home, no food , the lost of loved ones, all in one.
Can’t grasp fully the impact yet.
In shock, can’t feel a thing.
Yet many tears,
so much sadness in the air
Forever traumatized ….
Earth in need of change to survive.

There is unbearable heat.
Unstoppable fire
Flood creating oceans
Weather disasters everywhere
How can one not see.
If world leaders don’t change their priorities
whole planet Earth will be flooded when they decide to take care.
Today it’s Pakistan, next?

Black sheep
Originality is what makes you special.
To stand out in a herd of sheep
Yes you can be the only black sheep. Hold your head up, walk with dignity and be proud of who you are.
Always appreciate that special feature, that special quality that makes you you.
Don’t even try to be like others
Uniqueness is what stands out.
Rather to be yourself by
yourself then to try to look like someone you’re not, just to belong.
You are enough for yourself as you are.

In a field of roses all people see is the one dancing wildflower.



Shell ✨🐚
Don’t change , just be who you are. You are enough as you are for yourself

Flaming sunset 🌅
Bright colored painting in the sky
With flaming streaks sun says goodbye
Flying ducks in a hurry
they’re not home yet
Elegant standing tree’s silhouettes
Mirror image in still lake
Creating two sunsets if that’s what it takes
to pin this image for eternity to see.
Beauty of nature, the hope that it will always be.
Peaceful feelings is what I get
looking at this wonderful  creation
of God’s palette.

Love lost in darkness
Low hanging flower
From the sun you hide
Afraid losing yourself  completely
In butterfly eyes.
Sharp pain deep within
when true love stays hidden from
daylight.

Great egret
Morning sunbeams on peaceful streams
Creating moving glittering waters,
changing dewdrop leaves in golden nuggets
Between shining gems the birds take off
Flying gracefully towards the sun
where breeding time awaits
With hoarse croak they leave.

Great egret,
symbol on more then one coin
For strength and longevity you stand.

Freeze
In a life
where being social
means nothing more
then being on social media
Where we are nothing more
then written profiles
Where people pretend
knowing other people
Surrogate of the real thing
Pollution of social skills
Leaving one lonelier then ever.

Caresses on beaches sunset
As the wind blows
at the birth of night
at beaches view
Love and passion flare up
like a flame on smoldering fire
Feel the breeze
like soft red silk caresses
on my naked skin,
watching the horizon disappear.

Lover’s garden
In the garden of my dreams
I dance amongst the flowers
In anticipation of the one to meet
Who will visit my dream garden.
Many flowers with different colors ,
up to heaven their scent will rise
Flower’s gateway to my lover’s heart leading  me straight into his arms.
Garden of Eden in my mind.
Hear the song of passion playing
Calling me in my sleep to hear
I’ll meet you there  in lover’s garden.
Be my Adam I’ll be your Eve.

Moon smile 😊
I was searching for the Moon above in coral blue sky
Suddenly I saw one big yellow eye
hanging low, watching me walk
A “ wow “ is all I could say.
I was surprised and happy to see
my Moon where I didn’t expect her to be.
Moon you are leaving to welcome the Sun
but already made my day so
thank you for making me smile.

Ocean at twilight
Ocean waves are restless
It’s that time of the day when the sea waits for the moon to rise
For turning tides and changing surface
to yellow sparkles
Like stars born in liquid gold
The sky says goodbye to sun closing eyes while leaving brushes of bright orange behind
Low hanging clouds like flying dark ducks as if wanting to get home before falling of dark
Mountains afar are turning grey
Going out of sight
It’s time for the lingering love between nightfall and waves
when twilight sets in
at ocean’s side.

Miss you
My heart aches,
eyes filled with tears
Every time I come home
My eyes search for you
I expect  to hear you bark
come to me with wiggling tail
Happy to see me.
Now it’s silent
I almost asked
Where is he?
Every time you would wait for me
to eat together
Yes it was stressful at the end
But how I miss you my faithful friend.
How I miss you when I come home and you’re not there.
Every time .

Two little spots
I have a little white pekingese
with just one black spot right on top.
One day I lost my spot
and when calling her...
There came another spot.
A little black pekingese
with just one white spot right on top.
Then I saw this handsome boy walking with my spot.
We both started laughing
a beginning of something new
Now when I call my dog I get to little spots.

Breathtaking
Wild mustangs
Running wild in the wild with elegancy
Golden eagle flying high gracefully
Breathtaking view from above
Observing through openings of
dense fog between the mountain tops
Like slowly moving low hanging clouds
Golden eagle and wild mustangs
Both such gracious beings.
Precious heaven and Earth.

Let’s
Cherish our beautiful world

Walking under cherry blossom trees
Walking
Looking at morning moon
In early light of day
Saw little hill like dunes
shining in moonlights charm.
The moon was in the center of this beautiful halo frame
Couldn’t stop looking
At landscapes in morning sky
coming to life  and making my day.

Reading, mind travel
And by reading she lived it all.
She was there, she was she.
And the whole world opened.
You are what you read
what you know
what you imagine.
Set free mind, body and soul.
Let behind the world you’re in.
Go to places in your mind, see!
And you’ve been there.
