"derena" poems
A lasting friendship
between you and me
a friendship I never
take for granted.
A lasting friendship
to the end, a friendship
always want, to make
me smile each day.
If sorrow comes, and tears
must fall, I'll always be
with you my friend to
the end.
If happiness we shall find
may we share it among
the ones we love, we are
never alone being friends
the way we are to this
very day.
Like each flower that blooms
and noticed, for it's beauty
so is our friendship that
will never die.
(Dedicated to my best friend I have known
since I been three years old) Were 78
now)

Stardust, falls gentle like
fresh fallen snow, it lands
on dreamers, lovers, young
and old..
Stardust are not only
for little ones, it shines
each night in the velvet
heavens..
Golden dust falls from
the sky in the warmth
of summer, when the
moon is full..
It creeps around the world
like fine mist, before the
dawn appears..
Stardust is what's on the roses,
like dew they say, it soon
fades away with the brightness
of the sun..
Stardust is like the finest diamonds
displayed in the jewelry stores,
only thing with stardust, it comes
without a price...
Collect your stardust, when the
moon is full, and put it in a
golden box, in case God runs
short someday..
Stardust covers angels wings,
they shine so bright, they fly
so proud, in the heavens
above..

They say to love unconditionally! why is that!
you know you expect love to be perfect
when it enters like a fresh summer breeze.
When you realize, it never was like you
expected it to be! unconditional never
enter your mind, you grabbed, held on
drained, till their was nothing left to
take.
Survival of the fittest attacks, a person
has to save themselves to save another
so had to save beauty, before the beast
unconditional or not, the drained, weak,
became the strongest when beauty was
saved.
Unconditional love, does not exist in
here, their is always one wanting from
the other, if not love, something that can
damage, if not body, mind.
If understanding lives, one will understand
what happens to the one who always says
'Who cares'? Do they really care, sure
they do, the things they say they don't
care about, are the things they really
care about, unconditional or not.
(Animals can teach us how to love without
any expectations (They know unconditional
love from the day they were born)

Where are the old toys of yesterday?
I wonder who takes tender care of them
now, remember when eyes sparkled
with joy, when you played hours with
toys that now are broken, trashed, or
put in a box somewhere for memory
sake.
Simple Indian, soldier, and cowboy
toys, so tattered they became, now
they lay buried, in the vault of time
what enjoyment, it was, to play with
them, even brought them to bed.
Paper dolls, they were so much
fun, cutting out their cloths carefully
wishing you had as many cloths as
they did, what a little girls delight
now they have become a something
that was once, a little girls joy.
Tinker toys, what angry surfaced
when falling apart before you finished
making what you were building
holes were not drilled properly
little arms, did not have strength
enough to push hard, that is when
daddy became a pushing tool.
What happened to our simple toys?
they were toys that brought sheer
happiness, little toys, but fun toys
that will never be forgotten from
the one's who spent hours playing
with them.
Now look! at the toy shelves!! What
do you see but a price tag, that
most will never spend, on something
made without feeling, batteries
for everything, and now where did
the simple life disappear too
ask yourself!! Have you ever
wondered how it would be to
live the simple life without all
these changes, that not only toys
have changed, we have, wishing
life was simple and rewarding
once again.
(Nothing remains the same, except the
universe and the world).
(We live, love, and pass away..
But nature continues on in grace)

Great men never die
they walk among
the giants, they live
on, never to be replaced.
Great teachers live on
with works to be taught
to each generation, where
their is knowledge comes
wisdom.
Great art never dies
it just goes up in price
while the artist that was
so humble, is painted in
raptured gold.
Great poets walk among
the giants, their poetry
is read over and over
again, from a beginner
to a pro.
We walk among the giants
of our own, teaching what
we know, to the youth
of today, so they may walk
with giants in their own time.
(We are all Giants in our time!)

Sitting on a mountain high
gazing across the wondrous
art, so magnificent, with clouds
that will never appear again, they
shall vanish into vapor and another
will appear to bring forth
another.
Wonder if life brings all this beauty
for us to become aware, finding
it in our own hearts to except
what we cannot change!
Calming effect flows through us
while we wipe away the stress
of another day.
Upon a star we make a wish to
have better understanding to
know answers to questions we
must learn through research
or living.
Sweet air we breathe to live
proud, realizing each breath
we take is another second chance
to live a better life, knowing we
are in charge, of all we do with
deep love and respect.
Their will never be another us
it is in our own hearts to climb
each mountain collecting each
thought, storing it away in our
memory bank.
How lovely to appear amongst the
stars, making wishes and praying
for happiness we carry deep
within our golden legacy
of whom we have been
forever.

Emotions went out one day and
forgot where they lived, they roamed
all around the world and still couldn't
find their way home.
Something did not seem right, since
emotions forgot anything to do with
emotions, and life started a new with
out a single emotion in thought.
All emotions thoughts were subtraction
how the thought appeared within the
mind why subtraction? when all the
answers are wrong emotions wondered
gather strength to find something
to do with emotions that somehow use
to be part of life.
Warmth of the sun seemed no longer
warm to emotions, since the sun use
to be so glorious once upon a time
in emotions lost world.
So emotions subtracted her way
to the countless few, looked in the
beautiful heavens and started
a new.

Games people play, hurting
teasing, self satisfaction
feelings not needed in every
corner, where people play
games with love..
Games people play, fun
to them, hurting to another
many tears shed when love
is not real, only a game..
Games people play, unfair
much pain, like a knife slicing
through the giving heart, caring
less who has been marked
for life..
Games people play, mean
cruel, cold, inhuman, selfish
like a wounded animal, life
continues on without compassion..
Sinner be dam for your selfish
deeds, fall into the pit of hell, feel
how it hurts to be used and thrown
away like a piece of rotten meat..
Games people play, what's the hurt
of a broken heart, nothing to them
only a play toy, when the fun is over,
the games are over..

Softly I touched her face, I wipe the tears
away she shed, she cried for our nation that
was gone many centuries ago.
Stories, from years, came back to me
when I was very small, each story
powerful, as her heart is brave, and
true, I let them flow from heart, our
nation that understood how to live and
raise their children with spirituality, mother
kissed them with fertile ground for survival
to continue on with stories that go down
in our history books.
Come walk the fields and streams, I
will tell you how our nation became
a nation, the sorrows, beliefs, faith,
your ancestors had that gave them great
courage, and skills to put a smile on a
face that never frowned, they never had
to be sad, they had their struggles, and had
mother nature by their side, with God's
arms stretched out with love and peace
for his children.
She sat their on a rock near the
stream while I told her the story
of her dear ancestors, while she
listened, she started to shed
more tears, but never in vain.
Each story I told her, another tear
fell, not on the ground of sand, on
the Green Indian burial grounds
growing with flowers, and weeds, and
stories she could pass down from generation
to generation.
We walked for miles and chanted,
and cried for our nation that was
a legend already, all we saw, and
felt, we found out nothing was ever
lost, it was growing all around us,
our nation was blowing in the
softness of each whisper of the
breeze, all we saw was a deep
reminder that our Indian nation
will always be.
(God made us strong, why are we not
anymore?)

Electric you, electric me, were
floating, merging in every
direction, completing our vast
journey home**
Rebirth, you, me, no recollection
of what was, infinity, lost in a
dimensional space, electric you,
electric me, mesmerized, locked
in our deepest imagination**
Flashing lights before our eyes,
appearing like diamonds across
our mind of blurred memories
now forgotten**
Touching angels near and far,
God's face in the distance we
do see, in a world we would
call paradise**
You, me, dreaming, about a world
so new, happiness never felt till now,
when the un-blemished blackness,
opens wide, with golden light, collecting
both our souls, electric you, electric me
in the newness of spiritual light**

Dance, light beams follow you
with bliss, dance into the light, bringing
forth your freshness in the
night.
Special, those who radiate rays
through years of darkness, they know
where light comes from...
Dance into the light, follow your
song, no song greater than
songs that come from
within.
Dance with grace, you'll bring sparkle
starting flames, the fire of loves
sweet embrace...
Be true, only in truth can you see
what lies within, fire burns,
while love grows and
grows.
Never stars shine in vain,
each time you search, sparkle
is what you'll see.
Life never-ending mystery,
holding dear, it's overpowering
adventure, capturing loves
sweet song..
Dance into light, and hold on to each
dream, they are dreams' that make
you! You.

What shall this divine purpose be
I ask in the silence of my lonely
room!! I cannot listen to loves
call any more, it has disappeared
and went into another dimension,
a place where love sleeps for
awhile.
Divine purpose reveals sheer
devotion, for in having this
shall you control all conflicts
that appear before you, for
leaving behind one special thing
in life, you face another with
a wiser stronger heart.
Not all happiness revolves
around love, it revolves around
an important deed, that needs
to be accomplished, a deed
that will come from heart and soul.
Though this time is still untouched,
it will open and you will find
that divine purpose you are here
to make happen, it is sad your hurting
again, it will heal, and you will understand
what your divine purpose is.
Life on earth never always turns
out the way we want it too, it has
so many clouds that pass, but their
is always the light that lives deep,
to keep you strong from pain, stopping
those tears you shed for the loved
ones you left behind.
Don't feel alone, for your never
alone, your people stand by you,
you may not know who they are now
but in time, you'll notice the change
that will be taking place, for in doubt
does one come out, a winner.
Like the plane that flies high over
clouds, you shall fly high, way over
the universe, where your heart lives
not here on a earth, that brings conflict
pain, and in the end, destruction.
Your heart does not live for you
alone, it teaches many the meaning
of what is to come very soon, listening
gathering thoughts from you, shall this
happen little at a time, with knowledge
just like a bird who cannot find his
nest, but after searching hard enough
he finds a better one that is stronger.
Divine purpose is so sacred, it
leads one to walk a life alone for a
special reason to reach out and touch
the hearts of others, though, the sacrifice
may be great of heart, you will reap rewards
to great to mention, for in giving, one must
keep believing.
The blackboard is no longer black, it
has now been filled with information that
needs to be read and accomplished step
by step, information important to be unloaded
within, and followed carefully, doing this, will
you find your people, and your divine
purpose.

Love is like a dream,
never ending, just
continuing into a sea
of sweet bliss.
Love and forget everything
else, if you love and share
life, it will reward you in
every thought that makes
living worth while.
Love lasting, like the
shadow of your smile
in the silence of the night.
A constant beating
of a loving heart
whispering across
the wind swept room.
Storms of love shoot
out, like diamonds
falling to the ground.
Dreams of reality grow
deep with each tender
touch. a kiss that pours
out love, will never be
sad, they found the light
of tranquility.
Lasting emotions unleashing
desire of loves first kiss
a night of eternal bliss.
Midnight glance, a smell
of sweet perfume floating
with the soft breeze of
summertime.
Tenderness of dreams live
on, to see another night
showered with stardust.
and daffodils in the garden
of sweet memories of every
thing that has passed in the
mind of a peaceful heart.

Along my life of wonder
chasing each star in
the heavens above.
Dreaming about the good
times when life was simple
and kind.
Dancing with nature
taking chances, wading
along the stream of life
waiting for a second
chance to look love
in the eye.
Laughter fills each
day with gratitude
walking along counting
pine cones.
Dancing with nature, I pray
I will always feel this peace
inside, a simple wild rose
finds it's way behind my
ear, while dancing and flirting
with natures ways.

Fire inside, burning, growing deeper
as the wind blows away fears no longer
existing.
Fire inside, blazing across unknown
dimensions of space and time
as we know it.
Touching heart, touching soul beyond
knowledge and understanding, fire
unseen glowing with delight.
Fire of youth burning through, strong
as steel, forever true.

Awaken children of the light, it is
time to go forward into the Universe
finding why you have had no knowledge
of your present life and where it is leading
you now.
As we know! living is all we have ever known
it is about love, respecting, working hard
on all we believe, and taught, simple as that.
False belief's grow stronger behind doors of
confusion as we place our complicated thoughts
on hold, fabricating excuses without knowledge
of what they themselves are trying to understand.
Now, it is time to find out all the answers to your
questions. As you know, we are only using very little
of our brain, and now we are awakening our brain
which means our intellect will be energized to the
point for us to travel through our own dimensional
state of awareness, finding knowledge, is only
a scar away from the main wound.
Your mind will be opened to all creation, with
no definitional length of intelligence we
have inherited through the beginning of man kind.
We have been enlightened once again for the last
time, for in finding our own light, we will be our
guide for ourselves and all your thoughts of the past
will be erased and a new life will start once again.
Seems hard to understand this is taking place right
now, but it is! and as time passes by, time will be
no more, it will no longer be important.
Living will be different from what you know it to
be, it will be spot intellect, without memories
to hold you down. Memories have only been the
after math of having a brain in the first place,
all that happened in your life was not a memory
it was a thought, manifesting a memory that
was never a reality from the beginning.
All to complicated in our small minds right now
only you shall travel into your own enlightenment
Yes you:! will travel without knowing, you will be
enlightened and nothing will be the same again.
You will be your own person and know all answers
to every question you have always wanted to know.
No more questions will be asked, we will know all
answers, right from the beginning.
Be observant! you will no longer move into the
darkness, when your enlightened, no fears, no
doubts to hold you back from being your true
self enlightened being of the Universe.

I borrowed love from my flowers
in my flower garden, for a little
while, how warm, fragrant, as
they quietly entered, like soft music
in the misty dawn of summer
time..
Love every where inside and out, just
notice the song that flows from
all living creatures, they have a special
note all their own.
The first snow in winter falls, gracefully
each different in shapes and song
as they drop lightly to the frozen
ground.
I borrowed all of natures love for
one season, feeling sensations of
communication and song, through
out time, she sowed her sweet
love in my soul.

Miles crisscrossing among unknown exotic spices mingling together
making tremendous sounds not forgotten.
Show in action, not seen by unfaithful believers, nightmares clashes till light shines through darkness of blue destiny measured with misty softness awaiting spoken answers to questions not known on Splendor Road with magical elements ac curing through senses of play and imagination.
Surrounded light sparkles across midnight mystery, capturing creatures like faeries flying across exotic leaves of lavender and misty locus flowers, not seen any where only on Splendor Road by those who believe, will roam among the secrets and mystery of beauty unknown to doubters of a world created to appreciate life the way it was to be appreciated.
What you find on Splendor Road is what the world was meant for all to find, but only a few have found the answer to the question unable to be answered by the unbelievers, when your heart is opened, you soon will become a believer, the question will be answered without any effort what so ever.
Cross and come over to Splendor Road, you will not go back among coldness and heartless surroundings, your love has wondered on the road to happiness and harmony and miracles beyond any imagination you can imagine will happen, you have surrendered yourself to a higher power unknown to you alone, that key that opened up your heart has always been around your neck, you never become aware of it till you opened your own heart to the deep wonders of love, power of unselfish deeds and commitment to others
than yourself.
Life as you see it now is a mystery of unknown spender and will continue through majestic places of happiness and glory you
will not be able to comprehend, as you really still don't know how strong love really is, many have no love to fly high like a bird, free, happy, and peaceful.
(Find your way to Splendor Road all questions will be answered)

Just want to say goodbye my sweet
friend. I knew it was going to be this
way for a few years now. I already
felt your sadness because we could
not see each other.
God in heaven and all your loved ones
will welcome you home, you can once
again smile, you always had such lovely
smile. You can see all the snowbirds we
all loved so much.
Fly high my friend, you are free at last, no
more fear to hold you down, you can
now fly through the heaven of light
and love.
You can go to Rainbow Bridge and all
your dogs will be waiting for you, with
tails wiggling all over.
I will be down here to pray with light, love
and peace my friend..Good-Bye.

I wolf, maiden in the day light, wolf
at night, where I wonder with a wolf pack
hungry for food, the shattered truth of my
life is a threat to my human friends, never
been so happy since I become a she wolf.
I feel the freshness upon my soul, I'm
renewed each time I transform, a feeling
of great power and true freedom, no one
shuts me in, I am a she wolf of the wild,
a place I've always wanted to be.
The night I was attacked, it did not
hurt, just a little break in the skin, several
months later, when the moon was full
I had a feeling to go into the timber
lands, seeking something, I did not
know what.
Now I have found the freedom I've
always wanted, freedom of a true
she wolf, I with my pack, I ****
for food, and at dawns early light, I
become a woman graving blood.
It may not sound to happy, to be in
the spot I'm in, it really is, I feel more
than anyone will ever feel, I know
what true freedom feels like when
the moon is full..

You sit quietly believing in
yourself, you can smile, you
can cry, but remember your
heart will always care in a very
special way.
Your the keeper of your heart
soul, keeper of all you believe
keeper of your spirituality and
believer of God.
You sit at the hand of the
beholder, knowing the
distant of mind, distant
of secret thoughts, capturing
blue flames of your own destiny.

I love my own road, it took so long to make, it
gave me so much pain you wish it would go away
and than one day the road looked like it finally was
beginning to look like a road.
Thought just making it was just the sweat of it,
but not the tears, sorrow, darkness that suddenly
covered the area around it, so you could not continue
till the time was right.
To many pebbles to sort, not enough dirt to
make the foundation secure, surprises under each
level that is removed from the ground, leaving a
gap in between the sweetness that was use to live in
under Neath all the confusion of misplacing the
dirt in the first place.
My road is not very straight, but it was made the
best I could make it, with a lot of sweat, love, compassion,
forgiveness, and much giving of my own heart without
any rewards, I made it strong to last many life times
Indeed my road was worth a life time of making,
and God was my strength through it all.

Divine power soars high above me, standing
for everything I do and believe in, cannot do it
by myself without God's divines spirit.
Dreams do not just happen, they have to be desired
having faith in our divine spirit, helping our dreams
goals, understanding, to become a reality..
The colors surrounding my heart were not always
as bright as they are, it took many years of
determination and struggle to make those
colors as bright as they are today.
Divine power gave me the strength to be a better
me, it did not happen overnight, now I lay in a
valley of Lillie's with fragrance lingering for
miles, a calm and peaceful feeling brought on
from years of belief, faith, and deep love.
Defeat should not exist in our world, not ever
fears of knowledge should not be setting our world
on fire, it should be the strength we grasp on
collecting only the light, spirit, and positive truth
that lives within our own souls.
With understand ourselves, we shall become wise to
comprehend truth, of spirit within our own complex
self.
All answers are just before us to hear, if we only listen
to the spirit of our own subconscious, installed deeply
within, instead of darkness of misunderstanding, we
could all fine out own paradise within our own self,
learning the real reason of existence.

Little angel be my guide
always let me keep my smile
let me hold you dear within
while I pray to God above.
Little angel sing your songs
never let me see a tear, I'll
always keep you close with
me, while I walk my path
to God.
Little angel play with me
so I'll never be alone
let me know what I must
do, to let you rest at
ease within.
Always shine your light
on me, never let me shy
away, let me learn more
every day, the real way
to say a prayer.
I now shall say good
night, hoping that
tomorrow shall bring,
a more thankful me,
with love to spare
among my friends
so far away.
Little angel your so special
I cannot begin to tell you
how much I love you so.
You helped to clear my sadness
away, when I asked you from my
hurting heart, you never told me
wait a minute, maybe later
I shall help, you have always
been my little friend that no
one knows about.
Little angel now I'm old, your
still a standing by my side, I
have asked you a million times
to help me be strong, and each
time you made me stronger then
the time before.
You still make me keep my smile
through my sickness and pain, and
failure to notice, you even shed a
few tears for me, standing by my
side so many years.
My little angel in God's holy light, you
showered down peace and understanding
within my life, of life's, you gathered
all the fragrance of each flower in
one, and showed me God's holiness
within all of us hold.
Bless you my little angel, this time God
hears my little prayer, with blessing from
his heart, to yours, my little one.
