Self destruction
Here I stand
In sun and rain
What’s left of me
You didn’t care
to take care of me
Come closer, don’t you see
It’s you
You’ve hurt yourself
along with me.


Shell ✨🐚
By not taking care of nature we are destroying ourselves.

Classic Christmas card
Falling cotton dots from above
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 ,
no movement
Frozen leaves
When evening falls
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.

Silent Prayer
Child in warmth or cold.
War and homelessness
with Christmas
please no more
We all deserve light.

Children must be
warm and safe
Around the Christmas tree.
No more pain and fear.
Feeling safe.

Cold white winter night
sharing food
open presents
classic Christmas Eve.
That’s how it’s supposed to be.



Shell✨🐚
Wishing all of you a peaceful Christmas weekend and a blessed and safe time.

Let the blind show you.
Sitting in a tree the blind owl
saw everything the bat didn’t see.
It didn’t matter if it was day or night .

Quote 155🌷


To do good
Live a life in service of others.
Helping those in need,
those who can’t help themselves.
For that,
one doesn’t need seeing eyes
but a good heart.
When the eyes don’t see
the inner eye takes over.
In darkness one can not only hear more
but feel more too.

I don’t see but let me show you the way.

Many religious people go to church and pray everyday but don’t love their neighbors.
We have to change our ways.




Shell ✨🐚
Always do good . At least try.
Praying alone isn’t enough .

Makes me daydream all day long
Peddling over still waters
In our wooden canoe to a destiny under the sun.

Lavender sky.
The sun wanted to sleep.
Before saying goodbye
blushing Sun painted the sky.
Fragrance of colors filling the blue ceiling
with touches of yellow, orange and pink.
Bluish purple was born and aromatic lavender perfumed the air.
Welcoming the night.

Snowdrops
Early joy of spring
Wants to say goodbye to all that’s cold
Little wildflowers are born
breaking through the snow
To remind us that spring is
near
First snowdrops appear
Beautiful wildflower hangs its head down while rising up.
Purity of fresh landscapes from white to soft pastel.
Out of the dark into the light
color is near
Giving hope,
Making us thankful and happy .
Soon daffodils will appear.


Shell✨🐚
Spring is near.

Together apart
In my sleep
That’s when we meet.
That’s when I see.
With all the clarity of daylight.
With all the mystic mysteries of night.
The answers to all the riddles
unspoken.
Let me wipe the tears.
Let me take you by the hand.
You’re not alone.
You see when I close my eyes
I’m with you
All along in a never ending song.
As a jewel buried within.
In the heart forever.
Because true love knows no distance.

Love overcomes every hurdle every distance !!

Autumn of life.
Golden bronze haze.
Soft embrace, hold me tight.
Cold breeze.
Take a walk towards life’s winter.
Watch all the trees changing.
Like goals of life, not achieved.
From gold to terracotta to earth.
Traveling leaves.
Shattered dreams.
Still…
Elegance in born bold silhouettes.
Nature’s wonder on repeat.
Life’s light will light up again.
Warm coat, comfortabel boots.
Hugging shawl in cool colors.
Take a walk, look around.

Be thankful
to be part of this creation.
Live your seasons of life well.
They pass so quickly.

Human
A soul in pain
Broken by the many
unseen scars
Bleeding heart
Searching for relief
In the dark we hide
like a broken animal
While some sing a sad song
and others pray.

Enough
I see you
You see me.
There will come a time
that
you’ll see
that  that’s enough.
To really see,
and to know,
that it will be
you
I’ll be thinking of
at my last hours….



Shell ✨🐚
When you know you know.
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.

Always try to enjoy all of nature.

Midnight hour
Deserted streets
Some bursting with life
Food streets
Money to earn
While tasting cultures
Children asleep.
Many
are born, others die.
Crimes which
couldn’t see daylight
Homeless on streets in the cold.
Dogs keep barking
Birds sitting quiet
Couples making love
Others trying to sleep.

My love for you is strong.

Winter nights
Shivering spirits in the blackness of Earth
Auras crowned with white cold diamonds
Falling from heaven to cover the earth
Angels watching,
looking through windows ,
at all the beauty and coziness inside.
Many homeless searching places
to lie down in freezing night.
Winter nights
with different meaning
for all that’s different in this life.
Candles flicker in the wind
Bringing light and warmth
on cold nights
Let us be a candle for each other
on cold long winter nights.
You feel happy , you feel sad
when you think about all that’s going on in winter,
especially at night.

New morning
Walking in the early morning
Before the sun showed up
With dew in my hair
While birds are not yet flying
It’s so calm out here
I can smell the freshness
of wet grass and clean  air
Heavy scent of blossoms
Waiting for the sun to rise
To open all the patels to become
a colorful paradise
I welcome you beautiful new morning
with happiness and gratitude.


Shell ✨🐚
Always be thankful for the new day.

Autumn of day.
Time stands still.
Kayaking to the horizon, you can only hear last birds calling.
The sun is setting peacefully
while nightfall will soon begin.
It’s autumn of day.
Calming waters leading way
to soft endless skyline.
Looking at the cloudy cotton candy sky
night rain is in the air.
Promising a cozy night
with soothing sounds to sleep.
Lullaby for humankind
as long as humans be.
The sun is almost gone leaving
a fading yellow crown.
Remember me, I was here.
And lingers on.
I look around, hold my breath
say a silent prayer.
It’s times like this that I realize how precious this Earth is
as is the Creator.

While writing this I think of all the disasters.
Let’s take care of Earth.
Nature is beautiful but is can be very forceful and
without mercy. A very scary thing.

Light within ✨✨✨✨
Then all the lights went out.
Silence.
I saw all stars above.
Heard the sounds of nature.
A white bird flying in the dark.
Coocoo calling owl, dogs barking.
Baby cry from afar.
I was at peace.
I had the light within .

Time, can’t be saved
Life, how much time left.
Can’t stop it, can’t save it.
Can’t reverse it.
Love, the key to all doors in life.
Faith the fundament to stand on.
Love is a mix of magic and commitment.
Live every moment the fullest
We all have a birthday.
We all have a death date.
In between life happens
Fate through Faith
Passing time until it’s time.
You can’t cheat that
You can’t cheat death.
When your time stands still
While the clock is ticking
then your time is up.
Hold my hand
You will feel my voice
You will feel my love
The stream of love creates a song.
That stays in the heart forever.
When eyes turn blind for light of life
Eternal sight takes over.
The love you felt in spirit and mind
Still there when  crossing over.
Still many have regrets
If only we could have saved time to do certain things over.



Shell ✨🐚
We’re here for a certain amount of time.
Treasure it. Cherish each other.

Deep in me is....
a reflection of you

The one watching
One single eye
Watching everything  
Seeing al the bad

Robbery, abuse, ****

Doing good without gain
You can’t hide from His eye
At night when the moon
is there.

Heavenly blue
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 te 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.

Dream day
When we’re asleep
And the nights are heavy with fog
that’s when our dreams are
awakening and another
dream day takes off.

It’s a whole other world
Where everything impossible
possible now
Where dreams are no dreams
but reality now
Where everything you wish for comes true  and everything
negative a positive somehow

When you wake up
with a smile on your face
You’ve been visiting dreamworld today.
Wondering why the hell did I wake up!!
Sometimes dreamworld is the better world to stay.
Especially nowadays!!!

Have you ever been in a field of flowers,
Yellow flowers in the sun!
Did you know they are always

Always turning to the sun

Always sharing all the light.
That’s what love should be between us
like those flowers in the sun
Together
always sharing always caring
always turning to the Light
What a beautiful sight!

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 “

Green summer
with warm sparkling sunbeams
Shining like Christmas bells do in Christmas trees
Lying in a  pine tree field
While a cool breeze is touching me.
Eyes closed pretending to be asleep while listening to the
chirping birds
Happiness inside of me
while you’re touching my cheeks
Warm hands on my cold skin
That’s how it all begins
Let the sun shines through
Let the summer begin for me and you.
Feels like Christmas in summertime for me.

Autumn magic 🍂 🍁
Lay me down on golden song.
To be gently kissed by a silk breeze of cold.
Shivering trees are watching.
Yellow orange lights,  flickering.
Giving a coziness.
Inviting togetherness going into the white.
A warm hug is needed as is a mug of hot cocoa.
