“The heart is born ageless
put to test against time

How can love know an end
when infinity fills the cup of life

The body a mere instrument
boundless atoms we call mine

Like a fresh morning during spring
dew spreading without any strife

There is no secret in the circle of life
by knowing both sides of a dime

The beating heart turned to a relic
bound to return without asking why

Protest is futile, so is denial
upon the arrival back to the divine”

——

“The bird of the night has come
speaking of ol’ wives tales

Disappears after losing its feathers
after catching the Mother’s tears

Her hand is clutched tight
together withstanding the fire

The songs played so mercifully
making the soul weep so quiet

Bouncing drops of harmony
gathered together for the fight

Knocking the wooden door rhythmically
unheared while dancing into the night

Dawn was calling out for a break
covered in the ashes of the light

And so continued singing aloud
till all of our cups dried out”

———

“Filled with glee and joy
was the garden to explore

The flowers fragrantly bedded
the trees home to one-stop passengers

Looking for a place to stay
scavengers of food, hiding in the shade

Or for shelter, to keep dry
lay under a roof full of leaves

Together with the forget-me-nots
and a sky full of stars to believe

Gifted a million chances to see
all that is when one is open to receive

Tomorrow’s wishes may never be again
today is already granted to thee

So when the rooster sings its melody
let the heart dance as in your dreams”
