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.

Development
Busses, trains, subways
Loaded with people
No eye contact whatsoever
You feel yourself drowning
Drowning in the crowd
Drowning in isolation .
God for everyone
Everyone for themselves.
Give me back simple life.
Let me return to nature.

So much loneliness in such crowds.

God is in all the unexpected places
In mountain highs
In valley lows
Everywhere He leaves you signs.
In every moment of the day
In every moment of your life.

He is broken
In need of love
Every little gesture
Is never to much
Come along stranger
Look around
Be kind to him
Leave all the virtual behind
Start the healing.

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.

Prelude to inner peace
Preparing me for reflection time

Soon togethernesses
Coziness with

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.

This was written for all the parents out there, whose child committed crime.

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.

Silence before the storm
Six o’clock morning
Half ripen peaches sky
Sign to expect a hot day

Hope there will be a cool breeze.
No movement.
Ominous silence.
Restless birds
Will there be storm?

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,
to come closer
and finally touch my forever delight
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.

Darkest hour
She felt lost
Sadness and despair
In the dark she saw
light spots she never noticed before
Showing her the way
At the bottom she saw handles she didn’t know were  there
To pull herself up
She was surrounded by love.

In your darkest hour
Faith will see you through.

Midnight’s dream garden
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
watching carefully this strange behavior.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Creating moving glittering waters,

With hoarse croak they leave.

For strength and longevity you stand.
