Colorful birds in flight
But when she wakes up
Will she be alright
Colorful birds in flight
But when she wakes up
cherish each day
hold each day in your hand
it is a precious flower
cherish the seconds,
the minutes, the hours
savor every breath
not knowing which
will be the last
life is a gift
that is expires
too fast

for egypt
i hope that egypt does not trade one form of tyranny for another, as the iranian people did. a yoke of oppression is what it is, be it cloaked by military power or fundamentalist religious views

the dancer
the dancer moves
where shadows abound
the dancer grooves
noone is around
the dancer spins
and twirls and flies
the dancer grins
dance never lies

that rules

for the wise
and the fools
time is the leader
we follow, blind
skating in a
frightened circle
afraid to be
left behind
afraid to be
pushed aside

not caring,

a reflection
a reflection is more than what we see
it is deeper than the surface visibility
it opens up the heart, inspires the mind
to ask what secrets are hidden behind
the fragile image
that
we believe
based on the way
our souls. perceive

in silent steps
in silent steps
she walks, aloud
navigating
the nameless crowd
pushing through
with downcast face
what she had to do
to get someplace

in a series of fits,
and starts
and leaps
some of them shallow,
some of them deep
taking a tenuous
moment to opine
is any of this real
is any of this mine

at times
at times it does not feel right
to keep on going in a futile fight
then i read about one fragile soul
saved from misery, healed and whole
for that brief moment, i am sustained
i keep on going, however pained
for each life saved, an angel smiles
even if that is as good as it gets
it is worth the trial
to keep on going in a futile fight
then i read about one fragile soul
saved from misery, healed and whole
for that brief moment, i am sustained
i keep on going, however pained
for each life saved, an angel smiles
even if that is as good as it gets

lost-algic
we lived without high techie toys for years
but no now we cannot live without our
gadgets near
and when they malfunction and dare
not to work
we hit that junction
and feel like a jerk
so simple were those
long lost times
when if you had to make
a call
all you needed was a dime
alas a dime ain't worth a cent
anyone know where
my abacus went;-D

reverie in dreams
will mankind ever
be one nation
instead of dividing itself
by pigmentation?
will people stop giving
each other grief
because they do not
share the same
beliefs?
i take you to take
task
by the questions i ask
borne of sweet hopes
that live only in
a flask

valor
if love is something that you feel
share it, do what you think is real
take your tenure here on earth
and make it everything
that you know it is worth
share it, do what you think is real
take your tenure here on earth
and make it everything
that you know it is worth
my world is warm, keep my baby from harm
winter creature
majestic and wild
born of the snows
an arctic child
what will happen
to you
as the temperatures
grow mild
your icy palaces
by man
defiled

wolves, i love
i see my reflection in the sky
i howl at the moon
but the moon will not cry
the water cuts like
liquid glass
the rose is read
my life, at last♥

yes!!!!
at times life throws us quite a mess
the reasons why, noone can guess
but rise we do and challenges
we meet
and try though they will
they will not defeat
us as we are
or what we do
this is our life
we will get through
a pebble, a rock
may get in the way
but this is our game
and we are here to play

the buffalo voice
a hero
a hero stands at an enemy's door
and keeps on knocking
until he hears no more
a hero rises to what he
believes
he upholds his truth
and does not deceive
a hero feeds a homeless cat,
a hungry dog, saves a
wounded bat
a hero loves to love
with heart so true
as he believes in himself
he believes in you
a hero will not tolerate
the world of cruel
such a place is the home
of fools
a hero is inside us, one and all
we just have to listen
and answer his call
and keeps on knocking
until he hears no more
a hero rises to what he
believes
he upholds his truth
and does not deceive
a hero feeds a homeless cat,
a hungry dog, saves a
wounded bat
a hero loves to love

run fast run free
run fast run free
let nothing bother me
fly low, fly high
bursts of laughter
times to cry
breathe deep, let it out
in a whisper, in a shout
hold on, let go
it is only mine to know
let nothing bother me
fly low, fly high
bursts of laughter
times to cry
breathe deep, let it out
in a whisper, in a shout
hold on, let go
it is only mine to know
tidal
we are a collection of thoughts, feelings, emotions
our souls are a tidal wave in our live oceans
we ebb, we flow, we do not always know
but somehow we find a direction to go
sometimes we follow, other times we lead
even when we wallow, we still have the need
our souls are a tidal wave in our live oceans

the vacuum
the vacuum in which i once dwelled
a lonely, tarnished, musty shell
has in its place a light that shines
illuminated by friends so fine
dreams unnoticed at times ignored
...resignation under the guise of bored
the wings are fluttering
the antennae awakened
as each little step,
a milestone taken
thank you all for supplying
the ride
and opening up
what was closed inside

seals
for those who hunt me because i am a seal
did you ever stop to think just how i feel
i just want to sit on my rocks and ice
if you would leave me be, that would be so nice
my fur is mine, not yours for the taking
just look at all the red blood you are making
go back to your homes, your families, your wives
and leave us seals alone to enjoy our lives

warm scents
warm scents of the morning
coffee gently brewing
reading the newspapers
same old stories, stewing
hoping that some sweet
...flavors are added to the mix
like peace, hope and paradise
our world needs this fix
stir in some love, compassion
and caring
a meal served to everyone
as it was made for sharing♥

i am thankful for each day i open my eyes
and see the world around me, the biggest prize
i revel in the fact that i can object
that my mind is still able to opine
and reflect♥

em-pathy
empathy is a precious word
often uttered, but rarely "heard"
often asked for
but hardly given
man is far to "me me" driven
...and needs to learn that
the greatest joy of all
is to share of oneself
and feel 10 feet tall!!!!

another day
another day
another chance
to smile
to look upon a loved one
and feel happy,
...for a while
to revel in the future
escape the trap
of the past
our hearts all need
this suture,
but how long
will it last?

when pain and frustration
are at their most
i remember the gift of life
and i raise a toast

in the name of our lands
your voice we can hear it
you know where we stand
as one with the sky,
with the trees, with the clouds
our faces lifted upward
our voices out loud!!!!

seldom heard

predetermined pigments
the spectrum
of heart and soul
are they figments
or are they
tangibly whole?
