Finding PeaceFacing my new reality can be overwhelming
I am blessed to be the mother of two sons
one of which is accomplishing great things
here on earth and the other is in heaven
I have always been proud of both of my sons,
and of course, I love them both no matter what,
but it is difficult knowing that my youngest...

Summer's Glow
pleading petals play gently in the sun
whispering joy across the sticky skin
summertime blessings cannot be outdone
however, autumn is her next of kin
praying roses and melancholic buds
remembering our heart’s tender healing
hanging in timeless ache of fair redbuds
season’s bliss lifts shadows who’re concealing
promising the night stars, moon and fireflies
rousing such beauty the skies come to life
only God...

Death of the EgoI never thought they would figure me out
How could they find me in the layers of illusion?
I never thought one could completely turn about
So many pleasures, I kept them in confusion
Now after all these years, it has come to this
I push the same buttons, but their minds start to think
They’ll kill their ego in their...

SoloYesterday filled my cup
Tonight I go solo
Today I refill my soul
Just me and myself
Self-care is today’s business
Recharging my spent innards
Tomorrow back into the wild
Next week back to the pile
Never alone with faith
Just me and my God
I need today to face tomorrow
Future requires loving the present

The PearlHeavy is the head that holds the crown
I desire to be his purple peace
When the world is beating him down
May he know he can come to me
I’ll kiss away your turquoise tears
And block all the negativity
Together we will face white fears
And create consistent chocolate peace
The heart of a man is a priceless Pearl
That...

The Quiet Things That Saved MeI was saved by quiet things—
The rustle of the morning breeze,
The way the robin spreads its wings,
The golden drift of autumn leaves.
I was saved by threads of light
That touched my skin through broken blinds,
By distant stars that pierced the night,
By echoes I had left behind.
I was saved by falling rain—
The softest tears the sky could...

TEXAS FLOODING WARSTEXAS FLOODING WARS
(Apropos Of A Lesson Of Nature)
The flood waters came,
leaving lost lives washed away;
eyes flooded with tears:
Nature herself, warring with
collateral disaster:-
So many children
won’t be thirsty anymore;
flood waters drowned them:-
Let us thirst for quenching peace:
our human nature flooded:-

DrowningI’m drowning.
I’m getting pulled under.
I can feel the water slowly filling my lungs
as I scream for help,
but that scream is muffled by the crashing waves,
crashing into me
and knocking me off my feet.
I can’t get back up.
These waves are too strong,
and I feel the weight that I carry on my shoulders
shoving me under,
keeping me down.
This weight...

Coffee together at sunsetWe had a day
straight out of a dream,
perfect in every way.
We savoured our favourite dinner,
satiated, kicked back,
put up our feet.
It was pure harmony,
we didn't want it
to ever end.
Front row seats
for the best outdoor
show in town.
A mug of french vanilla
coffee in hand,
we were one with the universe....

TranscendenceRecognising thought and senses as veils,
to exit this maze where dream forms amaze,
we enter staid silence whence presence sails,
in the vast void, invoking grace that stays,
pastures of bliss, upon which we then graze.
Bliss too transforms as peace beyond space-time,
where we as living light, heavenward climb....

Fury Breaks Its SilenceFury Breaks Its Silence
From South to North Pole, and beyond
Glaciers crack, not by time,
but by the toxins we’ve forced into the sky.
Each gas, each smoke trail,
a fingerprint on the Earth’s rising pulse.
The Amazon chokes on fire,
not lightning-born but sparked by greed,
Its breath turned to ash by axes and ambition,
It's silence now, a scream.
On Andaman’s edge,...

What Breaks My Heart
I love you – even when the smile is shy
I love you, even when I can’t say why
I love you, when my tears just won’t dry
I love you, with a love I can’t deny
What breaks my heart completely, dear
Are the tears that sting with dark fear
The mourning that I so dread to hear
The feelings...

Say No to War!Once in a century there comes a notable war,
To prove how uncivilized human beings are!
One steps up, reaching for the star,
The other steps down,
Leaving a never-vanishing scar.
O ruled people! Say no to war,
It has always favored the rulers so far.
“We are the saviors of the world,” they say,
Yet the shepherdless flock is left as prey.
What...
