Rainbow's in a waterfall, magical, beautiful and breathtaking.
Lovely to watch, inspiring hope and dreams.
But always keep your distance when the waterfall is strong or you could be broken and become part of the rainbow.

humanity, we're losing it
I dedicate this to all victims of war, specifically UKRAINE, The newest victim.
humanity where are we?
in full gear, fully armed
we are on the war path
and directly heading to be damned
Kyiv a city of beauty and light
accosted by the atrocities
of what is wrong and unjust
have we gone berserk
have we lost our minds?
have we embraced the dark
and forget there is light?
oh what an excuse, imperialist
here and there:
making the rich live in decadence
while the poor and wretched live lower than dirt?
you have forgotten
this day has been prophesied
it has been written and destined
alas, the eighty percent in jubilation
thinking it is their redemption
perhaps, it is..
but oh no, this is the mark
the progression of the "haves"
at the expense of the have "nots"
sure, laugh at me, I face your contempt
it is my fault for not standing up
as you remain silent to my pleas
the time has come
let us face and dance
your God and my God,
is one and the same
but my right to live,
my freedom,
doesn't make any difference
we're all born naked
and back to dust no more no less
one and the same..rotten
and when dead
buried in the same dirt.
Thanks all for reading andor commenting.

War is brutal and vicious. If only man can learn to resolve conflicts without resorting to this game

online today!
When its pitch dark after supper
And you find yourself wanderin’ home
You know you should just keep going
But you don’t always want to be alone
That’s just the right reason I guess
To help us all understand
A special moment to gather
And stand tall among each other
This special bond of patriotism
Never gathered never learned
Still just as important as ever
A lifestyle we were born
I love the ways the stars appear
Each and every night
If I could just paint better
Than I could describe whatever
I would behold something beautiful
As only life we can give to each other
One life one world one generation
We cannot behold to time
What belongs to us
What we wake up with every morning
What is betrayal as sins against us
What we endear to learn foreboding
What we encounter every day
What we have courage to defend
To engage and construct a step forward
We must never disengage each other
Togetherness makes us strong

i sit and i watch the river flow
and wonder where it will go
in the hope someone might know
then i ponder what to do
now i am without you
knowing that the years we had where to few
i watch it roll on by i dream
of where this river will empty , this mighty little stream.
like this river our lives slowly disappear,
as we continue to grow old year by year by year.

I run looking for a place
a safe place
A place where my soul breaks free
I look for the fresh air of roses
I seek the peace of silence
I look for the peace of the lost smile
I'm looking for crystal clear waters
I'm looking for your safe haven

WE WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
clinging to our bodies, a most potent poison
on such a massive force humanity seems in oblivion
rendering all of us unprepared and hopeless
unprecedented and never been this helpless
could it be that it is really the end?
foretold and prophesied from previous generations?
or this is an act of carelessness, sort of random?
pushing us to feel how it is to be doomed?
alas, the world seems scurrying
praying and kneeling begging for mercy
hypocritical in a far reaching effect
i can feel it, looks very temporary
it reminds me when 9/11 happened
the same situation and the same pattern
before that event the churches were so empty
then- the wails and fears it seemed like eternity
it came to pass, we have survived
again, back to normal like it always was
same old habits of going astray
and again, back to ordinary ways
then this virus came, what a surprise
we are helpless again, this time it is more than that
fear and panic seems the rule of the day
what do we do? again...kneel and pray
oh yes, oh Lord we ask
for the last time, please do forgive us
in Your Hands, please don't make us astray
this time, we will be with You, Always.
IN THE NAME OF OUR FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
we lay down to you our trust
to you we offer, our soul, body and heart
for You alone Lord can truly save us
not anyone, not any force but YOU our God.
Amen.

In the moonlit night, our love takes flight,
Two souls entwined, shining so bright.
Underneath the stars, our hearts align,
A love story written in celestial design.
Your touch, a gentle breeze upon my skin,
Ignites a fire, a passion deep within.
In your eyes, I find my solace and peace,
A love so pure, it will never cease.
With every whisper, your voice a sweet melody,
A symphony of love that sets me free.
Together we dance, our hearts in sync,
Lost in a world where only love can think.
Your laughter, a symphony that fills my soul,
Turning life's moments into something whole.
In your arms, I find my sanctuary,
A place where love blossoms, extraordinary.
No words can capture the depth of what I feel,
A love so profound, it seems unreal.
You are my muse, my forever inspiration,
A love story written in eternal celebration.
So let us embrace this love we share,
In a journey of love beyond compare.
For in your presence, my heart finds its home,
Forevermore, together we shall roam.

"I sometimes dream of a love that the world would lay down and be still for '

*I found a Man I just can't stop kissing "

Two clocks keeping separate times
One I hear everyday
The other I can’t hear its too far away
And how would I know so much
If it wasn’t for knowing you
I can only dream the same way
Perhaps having lost my way
I journey lonely in my dreams
Where distance doesn’t mean
We will always be far away
In both our dreams are awoken
The words that are left unspoken
That distance measured in miles
No matter will still create smiles
This bond remains unbroken
And only when chance is taken
And out of our dreams awaken
The two clocks will synchronize
Our dreams will then materialize
For all time is in the making
