Nature’s breathtaking Christmas image.
Snow covering mountain top
reaching grey sky.
At the foot of these majestic creations
different sizes pine trees,  
in between a blanket of velvet cold
creating this peaceful Noel view.
Streaming like a jewel ribbon
through white valley land,
aquamarine colored waters.
Hidden between these high mountains
are lakes of heaven land.
Watch in admiration ,
hear
the stillness of the wind.
Feel closer to God .





Shell ✨🐚
Low hanging
Full crystal moon
Almost wet kiss on moving waters
Make stars close their eyes
Glow of blushing tide.


Shell ✨🐚
Special bond between moon and sea
Future roses in morning dew
Waiting
For light of sun to shine
To bring new hope each day
For blooming of rose gardens
rituals all the way
Gardens golden time
Splendor of roses
Caressing the eyes
Soothing the mind


Shell✨🐚
Day ends
Night  falls
A dog barks
A baby cries
A mother with  tired feet
A father frustrated
ends didn’t meet.
Still  sitting together
Having a simple meal
Still praying together
Still thanking
For another day.

Shell ✨🐚
Life becomes a routine
That’s not a bad thing if you think about it. Finding comfort in the routine
Every day life
Lovely ancient woodland wildflower,
protected you are.
Velvet sea of blue you can create
Your bell like appearance makes you look sad
It’s not because of the upcoming sun
you hang your head
It’s just the way you thrive
In partial shade.
Still you grow too where waters meet land
For humility and gratitude you stand
and the world loves you.





Shell ✨🐚
The Bluebell, a protected wildflower.
Seems purple in light of sun.
While grieving be gentle to yourself
The one your grieving for is no more but at Peace.
Find that place inside you
where there is the memory
All  the beauty that once was.
Sacred altar of the heart.
Will live in you forever.
Death where is your home
if not within the memory
of the ones you loved so dearly.
Fruit of your womb
who will carry you now.

Shell ✨🐚
For my friend J
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.



Shell ✨🐚
This is inspired by the famous drawing of “Praying Hands” by Abert durer and the story behind it.
When you leave
Only sadness and tears
Knowing you can go on
without me.
The world and my dreams
turn black and white
The stars have lost their sparkle.


Shell ✨🐚
Sadness and heartache
Look at me
How beautiful I am
lushes and so green
roots big and shiny
Now I am sad
I’m standing all alone
There were many more
I’m all that’s left over
Don’t hurt me  
you are hurting yourself
and this whole wide world.

Shell ✨🐚
Only a green life can save us
Ghostlike appearances,
next to each other.
Without seeing or talking
Only sharing with the world.



Shell ✨🐚
All people do is look at their phones
From early morning till late at night.
It’s getting colder
Autumn is around the corner.
Green leaves leave.
Orange, golden to brown to see.
Scents of earth come along
with terracotta colors,
fragrance of hay
Mint like cool in the wind
touching the skin.
Peppermint taste in my mouth
At home smell of baked potatoes,
chocolate and cinnamon welcome me.
I know an apple pie is in the oven.



Shell  ✨🐚
Welcome autumn.
You came to the never ending
waters of sea
Searching the core, something ,
a mystery
Only to be welcomed to what was meant to be
New world of colors and bliss
First time breath freely in ocean depths.
Sea lover

Shell✨🐚
A metaphor . In life listen to your heart. Do what you always wanted to do.
Bloodshed on living walls.
In the name of light of peace.
Searching hands in yellow clouds.
Reaching for the untouchable men behind the gate.
Not knowing what they are doing.
Where they are going.
Man versus man.
I meet you on the battle field.
Look at me .
I am you .
Both lost in this political game.
Let the bloodshed stop.
Let us go together to only light
To brotherhood.
Heal everything that’s broken.
No more darkness behind closed doors.

Where Peace on Earth awaits.


Shell ✨🐚
When will we see…..
Seasons of the heart.
are like seasons of the weather.
Always changing.
Always coming back.
No matter what!!

Shell ✨🐚
As long that there is life we will have the same feelings over and over again
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.

Shell ✨🐚
In the midst of summer heat
I dream of autumn colors.
Wanted to be on my parents farm again
by the big oak tree turning golden orange.
Many memories and longings overwhelming me.
It was there that I drew a heart together with my young forever love.
I can still smell the scent of hay in the barn
where I had my first kiss lying in his arms.
Precious are those moments back in mother’s kitchen, where we made shepherds pie, boiled potatoes
on an open fire.
Long gone are those days, still part of my everyday living.
There is where my core is,
part of me wants to go back.
Mountain’s view,
pine trees standing tall in silence.
Dear deer walking by looking at me with big dark eyes.
I feel tears falling.
I hear my mother calling
For me to come inside and leave this town behind.


Shell ✨🐚
We always long to go back home.
Where it was warm and safe.
The one you love
so passionately
Is coming like the wind
Leaving you behind with
just a breeze....
till we meet again
Oh take me wind
along with you
to great hights let me fly
Let me lay down in your
breath
Gaze deeply in my eyes.
Let me be your sea my love
The force behind your force
That’s what love is supposed
to be....
Oh secret love of mine!

Shell ✨🐚
Sometimes we love in silence
Squirrel store food
Pure nature move
for survival
As mustangs untamed
As bats blind during the day
acting like bees during the  night
maintaining this beautiful midnight flower splendor in desert land.
Flamingos are what they eat
Doing a ritual circular dance to find their mate.
The swan moving graciously
Not even moving the waters
to meet a mate for life
A lonely tree once green and lushes.
Many destroyed because of sour rain and human greed
Blue green waters
Disappearing slowly, everywhere pollution,
killing everything beatiful.
Sky ,different  kinds of blue
Nature , Godmade, Godgiven
A blessing to us all
Let’s handle it with care and the respect it deserves.



Shell✨🐚
Looking at nature. A wonder.
Let’s take care of  our beautiful nature.
Fresh morning
Bluest of skies
Not one cloud to be seen
The sun in your eyes
Warm breeze
Beach sand tickling the feet
Close your eyes
Let it be
Do what you must today
Have fun
You don’t know what will come your way
You don’t know what tomorrow brings
and ...... if it comes along.
So.....
Carpe diem!!


Shell ✨🐚
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.
You can only give
what you yourself have.
To give love
Love yourself first.
To be kind
Be kind to yourself first.
To mean something to anyone
Treasure yourself first!!!
This makes you a happy person.

Shell ✨🐚
you can’t give what you yourself don’t have.
She picked a flower
and put it in her hair
She felt beautiful.
They laughed at her at school.
It didn’t matter.
She smiled and the flower smiled too.



Shell ✨🐚
Always know your self worth.
What others think of you is their problem.
Autumn is here look around
A different view appears
Summer is gone
Other feelings arrive
Time to slow down
Take it all in,  adjust your pace
Green leaves leave
Landscapes are down
All one of a kind
Different shades is what you see
Beautiful leafless tree shapes appear
look with an open mind
The beauty of a greenless land, behold
different shades of brown and gold
Caressing the eyes.
Sooting the mind
Feeding  the soul.
It’s time for coziness inside
Time for peace of mind



Shell ✨🐚
Different season different feelings.
When  looking with
eyes closed  and open mind
you can see perfection coming together.
A sooting calmness within.
The way it was in the very beginning.....
When  everything was pure.
Immaculate like the ****** Mary.
When all souls were filled with light.
Feeling the wind caressing
while listening to the sounds
of nature
Putting you  in a state of meditation.
Love, winning field  over all the hatred
Light, taking over
Nothing but peaceful bliss


Shell ✨🐚
Looking at nature can give you this feelimg.
Standing on one foot
in the rain
Who is to blame
Holding out a hand
for a dole
or..... for another hand
to hold
to help go
People just passing by
Looking away
To avoid
eye to meet eye
Who’s to blame?
We hide in shame.

Shell ✨🐚
People look away most of the time if they see someone in need  on the street!
I guess they don’t feel comfortable being confronted with it.
Soft smile in pastel color
Under sun so bright
Waited forever all evening
to bloom in shining light
Then someone
killed a living dream
Sad and shattered feelings
Still the scent will linger
Cause a rose it is.

A rose will always be a rose.

Shell ✨🐚
To shine
face the sun
To glow
Come out in the dark
let the moon
enhance your colors
let  the stars sparkle
you with showers.

Shell ✨🐚
If you want to accomplish something you have to do your part
In the comfort of the dark we stand
To the light we grow
All in need of love
To  find our true self and shine.



Shell✨🐚
Almost my whole life
I’ve been writing
short simple lines for myself
I love all little beautiful things surrounding me.
Love to look and discover
all the beauty in nature
It makes me so happy.
I know there is so  much going on in this world where we’re living in. Things that make you really sad!
But then I saw a documentary
today...
And all I can say
I can’t post a quote today.

Shell ✨🐚
We don’t know what’s going on in several places in this world. I mean you think you know. Until you see it.
The moon watched him every night.
He looked up and searched with his eyes.
Told her he was lonely.
If she had seen his love.
That’s when she knew
she was falling in love
Shy moon
hid behind the clouds.

Shell ✨🐚
The moon watched her every night.
She looked up and searched with her eyes.
He  was sure she was looking at him.
Even could hear her talking .
Talking in such a sweet voice
Told him she was lonely
if he had seen her love
That’s when he knew
He was falling in love
Falling in love with  big sad eyes.
Shy moon
hid behind the clouds.

Shell ✨🐚
The magic of the moon
Colorless land
Deep under
fertile ground
One
Flower in the dark
grows
Like a shining light
In search of light
A promise
Everything will be good tomorrow.


Shell ✨🐚
Never lose hope. Never
There’s always a sign of hope, look around in nature ,🌼
Six o’clock morning
Half ripen peaches sky
Sign to expect a hot day
ahead.
Hope there will be a cool breeze.
No movement.
Ominous silence.
Restless birds
Will there be storm?


Shell ✨🐚
Nature God given. Human stands helpless against the power of nature.
Respect.
White orchids petals overlapping in sweet embrace
Like silence between raindrops falling
breathe in peaceful place.
Let music of nature reach you deeply, lift you up
bringing you to higher ways
Leaving all stress behind
Letting inner peace enter mind.


Shell ✨🐚
The bird sat still
For years.
One wing was free.
First moving wildly,
while the other was tied down.
The bird learned through watching.
Fed by the wind.
To survive this flightless life,
still full of light.
Never reaching potential heights.
Now set free he didn’t even know how to fly anymore.
There sits a still bird still.
Watching.
Wondering what it’s like
up there .


Shell ✨🐚
A metaphor.
When I lay myself to sleep
When actually I want to weep
That’s when I close my eyes
and say a silent prayer
while teardrops falling sideways.

Shell✨🐚
When you are sad or distressed that’s the time that you need a silent prayer
After flooded land came drought.
Green leaves is what white dove brought.
Still, wars loud from silent despair.
Once again world went mute for mankind.
Women praying one more time.
For peace on earth and dove to fly.


Shell✨🐚
When will we have world peace.
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.
Look beyond the falling raindrops
Beams of sunlight coming through.
Look between the dark clouds
A silver lining will get you through
Parts of a rainbow will soon appear.
Giving color to  grey sky
Such is love, such is life.

Shell ✨🐚
There is always hope for a better tomorrow. Always stay positive
Look beyond the falling raindrops
Beams of sunlight coming through.
Look between the dark clouds
A silver lining is there for you
Parts of a rainbow will soon appear.
Giving color to a grey sky
Such is love, such is life.
Never give up on both
As long as you see your own worth
As long as you love each other
There  is hope.
You will always have sad and difficult days but beautiful and happy ones are also there.
Just look.


Shell ✨🐚
Never give up. Always stay positive and hopeful.
She was weeping silently
No one knew
He was her mate
Covid took him away
Nothing more to say.

Shell ✨🐚
Still many are dying on a daily basis.
Many are crying inside.
When the day disappears silhouettes appear.
Lamp of sun lingers, fluorescent ball sinks.
Slowly burning out with fading pastel colors.
Birds like dark drawings on canvas
Serene image before my eyes.
I stand still and watch in wonder this amazing wonder.



Shell ✨🐚
Every time mesmerizing sunset
Behind closed doors we all are
Through the cracks of darkness
See the  light beams
coming through
Choose light
Love
In your lifetime
Find your own silver spoon.




Shell ✨🐚
Just simple.

A  simple person
With a simple life
Using simple words
to tell a simple story
to create a simple picture
which stays forever
in the mind
That’s what poets do
Just simple .

Shell✨🐚
Everybody has a story
Everyone has their own way of expressing feelings inside.
I don’t need diamonds
I don’t need wealth
Just pick me a flower
for me to smell
Show me the moon
to caress my eyes
Play me a song
to sing in my heart
Give me your love
to elevate my soul
Then I’ll be happy
wherever we go.

Shell ✨🐚
A simple life filled with love and gratitude  gives you peace of mind.
I don’t need diamonds
I don’t need wealth
Just pick me a flower
for me to smell
Show me the moon
to caress my eyes
Play me a song
to sing in my heart
Give me your love
to elevate my soul
I’ll be happy
wherever I go.



Shell ✨🐚
Appreciate all little things in life and you’ll be happy.
I don’t need diamonds
I don’t need wealth
Just pick me a flower
for me to smell
Show me the moon
to caress my eyes
Play me a song
to sing in my heart
Give me your love
to elevate my soul
Then I’ll be happy
wherever we go.

Shell ✨🐚
You don’t need much to be happy in your heart
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.


Shell ✨🐚
When you’re confronted with human pain on a daily basis it puts things in perspective.
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.



Shell ✨🐚
When the moon falls asleep
That’s when the stars shine to see
They look at the moon
On this pillow soft bed
Can’t help but smile
Smooth like a baby, facing the sky.
