Wealth, what's wealth?  
Depending on what they say.

Is wealth money?  
Is it treasure?  
Is it material possession?  

Who do we call wealthy ,
The one who has money?  

Wealth is love,  
Wealth is friends,  
Wealth is trust ,
Wealth is the possession of hearts,  

If wealth is in materials,  
Materials are lost, stolen, destroyed,  
But wealth built on friendship, on love,  
Is everlasting and never lost .

So appearance or possession they aren't wealth,  
A wealthy one is who possesses hearts, and loves.  
That's true wealth.....  

So as long as we know how to love, we are wealthy

Loosing you was my deepest fear,  
I always taught you were sincere,  
You hate me now that's crystal clear,
That strikes my heart like a spear,  

I stood there waiting in despair,  
I always told you " hello my dear ",
My respect too much for you to bear,  
I'm leaving you the end is near,

I lost you now, I have nothing to fear,  
I'm looking through, around this sphere (earth)
To find someone to call them " dear "
Someone who will be my premier,

You went away so easily so fast,  
I actually taught what we had would last,
At first it was hard I couldn't believe,  
At last all I could do was sit and grieve,  

But darling what pushed you away?  
Will you come back to me maybe one day?  
These unanswered questions surround my mind,
Neither you nor time to me were kind,  

If I had the chance to see you again,  
By the coffee shop near the train,
Your love still runs through my vein,
I'm hopeful but they say I'm insane,  

Will you love me the same way ?
If it's 14 February or somewhere in May,  
I'll stand with a rose as long as it takes,  
Funny I don't give up though my heart always breaks,

If you come I wait, please don't be late,  
If you don't I'll die, I'll die in love .

A ray diffracted from the crystal flower,
into a thousand diamonds on my wall;
different angles creating a shady bower,
under my delusion tree,
here i rest peacefully.

Not in denial nor in sorrow,
in all measures of every feeling;
in life's liveliness in every moment,
like there's no tomorrow..
a gift to me from the galaxy.

A rainbow halo it bequeathed me ,
streaming through the empty space ;
erasing and recreating a strange place
in my delusion bower,
under my illusion tree

Like a dream
mystified with creator's creativity.
how glad i am to see
the cloudy sky or cloudless blue
the green grass blade caressing the morning dew;

How glad i am to see,
the mirage or the oasis;
it's not my mind's hallucination
the divine at play,
total internal reflection

Nature's cradle nurturing the seed
eventually the divinity
that unfolds,
blossoming into my crystal flower,
making space for the miracles it holds;

And the sun shines right through ,
its rays diffracting
and scattering
into a myriad hue,
merging into infinity...

The day we met,  
It rained so bad,  
We all got wet,  
Even that young lad,  

Some ran in search of spot to stand,  
Some looked around to find a hand,
Some happy they were as it did rain,
Some frowned so bad as if in vain,

Some wished they had ,
an umbrella to hold,  
Some closed their umbrellas,
though it became  mould,  

And there you came,
different than them all,  
Saw your dancing shadow around the spall ,
It was standing tall,

I loved you because you were different .

I came to you with all my love,  
Something I'm always proud of,  
You held my hand through the rain,
We danced together as if we're insane,
