Not yet
nay-
never
I should say

my words
are dust
that the winds
blow past

what I write
does not

crack the wall
or safe

nor:
open
any door

move
any mountain
or hill

make
any flower grow

stop
the rain
from falling

cause:
the sun
to shine

the moon
and stars
to show

persuade
the snow
to be less cold

wipe away
tears
in sad hearts

provide
food
for hungry boys and girls

give
hope
to a dying world-

all that I know
my words
would perish
immediately
after spoken-

this only
is my few words
for you--
reply
if you love me
then
they would find
their true worth.

pillars of light
spill like bubbling mirth
so sweet, so healing

a heart which still quakes
a hand which throbs awake
welcome, to all, I say

We learn something new everyday. Every moment one is awake to recognize the gift life is. To move in gratitude
Celebrate you.
Celebrate life.

a fog descends, encroaching the mind
wisps lost into the haze: minimal visibility ensured
a strength without direction, meandering through forest
ice encrusts logic; hail bombards reason
i am left

solely with agony
bliss ignorance into incompetence
sheeps alone in a storm
awaiting some dog to provide direction
i ponder: why wait for consensus
if no-one cares to agree and ascend

A Dying Horse

Seema
A dying horse,
Was being dragged over a marked cross,
On the ground its body lay,
Mocked and tortured up all the way,
Only few blinks with tears filled eyes,
Waiting for its beats to stop while the time flies,
There it lay next to its grave,
Hoping to be pushed in by the masters slave,
A few more minutes before the soul surrenders,
Once loved and praised by many spenders,
Now the weak await for the death to fall,
To free its soul from its body, once admired by all,
The eyes stopped blinking,
The tears stopped rolling,
The heart stopped beating,
The poor horse stopped breathing,
Pushed in its grave by the masters slave,
No one to praise or raise hands to wave,
Gone are the people who came along,
Finally resting its body in the grave alone...
