Empty are my hands
      light is my heart
      gentle are my steps
      none of my words is hard

      I've nothing to assert
      in disputes I take no part
      you'll not see me in the crowd
      quietly I live, unnoticed I depart

Tether me with flowers
bring me sunshine everyday !
Do not ruffle up my feathers
when I'm doing it my way !
Fasten smiles upon me say,      
"Go ahead, do it your way !"

I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.

You said I had
a diamond heart.

Is that why
you crushed it –
thought it wouldn't hurt?

As much as I wanted to

I could never hate you

my love was too strong

for hate to stand a chance.

Follow your internal song
to a place where
string and brass
lie waiting to be woken alive
with your fresh breath;
The world is all music for
curious hands and
ears ready to
listen and
play its
tune.
