Elegancy 🦢
Over silent waters
The swan is sliding
Nothing seems to be moving
Not even the waters
Soft whispering sounds
as the wind caresses the trees
Full of elegance  she is moving
to meet her mate.
To mate for life.

Swans ,What a beautiful sight
What elegant birds!

Soft moon 🌙
Stroll in the night
Pretty shape of light
Caress you in my imagination
Island in a sea called sky
Let me sleep under beams so tender
I am in love, I surrender.

If I could, if I would.
If I could paint ongoing war
it would be a canvas grey.
If I could paint the children’s hurt,
the sadness in their eyes,
It would be a canvas black,
like eyes without a sight.

If I could paint the hatred
between mankind right now
the canvas would catch fire.
Like bombs and missiles
thrown at innocent homes,
killing everyone with all their desires.

But I would like to paint
the prayers cry for help.
From all who feel your pain,
helpless child in war.
It will be a painting with soft yellow light.
Like a flaming candle in the night.
Canvas black must bathe in this shining glow.
Every prayer like a little star
on a moonless night.
Shedding light on human pain
comforting all children’s sorrow.


And white dove still sits patiently.
Hoping for better times.
To fly and bring green leaves for everyone.
For every little child.

When will the time come for him.
Message he wants to bring
message of world peace.

Children, I pray for you.

Pray for those little ones in these traumatizing times.

Fragrance
Fragrance imbedded in my mind
Fragrance of a very special kind
Like parfume of the cherry blossoms
Rising up to heaven.
Walking through the streets
memories of you and me
connected with this fragrance
Bringing everything back to life
Pleasure, pain and delight.
All feelings
like imbedded fragrance
Stay forever in the mind.
How I loved your fragrance.

Fragrance can bring you back instantly to long forgotten places. Memories of love ones.

Blue dress
Want to make me a dress
With a piece of the sky
Yes that's right
Something heavenly blue
I like to try

Will it feel like silky blue satin
Will it have
cloudy white dots,
warm yellow beams or a
colorful   touch  

Guess it depends on the weather
How it turns out to be
this heavenly dress
exclusively for me

I know!
I'll  make it at midnight!
This blue dress of mine
To have
bright sparkling diamonds
as stars kissing the sky!
'O beautiful
midnight blue dress of mine.

A smile
When you smile
You smile from within
That’s a gesture to someone
Hey, I see you,
hey, I welcome you.
Smile and the world smiles back.

For Richard Shepherd.
I dance the dance of long forgotten flowers
Field of white marigolds
The beautiful sight makes me happy, makes me want to sing and glow.
I am the mary of my garden, sweet mary gold.
I will swirl in the the dance of lovers  up to heaven
Up in golden dress I’ll go.
To a place where all the light is
Where my lovers love will grow.
Flowers gate to lovers heaven
I am mary,
all the way I dissolve and go.
Leave golden sparkles behind me on my field of marigolds.

Seasons 4
Seasons of the weather
Seasons every year
Like the wind blows
in four directions
Different seasons will appear

Seasons of the heart  however
Are seasons of the mind
They come without a warning no direction of any kind

They come and go whenever
Leaving you behind
Behind with different feelings
Such are seasons of the mind

Always listen to your calling
Giving meaning to it all
Then peacefulness will follow
Giving Innerpeace of mind

Innerpeace
most  precious season
of them all.

How beautiful they are!
Precious clouds in the sky

Beloved like a princess
Closer  to heaven
Closer to God.

Walking  through a field of flowers
Where time stands still.
Where there is no yesterday nor tomorrow
A silent promise to fulfill.
Where there is no pain nor sorrow.
A soothing feel is all you

Where peace begins and love   prevails.

Dear oh deer 🦌
Cute little deer with big brown eyes
Lost in the woods , mama couldn’t find.
She was just going for a walk
Little did she knew
that she would get lost

Hypnotized by everything
little deer couldn’t stop the walking
Suddenly mama deer was out
of sight
little bambi was struck with fright

Mama deer searched whole day long
But she knew she had to be strong
After hours of agony
What did she see?
Her little dear deer under a tree

Big silver tears were in her eyes
As there were in Bambies big
brown eyes.
Let me hold you
my sweet little deer
in my arms close to me.
Dear oh deer.

Snowbird in the snow
Snowbird in the snow
Two unique creations

Part 1

White  owl white and pure
Sits and watches .....
falling snow. Quietly.
Snowflakes created uniquely
White, light and heavenly.
Falling down in winter frequently
It was then.....
Snowowl was born silently

Beautifully unique,
don’t know what to say.....
Both Precious creations
Natures art all the way

Part2

Spread your wings
white bird and fly
high into the night and thrive
fly up while snowflakes are  falling down , falling down, falling down!
sky’s own created diamonds .

Majestic bird of wonder
Created so divine
Wings like from  an angel
White as snow so fine

Part 3

When you look up into
night
and  watch skies  falling diamonds.
While Snowowl  flying winter high
You’ll see a precious painting,
on this  blue canvas called the sky
And God our holy painter .

Broken ways
Broken are the days when you’re struggling to survive.
Mentally, physically and financially.
Broken are the nights
Lying in bed all alone, no one by your side.
Broken is this life , full of sadness full of pain.
At the end nothing you have gained.

If only you could have captured the warmth of sun during sunny days.
Could have frozen the beauty of silhouettes in cold winter time.
If only you could have made a song
of the magic of the moon
Could have felt the compassion of others who did really see the true I love you.

You would have known warm days with enchanting nights.
Plenty of people who loved and cared for you.
When living life look at both sides.
Where there is sadness and pain
Happiness and comfort are not far away.
Just stay positive and graceful on your way.
Live life while looking and really seeing what’s around you too.
Life will get a whole other meaning for you.

Always say thanks!
Let us be grateful
Everyday.
For everything that comes
our way.
For every little blessing  and all
kinds of times.
Let’s take life as given
and try to stay kind.
Through rough times we grow
Through rough times we learn
We will fall and learn to stand tall.
Always say thank You
That’s all!!

It’s important to be grateful. With gratitude comes happiness and peace of mind

Deeply in love
Being in love so deeply
so beautiful and intense.
Want to be taken away
by the different winds
To a place unknown
a place far away
Where no one knows
Where no one has to pretend
Where I can be in your arms
and gaze deeply in your eyes
A longing to belong to you
as never known before
To let me take you in my arms
And make you mine.

As long as there is life you can fall in love! For whatever reason for.

Twilight
When the day meets the night
and the sun greets the moon
Something magical happens
It's over too soon

A moment of silence
A colorful sky
The sun closes eyes
and says it's goodbyes

The moon takes over
and watches the birth
of another beautiful nightfall
falling over this earth!

Isn't it a wonderful world?

Lying in a  blossom field

The sun is shining right on me
while a breeze is touching

Ascending up to heaven

while  being quite enchanted.
With you lying here next to me
tenderly caressing cheeks
I am in lovers heaven.

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.

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.

Sometimes you make friends online, talking to them without meeting and then they die.

Feet on soft white sheets
Eyes open wide

Up into the sky
To my Heavenly lover to be.

Must have been God
Sending for me

Send by the Gods
In a white cloud of sheets
eyes open wide ..
Ready for you

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.

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.

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.
