#giant
On the high ridge lives the happy giant, Laughing where the pine trees lean. His shadow keeps the snowfields quiet, His boots know paths I’ve never seen. Happy giant, broad and mild, With moss in baerd and crow at heel, Will you carry off this tired child From rooms too narrow, days too real? Come at dusk when lamps go blind, When light forgets my name. Lift me from the measured din, From bread earned slow and hope kept tame. We will sleep where stone stays warm, Wake when owls begin their call, Drink from springs untouched by form, Hear no clocks, no bells at all. Let the village keep its vows and sums, Its folded hands, its counted breath. Lead me past the alder drums Into a life that smells of death. If freedom asks a body lost, If leaving means Im lost to ground, I’ll pay the price, I’ll take the cost, Carry me where joy is found.

Song for a Happy Giant
The little cottage transforms me when I enter -- into a giant.

[ The little cottage ]
They pushed me to awaken the giant within, little did they know they pushed past the limit. ...now a MONSTER on their trail! Thank you for giving me to the ashes and pepper.

Awakened Fury
A man maybe a giant. Maybe a joy or pain. Truth is a tear!

Blinding the Sun
MONSTERS Sitting still in devastating thoughts, flowing through like a sparkling light ocean that burns as hot as the sun. Piece by piece, months, weeks and days go by, the monsters within awaken. All humans are monsters and all monsters are human. Has the sun set to sleep, the crying demon arise wandering in a peaceful sleepy mind of mine. Mistakes, heartbreaks, loneliness, pressure makes my monster what it is. The mistakes, heartbreaks, loneliness and pressure the creature that haunts my darkest thoughts. The piercing pain is a giant whale that swallows me hook line and sinker. Aboting my peaceful coexistence My monsters lies patiently ahead waiting in ambush. The sabre-toothed monster kills me day by day. What is your monster? -KADRI. M. A. -

Monsters
He's a gentle giant Tiptoeing around his soul flower Delicately nurturing the delicate entity In awe, he gawks from suns to moons Pondering in anticipation, this wonder flower's bloom Such a marveling creation, he wants to support forever But he's so very very big He could crush the little thing And so he can never get too close. As gentle as he may be, he will never be so gentle it doesn't break the flower So he may only enjoy the flower from a distance, never being able to entwine Until one day the flower blooms and evolves from a flower to a tree For a soul-flower is complex enough to be this free And it's roots caressed the giant's body, gently uniting with its everlasting partner in time Becoming one, like the tree on top of the giant hill Together, they slumber forever, in each other's presence, content, and still. People visit this soul tree from time and time For many believe that this tree will grant you the sight to obtain your own true love, you'll see There was a time where this giant thought it would never get to truly love the soul-flower but could nurture it from a distance, and it did so happily. This nurturing little did the giant know, caused it to bloom big enough to withstand the giant's strength, forming its own strength, in which it used to become one with the giant, for the love of one was so powerful that it amplified the being of the other.

Gentle Giant
Staying single is a loneliness, I tried to, but, I can't resist. I want to marry Someone with a green face and white clothe, she is someone with a giant smile and, behaving bravely.

I want to marry
the walk through the dark forest, with these trembling legs full of fear. the fear of hissing coming from a height, And the rumors of a living giant bear. the crying trees suffering from blight. hands start shaking, whenever I try to write. the experience was honest and real, that roar if lion I still can hear.

A Long Walk
I learned gentleness from a giant of a man whose reach reached full round the world and deep into my wounds, offering a strength and a healing that was light as a whisper and heavy as a salve that gave off an aroma which took me back to my mother’s arms, her safe smell and the music of her song, rocking me gently and teaching me more about strength than any wannabe giant of any size. He gave me a giant’s confidence to hold tight to Him while holding all else in an open hand – not grabbing, nor forcing, but holding out for Him and His gentleness that I find invites more than it commands.

The fruit of the Spirit is gentleness
A richest mother, who let her children suffer, she is, a tallest than a tallest Palm and Dates trees, For those who are near, her shadow is useless, And those, who are very far benefitting massively. It's my richest and, a giant mother Nigeria

You are like the moon Pure and opaque.. Can be described as nothing but a giant flake. Desirable enough to cause many heartbreak. You are a beautiful dream from which i never wanna wake...

dear tracy i am listening to your words listening to your voice dear tracy i am listening to you because you calm me a morning is given grace by your voice but first of all: forgiveness how could a day forgive? heaven yeah: it can! since a day is god and god is a day and god is inside everything and god is inside everyone and god forgives god, without words, made me feel how to forgive it's a lack of compassion that made the cold-hearted so cold-hearted the giants of our earth will fall sooner or later. i am talking about goliath i am talking about donald i am talking about supercilious creatures who fight against themselves day by day but who celebrate autonomy dear tracy i am listening to your words listening to your voice dear tracy i am listening to you because you're a good person. a good person does the right thing; and by spreading a strong spiritual vibe you have been doing the right thing dear tracy please: spread the vibe      and then spread the vibe      and then speak the word.

A Tribute To Tracy Chapman
she's big, almost too big. big enough to weigh more than you. she's hope, that something betters to come. that we won't be here forever. she's always there, haunting your every move. in your way, and on your lap. but always exactly where you want her. she's dying, and we have to hold onto her, before it's too late.

pause.
It may be only a little pearl. But someone reached out to it peeping in the giant sea.

I feel small The world is a laughing giant Wearing a coat to stop the cold But all of her coats are too big for me
