Glittering silver
shooting star arches the sky
disappearing fast

The major star who was hundreds of centuries old
was finally dying yet not in vain, for with its death
comes new life and new planets formed as it splinters
Water so cool and clear
life giving to all our worlds
stars birth formed you
As a star dies the gases ignite and fuse into droplets
these then are carried to other worlds to start new life
Scientists believe that all life came from these deaths
Moonshine beams dancing
causing flickering shadows
that dance joyously
Our own moon and all the sun's orbiting planets were
formed in one of these explosions. All we see and touch
came from a dying major star
Sunbeams hit the water
refracting and enhancing
the crystal river
Sometime in the future our own major star the Sun will
die leaving life as we know it gone yet as prophets
have said death is the start of rebirth so lets enjoy our stars
Stars hide their faces
behind the fluffy white cloud
just an odd twinkle

Ancient mountains brood
dominating the landscape
with majestic face

On Kevlar lines, a whole life suspended
Buckled into harness now
Feeling almost comfortable
Gliders inflate... shooting up into the sky
Like a kite without ties
Catching thermal pockets riding high
Like a bird, soaring upwards
Above awesome coastal ridges
Spectacular sceneries down below
Peaceful and serene
Enjoyed only by a few!

The old oak tree
Branch thick arms outstreached
Leaves falling
To the ground
Thickly they gather
Piled up high
Animals cower beneath their nest
The old oak
Sways in the cold winter breaze
Lustur gone now old branches broken
Leaves stripped bare
Naked branches exposed
Sways in the cold gray skies
Waits for spring then summmers lifes
Breeze

rain is falling on the window pane
with a very pleasant refrain
that is soothing to my brain
it does not leave a stain
so it's not a pain
it stopped it's reign
once again
there's no
rain

Time stopped two am
It said
I paused a while
Thinking about winding
Back time the clocks go back
Another hour in bed
More rem sleep for my restless head
More sheep to count
Before I can nod off to sleep
Restless I have become
Going to bed late
Counting time before I sleep
Exhusted I feel
When I wake all because I canonot sleep
Troubles on my mind make me ressless all the time
Weary I feel
Exhuated just because I cannot sleep
the clocks go back mmm more time I canot sleep
Eleven clocks I have to wind back tonight
Oh what a night mare
All because am counting
time

The hush before dawn
is fraught with poignant silence
as night turns to day
Trinkling sounds flow
through the air as the river
bounces over rocks
Deep silence abounds
and not a murmur to be heard
stillness shrouding all

Alone with nature
one can feel a strange unity
with everything around
Unity that is so strong
and overpowering
that one loses consciousness
of one's individual self
One's consciousness seems to merge
with a deeper consciousness
of the unity of all things
in nature and the cosmos
One experiences an awareness
of a deeper reality
that is impossible
to describe in words
At such moments
one has no consciousness
of time and space
but only of that moment
- the infinite eternal NOW
One makes contact
with one's cosmic roots
in a dimension where
time and space
are irrelevant
It is the synchronisation
of one's consciousness
with the absolute
and ultimate reality
of the cosmos
