Lavender
Queen flower
Royal color so refine
Elegant you stand in early morning dew
Your soft scent reaches heaven’s gate
Blending in silence with the divine.
Tenderness in nature’s ways.

To heaven you rise
falling in love
Floating,
all  gravity gone.
Uplifting cloud,  
you are in love
Will gravity pull you
back to the ground.
Will Butterflies stay
or will they be gone.
Will falling in love
be true love.
Will you stay in heaven
Forever.



Shell✨🐚
Sometimes you fall in love deeper and deeper.

The swan 🦢
In silent waters I move gracefully
Long necked swan with elegant ways
I glide , not a ripple I make
Passing valleys low and mountains high
As witnesses they stand
While finishing my way
In early moonlit hours to meet my King of life.

Sand clouds.
Shields,
To hide behind
or protect against.
Promises are made
on daily basis .
To cease fire…
while many more
are  being killed.
On daily basis.

Sending food for the
hungry ones,
Little ones running miles
to get there
only to be bombed on
empty stomach.
World where is your humanity.
To let this happen.
Do we care?

Make a cloud of sand
with beautiful promises.
Only to stand behind it and watch.
While children are dying.
Unbelievable.



Shell ✨🐚
We are talking…
Beautiful words
while the killing of people,
children, keeps going on.
Humanity, where is your core.
Human ;rights, no more.
Powerless.
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

Quote 61🌷
Live today then you’ve done it all!
Every today is a yesterday and tomorrow, someday.

Shell✨🐚
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?

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.

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.

Rainbow candy
Yum, when I look above
I see cotton candy in the sky
With imagination I see
Ice cream castles and
soft gummy bears, oh my!
But when I see a rainbow I can taste the colors, sour to sweet
A real candy ribbon that’s what I see.
All kinds of fruit in a long bubble gum.
Yes I almost taste it and it makes me smile.

What a beauty
showing off in nature
Life is full of this surprises
as is nature’s way.
Bloom and make my day
Like little colorful presents
Presented to us everyday
Let us look around
See what nature has to offer
A  variety of all flowers
A good reflection of all humans beautiful in their own special way.

Little great orchid
Proud you stand on sunny days
Bright colorful queen.

Ancient history always here
It’s part of us , we carry it everywhere.
Melancholic melody of life
coming back to us time after time.
It’s in the song of breath
of all living things
and the silent memory of our lost loved ones
We never will forget.
As long as there is Mother Earth there will be flowers everywhere,
as there will be wars no matter what.
Because ..
we don’t listen, we don’t learn.

Flowers for young girls everywhere
Young girls for young men how they care
Young men for wars to fight for peace.
Because that’s what they have
to do .

Mothers lose sons
Women lose loved ones
Young ones lose fathers
Field without flowers
Taken
Only graveyards to see
Graveyards to reach peace.
And then everything went silent.
Left, a heart filled with pain
Eyes filled with tears.

Then, song on repeat
Field of flowers once again
Ancient history today next to where we stand
And the young girl runs once again
to pick some flowers
from a field with blooming colors

In every flower lies the spirit of all of holy ground.
Those who gave their lives come see them when you watch a field of flowers.

Let His word breathe within.
To make all that is bad, go away
To set us free from evils game,

Hold close to you , what He stands for.
Let His light in,

Now we can walk the darkest of paths
without fear
When God is near.

True love, forever young.
Treasured dreams.
Disappearing behind fog of life.
Blurred vision
trying to see through curtain
of falling night.
Mystery promise made
Anticipation growing
Flourishing awaits

In lover’s close embrace
Dark of night turns in
light of day and
flowers smile.
Dreams came true last night.
Counting hours passing by
Anticipation for once again
a passionate night’s delight.

Time passes while
love stays young forever.

What have we done to this Earth
Crying people
Dying animals

Bleeding world
Fires and floods the norm
The end of all living things is near
Flowers hang their head in pain

Only waste no light
Only money nothing to gain
When will wise men
be wise
and follow the star
“Common sense “
To save this world and
allow peace on Earth.

History
Going with a little canoe over the river to the unknown, big waves and some dolphins to see.
Enjoying the view had no clue where we would go.
Ended up where there were fishermen.
Fishing and searching for *****
Then we walked under beautiful big old trees, saw the destination right before me.
A museum under open sky with things from our natives, slavery and from
the war.
Saw wigwams covered in dry leaves and colored tents. Many cannons  and prisons as to expect in battle land.
It was a memory lane through history.
Very special and precious so much to learn and to see.
Still a romantic date it was, taking a stroll under old trees, on a sunny day with a breeze from the sea.
It was a date with historical value
The date now also history.

Tender is the soul.
Tender is the soul
hidden in it’s core
Tender is the soul
of those who
lived through pain
and used all tears
Who seem hard now.
Tender is the soul
while there is no softness
left  in the eyes
For he learned long ago
how to hide.
Still... tender is the soul.
All it takes is love and he will cry.

Simplicity
Be simple
like the bird sitting quietly
in the tree
before nightfall.
Like the first peep
of flowers bloom
Bow your head in gratitude
Always say thank You.
Be soft at heart
Inner peace will come to you.
What one needs
Is simpleness
to let real beauty of life
come through.
Love each other,
hold hands in time of need.
It’s that simple.

From the deepness of the blue
She arises to heaven.
Blue to blue
Smiling and inviting you
Mermaid of sea

Swirling dolphin of the deep
Want to see the beauty underneath
Come and take a  dive with me
To the depth of oceans blue
Where the real  treasures are

Life colorful and diverse
A real fantasy world out there
Many different corals and fish
Into the deep , underneath
Where life once began.

Night call
Will I get some sleep tonight
While there is such a
tempting night oudside.
Looking through my bedroom window
Inviting sky
moon  disguise and lots of stars
giving me this restless feeling
to flee into the night
meet  the love I never found
Hear the wind passing by
trees are gently moving
leaves rustle softly
while an owl is calling  
creating this soothing melody
Holding a long lost promise
A nightsong  calling out for me
to put at rest
all the restlessness in me
dejavu feelings as in my dreams
I dream forever.

Blooming fields of love
When the sun shines
All buds feel a tickling love
Warm beams, urging them to awaken.
Open your eyes look at me.
Trees are happy, waving in the wind.
Some are just standing elegantly still
Showing off their bloom.
Mellow to strong fragrances fill the air
Making bees and butterflies busy and wild.
It’s their time in paradise
To make sure everything blooms before summer is over.


My love
With you I always am
like a tree in full blossom
May I caress your eyes
every season of life
Give you comfort
with my shadow
For always.

So much so.......
Everytime you are broken
So much so that you must cry
Everytime you are broken
So much so  you fall apart
Fall apart
in so much pieces.
So much so you want to die
Everytime you are broken
So much so .......
It’s time to write
Write it down
its time for healing
So much so
to never again
fall apart.

Shell✨🐚
The healing power of writing.
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 .

Flourishing in my own way.
Standing in the shadow of life.
I watch others flourish in warmth of light.
Happy to be part of this wonderful world.
Full of color and sound.
Giving me peace just being.
Enjoying all little things,
miraculous and beautiful.
I’m mourning but still
blooming from gratitude,
living inside of me.
For everything that is and was.

When being aware of all little blessings despite all the grief there is in this world, in our life,  you can flourish. Be thankful, always.
I dance the dance of my ancestors .
Wear my culture as my skin
Present myself with all emotions
In honor of those  before me ,
roots of my standing tree.
The ones  who live through me forever in my genes they  be.
It is the dance of unspoken promise
A song of love from deep within
I’m happy , alert
and free in waiting .
To come and take me far away
Flying high as eagle birds do
Hear the longing in the rhythm
In this golden eagle dance
For you my love , my country
I am in full display.

Blind bats going wild,
