The moon is so beautiful especially tonight
Caressing the darkness with it's soft gentle light
It feels like Im moving in circles when I look at the stars in the sky
Like when I stand on the shore watching the oncoming tides
And just for a moment at my own will
I could stretch out my arms and make time stand still

The sunrise is so beautiful especially today
Painting colors in the sky over a canvass of gray
For all that I've outlived and all I've outgrown
For all of the creatures that at times call me home
And just for a moment I felt a peace deep within
Because I never noticed before that I was such a gift

But now my landscape is ravaged and the shoreline is gone
And all of the creatures have already moved on
In the eye of a hurricane Im just a tree
Bending and breaking to its mercy
But in the midst of the chaos Im still standing strong
Beneath the moon and the sun all the heavens and God

Schönste Gefühl (Most Beautiful Feeling)

Es ist ein seltsames Gefühl habe ich
es kommt und geht in mir
kein Name davor erscheint
wie es in der Nacht versteckt
es ist nicht vom Mondlicht beleuchtet
die Sonne bei Tag nicht seine Freundin
was ist das seltsame Gefühl?
Ich glaube nicht, meine Stimmung kenne mich
ob es bedeutet, Schäden oder gut
Nur der Himmel weiß, das Geheimnis
und dann von dort eine Stimme
sagte mir klar und deutlich:
dieses seltsame Gefühl ist die Liebe
das ist, warum Sie so frieren
ein weiteres Mal, wenn Sie so heiß fühlen
die Sterne im Himmel jubeln
zu wissen, dass Sie diese Gabe haben
und Ihre Augen geben ihm Leben
das Mondlicht und die Sonne
Herold seine Offenbarung wie
eine Blume blüht im Licht
jetzt, dass seine bekannte, sag mir,
Was ist dieses Gefühl aufgerufen wird?
Es ist ein vertrautes Gefühl der Tat
für diejenigen, die einen Komfort verloren
und Liebhaber überall
es ist das schönste Gefühl
um unter dem Himmel zu entdecken
ein seltsames Gefühl, einen Namen gegeben,
ist wirklich ein unvergesslicher Anblick
dass der Name für die kommenden Zeiten
wird unter dem blauen Himmel
und den Engeln und den Menschen bekannt sein
von den höchsten Höhen auf die Erde
ist die Liebe in die Seelen der Menschen
und landet die Sonne und die Sterne.

There is a strange feeling I have
it comes and goes within me
no name appears in front of it
as it were hidden in the night
its not illuminated by moonlight
the sun by day is not its friend
what is this strange feeling?
I do not know myself my mood
whether it means harm or good
only heaven knows the secret
and then a voice from there
said to me loud and clear:
this strange feeling is love
that's why you feel so cold
another time you feel so hot
the stars in heaven rejoice
to know you have this gift
and your eyes give it life
the moonlight and the sun
herald its revelation like
a flower blooming in the light
now that its known, tell me
what this feeling is called?
Its a familiar feeling indeed
to those who are lost a comfort
and to lovers everywhere
its the most beautiful feeling
to discover under heaven
a strange feeling given a name
is truly a sight to behold
that name for the ages to come
will under the blue sky
be known both to angels and mankind
from the loftiest heights to the earth
is the love in men's souls
and that alights the sun and the stars.

LifeThirst

Welcome, New Year, 2015

Hail to thee, the messenger of new hopes and aspirations,
Bring the message of a glorious life and inspirations,
We look forward to thee for you are yet a mystery
Who will someday become history,
But that history, we hope, will sing the song of victory,
Of human glory over all narrowness and misery.

Ich bin ganz zufrieden (I am quite happy)

Ich sehe das Meer
Ich freue mich auf den Mond
um mich herum
ist dunkel und still
Nur ruhig
mein Herz weiß
ist in dem Tempo
meiner ruhigen Atem
Ich lebe in einer Welt,
wo keine Blätter
rascheln im Wind
doch für das Leben von mir
Ich kann das Meer nicht sehen
aus meinen eigenen Platz -
im fernen Dunkelheit
erscheinen die Berge
Brüten in Geheimnis
wie mein Leben unerkennbar
so meine Hoffnung, der Liebe
noch, kann Ich mich nicht beklagen
da jeden Tag
Ich bin ganz zufrieden
mit dem, was lieben Gott
hat mich gesegnet.


I see the sea
I look at the moon
all around me
is dark and still
the only calm
my heart knows
is in the pace
of my quiet breath
I live in a world
where no leaves
rustle in the wind
yet for the life of me
I cannot see the sea
from my own place -
in far-off darkness
appear the mountains
brooding in mystery
like my life unknowable
as my hope of love
still, I don't complain
since every day
I am quite happy
with what Dear God
has blessed me.

About this poem:
I wrote the poem to say that what I lack is not as important as my serenity and everything I'm blessed with.

So many people complain and are resentful and I am grateful for what I do have and I learned how to give thanks for it.

Life can be lonely but even then I look forward to every day and appreciate being happy is all I need most in life.

WORDS

Speak gentle words, so others will incline their ear
to better hear, the words you have to say.
Speak harsh or unkind words,
then surely, they will only turn away.

Please don't aim your words like arrows,
the sort, that so often wound the soul.
For words can make a loving, warm heart,
turn into one, that's icy cold.

For once words tumble off the tongue,
you can never, call them back.
Now just as deadly missiles,
they're launched only, to attack.

You can't control the words, that others may say,
but the words you speak, are always up to you.
Pray,that you choose each one wisely,
asking if it's good or harm, that your words will do ?

For words can either build a body up,
or tear a body, slowly down.
Cracking and crumbling the foundation of a life,
that once stood so firm, on solid ground.

About this poem:
Words like our thoughts, carry a strong energy ! I wrote this poem, as a reminder to myself-to always remember... just how powerful words truly are. In particular, those that we speak, to our selves !

Never Alone !

Where is my child ?
I miss her, I miss her smile !
But I can't seem, to find her anywhere.
Is she lost behind, that empty stare ?

I search her beautiful eyes now, so very blue
I search for the soul, that I once knew to be so true
For the one I see, my heart does no longer recognize.
She has hidden herself, beneath a blurry, dark disguise, why ?

Doesn't she remember ? Oh, how can she not know ?
Just how very much, that she is loved and is needed so.
Why does she numb herself, to be as unfeeling as stone ?
How could she have forgotten ?, that she is never alone.

For she is connected, to that greater love so pure, so strong.
A love that would never leave her and has been with her all along.
It shines down upon her, as bright as the shiniest light, that has ever shone.
It surely wants her to know, that she is never alone !

It surrounds and follows her everywhere.
Believing, that the knowing part of her soul, still knows it's there.
So I'll have faith while I wait and I pray a mother's prayer.
Never wanting to ever think, what I know my heart could never bear.

For she has so very much to give, a most precious life to live and so much to share.
So many special gifts, of which she is not yet fully aware.
Until she can see crystal clearly, through unveiled eyes.
Only then can she know, that she already has the most greatest prize.

To again feel what is really real and know it's already her very own
For from the start, she became an integral part and not unfeeling stone.
Eternally connected to that greatest unfailing love and not ever, no never, never alone.
Never alone !

About this poem:
I think this poem explains itself ! After seeing a very close relative go through a very difficult patch, I was inspired to write this, as I also love her as dearly as my own.

Ghost

I thought I saw a ghost last night
Flicker out like candle light
Then softly glow behind a tree
And reaching out, it beckoned me.

I felt a tugging at my heart
And soon my world came apart
Like spider webs on rainy days
And tattered clouds o'er windy bays.

And as I watched the eerie glow
I thought of things I used to know
Like friends once close that now have gone
Or words to ancient, nameless songs.

But when I tried to walk that way
The light grew dim and could not stay
Attached to common earthly things,
And flew away on angel wings.

Now all I have are empty fears
Of moonlit nights and passing years
And all that you could give to me
Will never serve to set me free

About this poem:
Written on Halloween night, of course. I just took an idea I had and ran with it. I have since converted it to a song.
I just realized I left a verse off. Fixed now.

not thought of it

Sleep well throughout the night
Don't be disturbed or be in fright
Wake up Dear Canary,
The sky is bright
Wake up Dear Canary,
Get ready for your flight
The world is all set for your sight
