Firefly fever
In darkness you glow
On tall grass you grow
Chemical reactions inside
Lightening up the nights
When  out are all lights
Like little lamp beetles you are
Flying stars under the sky.
Beautiful picture at night.
Firefly fever.

Fireflies are like flying stars under the sky.

Lost man
When you are all alone
Everybody left
Last man standing
Lost, sad…
My friend
Let me hold your hand
and walk with you.
Till the end of being.

Thanksgiving
This year giving thanks ,
has another meaning for many.
It’s harder .
Many are sad  for many reasons
We all lost a certain loved one,  
or our home, our money even our country or all of the above.
The world in pandemic ways
climate disasters .
Refugees..
But......
We  are still here.
People , saved, luck or survival instinct
Sad..
Let’s try to be positive
even in the darkest of time.
It’s hard, yes...
Everything is possible
Make a cave your home.
Bird and fish will come along
When you’re alone all by yourself
so many feelings inside
Seeing like a train passing by
Feelings of sadness, but...
memories of good things are also there.
There are still little things
giving meaning to life, maybe not today but tomorrow.
A new day should still be welcomed with gratitude
despite the pain inside.
Blessings from the light of day.
Twilight eye with staring eye
Nights cold and long.
Hurt and sad
but we still say thanks  for what we ourselves can’t control completely.
Life and Mother Nature.
All that is part of me, all that’s inside of me.
We pray and say thanks.

Thanksgiving, for many a sad day this year. Let’s share..
Life fragile, delicate
Colorful....
Like the wings of a butterfly

Walking in this garden
And the  sun is shining bright putting sparkles on this color
Making it a yellow bright  
It’s been lonely since
you’ve been gone
Wish you were here beside me
to share this heavenly  sight.
I guess you are fine where you are now. Right beside the Light!
In the garden of God it must be colorful and quiet.

Today I’m happy for the first time since you’ve died,
I’m feeling happy and free with
much gratitude inside.
Thanking God for this beautiful day.!
It’s been long but I’m feeling happy with no sorrow.
I’ll pick some of this flower to
bring  a little sunshine back with me and to brighten my life.
It’s already May
and a long time  since you’ve been gone, but I am actually smiling today.

Shell✨🐚
Love is everlasting.
In the darkest of moments
The bud is silent
Still, searching  the light
It grows and blooms
You can too.

We all have hidden strengths inside of us.

Sacrifice
Working hands in prayer
Broken bones, painful joints.
Pin downed art to be admired
For centuries, everlasting.
Gratitude for sacrifice of a brother.
Now,
a way to honor he who set his hands in prayer.
Since the beginning of time hands were put together
while men pray with bowing head .
Till today it’s the same way humans humbly ask in prayer.
All over the world
for centuries,
Praying
for  faith ,
love and  peace.
For strength and guidance.
To never lose hope when in despair.
That we have enough kindness inside to help people in pain and those who suffer.
To be soft inside and always see the good in others and never to judge one another.
That we are forgiven for the things we did wrong
to find peace inside.
That there will be world peace someday.
With bowing head
we still humbly pray today.
Everyday.
It all began with gratitude for sacrifice made by a brother.
It al started with love.

Windows
Looking through the window
Like looking at paintings
Different views every time
So magnificent
A masterpiece
God
the holy painter of all time.

Looking through the window
different phases of my life
before my eyes
like a movie
Like a train passing by
Windows,  the frame
of all the seasons  of my life.


Shell ✨🐚
Like the different seasons our life too have different phases
Waiting in early morning  hour
The sun is still asleep
The fog is very quiet holding its breath
afraid to move the trees.
Smooth waters are still,
not a wind is near.
Mystery of the new day hidden behind curtains of mist.
Where will life’s boat take you, over silent dream under the shadows of big old trees.

It’s time
While she struggles to talk
while holding back  the tears
She bows her head
whispering
You can hardly hear.
Don’t  have the courage to interrupt
Afraid she’ll be silent again.
So you make an effort to follow
her story.
It’s time.
For her to tell
For me to listen.

Shell ✨🐚
Often it takes a lot of courage for women to tell their story, their pain.
Always listen without judging!
Always keep an open mind.

Protect our child 👶
A child should be happy , loved and free.
To become a trusting stable adult as the world likes to see.
Being *****, abused or neglected  creates an adult filled with hate,
will make history repeating itself over and over again!
Protect our child!

Snapshot of nature
A divine painting in Earths frame
Morning dew, no one knows what story lies behind today.
Mountains afar waiting for warmth of the day.
Trees in all kinds of green standing still waiting for a breeze to let the music in.
Rustling leaves whispering messages from deeds of mankind.
Happiness, sadness, good luck or bad .
For all of us the same.

Writing
When the world seems dark
No light within,
locked up inside
You can’t talk,
that’s the time to begin .
Write down what you feel
what’s hidden inside
You will start to feel free,
Start to heal
By writing down
you release yourself
of what’s a burden inside
The first step
to be free.

Little gestures
One simple flower, a kind word,
a melody
a song, a smile.
From someone for someone
A hello, a goodbye
Can make someone’s day.
Be that someone today.

Solitude in December
Cotton wool landscape,
silent music of the howling wind brings
Shivering cold melody from afar
Nights winter in the heart
Jasmine fragrance
bringing old memories back in time
Sitting alone at night wondering.
All peace and quiet,
time stands still
Midnight blue sky
Snowflakes falling, like little white diamond stars
The mind is wandering off.
To places deep within.
See
Beautiful Christmas tree
It’s warm and cozy in there.
Hear a familiar song
People sitting by the fire, talking and laughing.
Hidden red tears
Never reaching the eyes.
No Christmas tree more,
those times are gone.
Let this month pass quickly so life can go on
No need to remember moments that are long gone.



Shell✨🐚
Many are alone in December.
For many a difficult time.
Especially the elderly who have no one
The homeless who once had it all
Let’s care.

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.

Moon beams
Feelings of love
After our enchanted night
You watched me sleep with magic delight
For the moon never beams
without bringing me dreams
Stories untold, passion unfold
Make me daydream till
nightfall
till we meet again .....
Then once again I’ll fall
under your spell
magical dreams
under your smile.
Warmth of your beams,
puts me to sleep
Into dreams garden I’ll go
Where my lover I meet
I’ll be there till golden dawn
Moon in early morning light
Promise you hold
to welcome the sun
Welcome the day
Say goodbye once again
to our enchanted night.

In the moment.
Sitting by the window
Staring at the sea
Can’t help myself
so much feelings inside of me
Thinking of old times
How everything went by
Time is a factor not waiting
for no one to come by
Sitting at my window
Looking at the sea
Seeing like a train passing
pictures of you and me
Feelings of sadness, happiness , gratitude
Overwhelming me

Sometimes in life you are overwhelmed by emotions!! Thinking of things that gone by!

The buzzing bee 🐝
The bud was asleep
for such a long time
Waited so long for the season
to shine
Then comes the time she is trilled to be

Can’t wait to become a flower
To show off her beauty
For the whole world to see.
Specially to be kissed by the bees

No one knew she waited so long
For this special buzzing bee
to come along
She opened all petals
Beautiful colors to see
Lovely fragrance ascending
To attract her bee
Finally

The beautiful flower was kissed by her sweet love
the buzzing bee.

Moments a day
Moments
Of sorrows, receiving bad news.
Moments
Of pain, losing someone.
Thousands of feelings
A moment a day
Moments
Of happiness, a baby is born
Moments of joy
you find your loved one.
Many people
Who want to die,
life too unbearable,
don’t want to try.
Who want to live,
life is a blessing, want to give.
So many things happening
In a moment a day.
Moments of beauty of sorrow
and pain
Of gratitude and grace
Moments of love still remain

Each and every day
Let’s cherish each other
Every moment of the day
Life can be over in a
moment
Any day.

Don’t walk on eggshells all the time

You are love, you are light
Walk on solid ground
leave a sparkle behind.
everywhere you go.

Unity, only through love
Sailing  towards
the never reaching horizon
Flying to
the devine sunset
Reaching for the untouchable moon at night
Looking at the stars making wishes
Searching for a rainbow
in the dark
Praying to the higher One.
Living life in all it ups and downs
Always looking always searching
Let’s hold hands
together
All human kinds
Be one
We all are walking towards
the same horizon.
Citizens of the same world we all are.
Eventually we all die.

Let’s be good to one another and make the world a wonderful place for all of us.

Moon encounter.
Dark saffron moon,
clear and naked,
without cloudy clothing.
Bright as flaming sun on hot windless day.
Floating on dark blue waters.
Translucent wind, soft and silent.
Silky satin touching skin.
Standing there admiring you,
both perfectly still.
You hang so low, or so it seems,
want to touch your apricot like velvet skin.
In my mind I kiss you one more time
before everything changes.
Till after two decades we’ll meet again.
