City light dazzles the eyes of man
But the spell of corruption has an iron hand
It blocks the truth and holds one down
Till chaos and confusion is only found
Children are born innocent and pure
Have no way out of the lure
Generations of greed, jealousy and pain
Create a state of living in vain
The universal law holds the key
The door is open for all to see
A thread of hope can guide ones stay
For those who wish to improve their way
Choose each stepping-stone with care
For every action the soul will wear
Return to the core of one’s true self
Truth, compassion, tolerance is true wealth
1992, a precious teaching was revealed
The great universal law, Falun Dafa is real
Truth can arouse the deepest of souls
Return to one’s true self is the ultimate goal

From ground to high sky
birds fill break of day with song
feathered hymns rejoice—
dawn chorus of wing and will
call all to join nature's voice
Magpie's carolling
ignites dawn with fluted bells
welcoming chorale
in day-break's cathedral dome
joyous songs of devotion
Willie Wagtail struts
tail flicks like a metronome
swagger in each step—
black-and-white little soldier
stakes claim to place of its own
Grey Fantail arc skits
with tail flits like restless fan
chaos ensemble—
air itself shakes in the dance
with its frantic flight patterns
Superb Fairy-wren
courageous, blatantly bold
blazes bright in blue—
outlandish flare on green leaves
with its beauty turned to dare
Eastern Whip-bird cracks
the lash to rouse sleepy heads
who missed the alarm
stumbled wobbly out of bed—
hoping no one would notice
The Welcome Swallow
adept aerial maestro—
dazzles watching throngs
with its acrobatic stunts
snatching at insects mid-flight

In silent drumbeats of depression
throbs a fractal life of no "visualization".
dandelions fluffing in howling winds
fight with Halloween "hallucinations".
behind the dusk of a sealed doorway lies
a vast empty space of no sun-showers...
I need a spaceship
to take me to a place I have never been
many lightyears away to another planet.
Where timeline untangles and "dream" floats
treading "whimsy" paths by moonlight.
Where crystalline castles of "imagination"
build chimeras over craterous depths.
Where a wandering soul can escape
into "reverie" flights of a wishful heart.
Where in pure beauty of the still night
dazzles a chest of rubies in onyx eyes.
Coding messages in long forgotten songs
through rows of roses, Will I get my Mozart?
In foams of a sea, only sorrow and suffering,
Will my status quo change to a happy ending?

“This is a familiar route and one of the most common ones (at least to my seasoned eyes; you may find it beautiful)” — overheard.

A day like any other,
but also
a day like no other—
She’s losing the threads again.
No—she’s finally starting to see.
—A day like any other.
The bus hustled over
cracked cement in damp air—
a sight scorched
to the back of my skull.
I sat in my window seat
like it’s a
reflex—
a voice nudges me in the ribs
break something— it said
—anything,
just stopping sitting here.
I switched sides
before my brain can question
if it makes sense.
I let my eyes drink out
the other window—
A smidge of red—a balloon.
Something navy—a child’s backpack.
A birdless branch wobbles—
My gaze drifts up,
the sun reply with dazzles—
For a second,
everything rhymed.

“Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.” Lorenz Hart
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
What an extraordinary eyesight
To gaze at a blue moon with delight
With its wonderful shine in the sky
That dazzles the iris of the eyes.
Eyes, indeed, are lured with such relish
Sky with such tints diffuses great bliss
Delight flows from the heart of viewers
Sight of such beauty charms good suitors.
Such scenes sink deep in the memory.

This bejeweled heart dazzles
with such fine adornments.
Beads, feathers, and a smile
simmer beneath fragile skin.
A cauldron of courtship,
this bejewels heart dazzles.
Flowers and a long stroll,
you’ve made me vintage decor.
Can I have more of it?
I’ll bathe in what’s timeless.
This bejeweled heart dazzles
with extravagant romance.
A moonlit carriage ride,
the scenery will seduce.
With the allure of the 4 C’s
this bejeweled heart dazzles.

geese are arriving or going
straight lines crisscross the sky
a history of contrails
in a blue honking yonder
under
a brightly birthed daylight
eyesight cannot settle
but dazzles
upon fleeting wingtips
geese continue to fly
through gaps in time
ghost planes still roar
over unseen horizons
a peddle bike and hunched rider
whoosh past me
a streetlamp sprints
around my eyes
whichever way I go
the sky gets there before me
only to redraw the shape
of what has only just now -
occurred

glisten on her light skin
so so smooth to be seen
in the sun's brightness
she dazzles with such flair

May’s Grace
May, a month of rebirth and beauty
A graceful picture to be painted
A passionate season to make you inclined
She dazzles you with beauty and grace
The inspiration behind nature's warm embrace
She is polite with kind eyes
A brave soul with light winds
A mind of wonder and exploration
Her personality shines brighter than a star
Other months admire her from afar
She weeps at night when her light shines no more
Hoping for the next day to spring forward
Shadows cover her beauty scars
She cures them with comfort and compassion
A healer from Mother Nature
Flowers answers when she calls
Bees sing her awing song
She enhances the world from the ground up
Her worst fear of the winter
When the cold makes the earth corrupt
A month of prosperity and charity
A radiant glow with eternal layers
A warm illumination of good fortune
A tender hug towards the mid-year
Her benevolent man brings you good cheer

Longing to witness the necklace of the horizon's dress,
Dreamer, as friends affectionately address.
Building castles in the mind's eye,
Imagery where fairyland dazzles high.
Woven in reverie, miracles appear,
A red carpet of bubbling desire draws near.
Swaying in the mystic ballet, I lose my senses,
As a flicker of light through the stillness dispenses.
Vision unfolds in kaleidoscopic hues,
As the spirit of the universe pulsates in blues.

steps in veiled autumn
rose bushes sad crave for warmth
sprawled leaves create art
nature's spree over
glimmering streaks of light spread
on glorious fields
pumpkin patch dazzles
birds end yearly rendezvous
time to fly back south

Curling swirling tenderly
To grasp and gasp and breathe the light of life back into me
Touch the skies with vines so like the fibres of an inter-mingling woven tapestry
Dazzles my eyes as I look at the flickering leaves, the pupils they do please, they tease
The rays pulsate, they dilate
It's a whispering love of an earthly kind
So at ease
Never die, evergreen free
To blaze all trails to the core of a world they
Only see
