I am but one small human, on an ever morphing landscape. I have seen so much and yet so little. So many technological advances, extraordinary in nature, and so much cruelty, a partnership born from the most evil of places. I know I am of no consequence in the larger order, but the larger order is of great consequence to me."

pangolin
Do you know me
I am a pangolin
I try to survive
... My numbers getting thin
People eat my babies
Take my home from me
Can you help stop
This misery?
i closed
i closed my eyes
it was not yet night
as my mind meandered
into beautiful sight
flowers blossomed
... loves nectar sweet
i did not want to leave there
at last i felt complete♥

so do
in the hands of man
few animals win
and those of us who care
live with chagrin
and those animals
... tormented, captive
and sad
innocent victims
of a world
quite mad:(
so do the very best
be the most kind
let goodness rule
your heart and
occupy your mind♥♥♥

the elephant goddess
The elephant goddess of the sun
Used to spend her days
Smiling at everyone
And now her eyes cry copious tears
As she watches in silence
All that happens down
here
Her herds depleted,
her forests dry
These acts repeated
She does not know why
And so her rays of yellow light
Start to fold up,
And give in to the night

we are blessed
we are blessed for each day,
the words we do or do not say.
the thoughts we can "hear",
those hearts we hold dear.
for each moment we are given,
... in dark or in light,
by gratitude,
we are driven
until we say goodnight♥

we live in a world
we live in a world
so sad and tragic
a gift given to us
by the creator of
magic
... but in cruelty
man torments
and kills
to those who care
a bitter pill
all my decades
living here
are covered with sorrow
and bathed in tears:(

for whitney
i remember her when,
her youthful zeal,
a bouyant spirit,
with so much appeal.
then she made choices,
... life became a fight,
the daylight lost
its footing,
she sadly slipped
into the night.
rest in peace
know that
you are surely
missed by those
whose lives
you all too shortly,
kissed

earth mother
i want my jungles
i want my sand
i want my mountains
once tall and grand
i want my oceans
... fresh and pristine
i want my forests
in summer, to be green
i want my planet
as it was meant to be
i want some humane
from all humanity

ope end
we open our eyes but are our eyes open?
empty baubles
petty squabbles
nothing resolved
feeling dissolve

rest pit
the day winds down
the sun rests her head
the moon and the stars
will watch the earth
instead♥
what is a home
home is the place where
you know you belong
when you feel weak
on the outside,
in your home,
you are strong.
home is the place
where you can
be secure,
i do not know
where home is
but it is not
here,
i am sure(

how it grows
you meet, you connect
you are not circumspect
if you have any doubts
you put them out
it feels so good
and you feel understood
then other people enter
into the mix
there are certain things
you cannot fix
add disillusion
and you have confusion
your baggage and theirs
some things, never shared
so you live or you chose not
to as second best
when you get too old
true love takes
a rest:(

tang led
tangled up in tangled up
sadder than sad can be
lost inside a frozen space
there is no room for me

the earth was
the earth was formed, a molten burning rock, then life forms swarmed, the creator took stock, all co-existed by nature's rules, only man resisted, he is THE fool

mantra de every jour
mantra de jour
of which i am sure
there are some things
that can be cured
put one foot forward
... let the other follow
do not be deterred
by the heartless
and hollow
