Mercury shrinks as night weather falls
Grabbing the air in it's quiet whispered hug
Hailing to trade what was before
A simple degree of a place that was there
A drip of water freezes as it enters the night
Looking to refract mirrored image all Around
A drop at a time chambered freeze not a sound.
A seasonal life they tend to exude
Excaliber of Ice amidst a Chill in the air~

In a short time we’ve come so far,
From bicycle, to atom bomb to motor car,
Global warming, crops failing,
Millions starving, cos, it’s stopped raining,
Well I never…..
….Aren’t we marvellous and,
So very, very clever!

Don't be afraid if I just say "I love you",
It doesn't mean, far from it, please, believe,
That it is you with whom I am in love in real.
It means I love your spirit, love the way you are,
I love the soul in you, I love inquisitive mind.
Don't shy my love, I beg, don't shy such love as mine,
Cause it is not what matters much, no bond or lust.
My love for you is just sweet dreams, not more,
That stay with me, that I could share with all.
Just know, I love not you, I love the way you are,
I love your gentle spirit, love inquiring mind.
I'm lucky in a way, my love doesn't ask for gain,
Don't grudge me love obtained with so much pain.
It stays with me, it helps endure the strife,
Be what you are, be free, be restful in your life.
Don't be afraid, my love will never bring you pain.
I love the way you are, that's all, it is no more than that.
Be what you are, be you, be what I love and care,
Oh, does it seem too much, oh, do I ask to share?!

Raindrops falling
sky is blue
cloudless sky
morning dew
misty mountains
waking up
smell the coffee
poured in your cup
somebody somewhere
has falling tears
Loves sudden end
no reason said
he just went off
no words were said
mama was crying
on that summer day
only later understood why
we saw mama sit and cry
lots of mamas, singles, too
sofa tears hidden view

happy to dream of butterflies.
love to dream of little fires.
pleased to dream of hearts desires.
got to dream just to inspire.
want to dream of leafs that require.
promise to dream of love just dream happy

Space fabric is torn,
for,
in less than the time we may take to worry about a bill,
somewhere in the universe,
a star explodes, another is born,
ponder that for a second, think if you will,
when you have a moment or two......
to kill.

Life line of air
food, hope
births jubilation
as first miner
rises 700 meters
slowly to the top and
greets life’s sudden reality
transformed.
For two days we watched
as you dangled
one-by-one, by a cord
not nine months in the waiting
but no less powerful
in its consequence.
69 days of a surreal existence
buried in the bowels of the earth
President Pinera at full attention
with billions hidden by his side
the drama as ancient as the mine
an ingenious time capsule
created to turn back the clock
to safety before the fall
entombed miners.
We are the keepers of our
sisters and brothers
unspoiled by Cain’s touch
in a world that now knows the way
to Chile’s San Jose mine
Rescuer Manuel Gonzalez
gets into the Fenix capsule
taking his life into his own hands
descends into darkness
to discover the light.
Bloodshot eyes, tangled hair
tear-streaked cheeks await
the early to late risings
the stone rolled away
as a nation and the world
are reborn to hope.
No “great escape” this
but rather a rescue
driven by a bit and
the beating of human hearts.

Though written on the day of the rising, still not sure it is ready for the light.

I live my life
as I walk the white line
while my faith is carried in my heart not my hand
I've a brother in mankind
as we all bear a life that's planted in our seed
I believe in the good
and the best
that a life can bring to our door
We can give to ourself
a future of means
in the way that we see what's in front of our eyes
every moment every day
Reach down with your hand
pick up your feet
walk in them soft
From inside your mind you can ask what you need
believe in the truth
of the need that you ask
and see it appear
But your eyes have to see
in your past to be sure
what you need, you deserve
If you think it'll come
then you may want to ask
is it what I deserve
Life comes in circles
there's a start to an end of the life that you lead~

I am a grain of sand
On Universe's beach,
Washed by life's waves
Blowed by years wind.
I am a grain of sand
With thoughts and dreams,
In this huge Universe
I am a part of anything.
I am a grain of sand
Insignificant, so small,
Earth tourns continuosly
Whatever... I am here or not...
