no animal should ever have to say

"why did my people treat me this way"

no older pet should ever feel spurned

because his callous owner opted

for the word "returned"

...no life is recycleable

not here to be turned in

we do not have a timeframe

before we hit chagrin

love is a commitment

that is for the duration

as long as the heart beats

and we can still experience

sensation

ipso

there are some things in our lives that offer no choice
but there are many others, where we have a voice

2011 what will you be?

2011 what will you be

the first year of humane

humanity

will you put on the map

kindness instead of hate

...or will we still struggle to

find this

we sadly wait

will the rest of the world

finally awaken

to the reasons for all the

steps we have taken

will peace rush in where

war has always tread

will every empty plate

be filled with bread

into such warm waters

we hope to delve

before we dive into 2012

re: solution

respect for all is

respect for oneself

it is what gives us

a reason

and is our greatest

wealth♥

snowflakes

snow flakes dance softly on the window pane

glad to be alive, and so happy not to be rain

in their little cut glass patterns they

crest and fall

i sit, in silence

with the wonder of it

one day

one day the world will bask

in the aura of love

a soft branch of olive

worn by the sweetest

of doves♥




and tomorrow

when we arise

will hope replace

sorrow

a gentle surprise

paint the world

paint the world around your heart

mix your colors, do not keep them apart

gently place them where you go

rainbows happen

you never know:-D
