casts huge leaf shadows on dirt
and the mockingbird's mocking me.

"mockingbird,"
I put my hands in my pocket
and pretend a smile,
"some things you can't out run,
church bells and a wedding dress,
funeral processions and baptisms,
the cop car radio,

she was so beautiful in her wedding dress,"

I'm pointing my finger up at the mockingbird,
"so I'm a few steps ahead of you in heartache,

it was a toss of the dice,"I tell the bird,

"I threw a handful of rice."

"so don't look sad at me, bird.
everyone gets hurt."

and on her branch in the sycamore tree
the mockingbird's crying to me...

"I'm a few years ahead you...
Sweet One, lonely bird.

I've walked through fire,
stared into the wall of shadow and sorrow
into the cold silence of tomorrow.

I hear what you're telling me, Dear One,
loves been a little ******* you, too,

and there in illusion lies the danger
so please be kind, my friend,

the sorrows that never seem to fade away
become the grey, dark sea,
and sunlight through the Sycamore tree.
NATURE BEING INTELLIGENCE CENTRE*

In the chest of nature ’s grand expanse, Where mysteries in silence dance, Science steps with gentle grace, unveiling secrets, face to face.

With cutting-edge tools, we seek. The language of the stars to speak, From deepest seas to skies above, We learn, we grow, with boundless love.

For every leaf and creature small, Science answers nature’s call, to understand, protect, and guide, in harmony, we walk beside.

Through research, knowledge lights the way, turning night to brightest day, Empowering beings, great and small, In nature’s web, we cherish all.

In forests deep and deserts wide, Science walks with nature’s stride, decoding whispers in the breeze, and songs of birds among the trees.

From ancient roots to future dreams, We weave together nature’s themes, with every breakthrough, every find, we nurture life, in heart and mind.

The oceans’ depths, the mountains’ peaks, In every corner, science seeks, To understand, to heal, to mend, a journey with no end.

So let us cherish what we learn, With every page, with every turn, for in this quest, we find our place, In nature’s vast, embracing grace.

Beyond the Earth, to stars we gaze, In cosmic wonder, minds ablaze, Science charts the heavens’ lore, exploring galaxies, forevermore.

This poem is based on various literary works by poets from the past and present, to support the project of "NATURE BIENG INTELLIGENCE CENTRE," created by Dr. Diviney (Carol Natasha Diviney Ph.D.).

Good morning
Is
More than  
A wish
Or
A happiness
I have for you
Seems
An endearment
Is in order
Since we left
Each other
While
We dreamt
Greetings
Snow flakes fall
Look like they will stick to the ground,
Build up
Make something wonderful

But when they finally reach it
They melt
They go away
Like my dreams of building a snow man
He never sticks

(This note was written by shoelaces you can't tie)
You asked me if I had
     Written
a poem today?

No I said.  You could not
have known that you are

     my poem.

My metaphors have changed.
You took my sad attempt’
'
to make of my life

     a story someone might
read, even for a moment.
Tonight I can tell you

     You are the meter
which steers the thing
I call love.

An unusual poem, filled
with all the things you are.

So I will know you when
     finally
we are met
and One.
