Into the sky the metal eagle soars The roar of the four turbines lifting its wings Higher higher it lifts Its wheels detract Sliding into its belly Flying up up to its destination it turns To it final direction inside its fragile

Resolutions at 30
I wrote this from memory so may be slight errors! I love the base harshness at the beginning, the gentle reality and acceptance of the middle and the defiance and humour of the last line. I think the title of resolutions at 30 ( not 60, or 80 etc) is well thought out. In all the poem is a pleasant contrast and surprise.
Centre of Memory
on International Nelson Mandela Day in honour and celebration of Madiba's 95th birthday and his and Graca Machel's 15th wedding anniversary December 5, 2013: Though his body now rests in peace, may the example of his life and his ever-present spirit continue to inspire and guide us to justice for all.

Choices...
We don’t discount every weakness As if it hasn’t any strength; Thinking instead of its vast possibility, Just as a tender seedling slowly grows Through natures harsh elements, It becomes a sturdy, nurturing tree. If we could see the end at t

Faith and Hope/ By Velvet Lover
I've written the above lines nearly twenty years ago. I hope it can be a humble light for anybody who believes the Earth is a hundred of languages and countries, but apart from each people flags, nationality, uses, folklore, etc...each one of us, human beings on Earth are a single leaf of a vast, immense, and unique, common cosmic tree, fed by only one source of all kinds of Life : the eternal fusion of Micro and Macrocosmos into a powerful will, which can, if well-trained...move mountains!
