Dumplings

Dumplings 

As I walk into the kitchen, for a snack, 
my mother, her apron, night black hair, and jade bracelet, 
 makes me dumplings.
She combines the mixture of monotonous ingredients
into something extraordinary. 

The water, like a youthful spring, rejuvenated the frozen, faltering fruits of nature, 
Mixing the Yangtzee, Hei Long Jiang, and Chang Jiang into a savory paste of veal and kiwi green scallions and chives.
The distinct sound of chopping drowned my thoughts, easing my stress, and bringing a unique rhythm into my mind. 
The dough, seeping under her fingers, was firm yet malleable 
as if she was molding
 the future. 

The clicking of the gas stove, rumbling of the pot, flattening of the dumpling skins, the clinking of bowls and chopsticks, the scrubbing noises in the sink. 

A rousing prelude to an intoxicating fugue…

Dinner

Mother and Daughter

A daughter is your whole world
Can go without
Job and ambition
Loitering and shopping
Grand feast
And gathering
Before marry
You're too absorbed
To remember your friends
After marry
You're too busy
To remember them too
Hei Hei
Just
A kind of carelessness
Just
A kind of selfless love

Joy Breeds Hope

Joy Breeds Hope

As my eyes look up to bright sunny skies
And I view soft shape shifting clouds float by
I feel hope instilled through my joyful eyes.
I take a deep breath, let out a long sigh.
Look at the trees how they've weathered the storms
They remain steadfast with beauty so fair
With outreaching limbs share shade in their forms;
Gifts for all creatures who breathe their fresh air.
We have been blest with this beautiful Earth.
Let kindness prevail in me and in you.
Souls need teaching from the on-set of birth
To respect others in all that they do.

Harmony dwells with new hope in God's love
As we connect Earth with heaven above.

Kung Hei Fat Choy!: “Congratulations and may you be prosperous”.
Happy Chinese New Year of the Tiger to everyone.

Chinese New Year 2022

Chinese New Year 2022 *

Oh no! again they've cancelled the Lion Dance
And the Dragons are also put on hold
How I longed to see them gyrate and prance
But the covid virus is still uncontrolled.

The sound of the drums, the cymbals and gongs
So intense and loud we jump with glee
Brilliant red lanterns and cheering throngs -
Their absence will be felt deploringly.

But we can visit the street booths in Chinatown
And wish our neighbors Kung Hei Fat Choy
We'll muster good cheer despite being let down
And firecrackers and Fa Gao we'll still enjoy.

Thus, we will celebrate Chinese New Year
Hopeful that the Tiger's strength will prevail
With his courage and prowess he'll banish our fear
And each hurdle we meet, we'll triumphantly scale.

Molly Moore
* Chinese New Year is a significant celebration in the culture of Hawaii.

Fim de semana

Ao fim da semana 
quero dizer:
o sonho; tu foste a meta diária 
por ti, tenho tanto 
de felicidade sonhada
quanto de meta superada! 

Dia seguinte; 
eu te vi, ó dia seguinte!
nunca hei de esquecer
que és na terra minha luz 
és o bem que me conduz.

Dia seguinte agora fala tu!
Eu te dou a palavra, 
eu quero escutar
para fazer mais e mais.

Greetings

To all of my friends on Poetry Soup,
you really are a dynamic poet troupe.
Though I’m not here every single day,
rest assured I’ll not stay away.

You’ve made me laugh and sometimes cry,
when your engaging works I do espy.
I sit here now with tea in cup,
occasionally I’ll take a sup.

Prodigious poems that I have faved,
command the entire center stage.
I revisit them whenever I’m down,
for them everyone deserves gold crowns.

Within this crisis there’s time to reflect
and take opportunity to reconnect.
So Guten Tag, Ola, Konnichiwa Shikamoo, 
G’day, Namaste, Shalom, Asalaam, to you.

Ciao, Yassas, Bonjour, Hola, Goddag,
Nin hao, Ahlan,  Privet, Goedendag,
Witaj, Halo, Helo, Selam, Hei, too;
stay well, I do appreciate you.

Prayer Morning 20200509

I
"Father" comes naturally
As eyes catch up with body
At this first dawn, we are reborn
Each day we awake. 'Might have gone
Where billions have, when they don't!

II
"LORD" with all the awe of an ancient Hebrew
I utter as my soul does bow
Thank you; YOU deserve all my gratitude
No longer I arise with a past attitude
Today comes with a fresh gift of hours
To do as we please - or upon what's gone before -
LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel, I praise Thee
If judgment in Covid19, I intercede for mercy
Not just for my country and me, but globally
WE deserve judgment, and we ask for mercy
Jesus showed us THY face of grace
Jesus, Yeshua, who died for us and Earth
To RESTORE, He is Redeemer, why He took birth
God reconciling fallen creation, to Himself
You are from everlasting to everlasting, "I AM"
Our elder siblings said it best, YHWH: Yod Hei Vav Hei
The tetragrammaton, so holy they didn't add vowels
And left it unsaid, so we also say "Lord, as in El Shaddai"
ALMIGHTY, the one who is our Mother, under whose wings
I abide. The secret place, Dear Abba-Father: Messiah-Christ!

(c) Shalom, shalom and amen. SHALL OM  (ShalAUM)

Fim De Dia

Fim de dia

Ao fim do dia queremos dizer: 
tu foste a meta diária do meu andar 
mui amada meta em dias 
sonhadores!
 
Ao fim do dia 
eu tenho tanto de felicidade sonhada para confessar, 
quanto mágoas para clamar 
e novamente eu te vi, 
ó  dia seguinte!

Dia seguinte
nunca hei de esquecer
que és na terra minha luz
és o bem que me conduz.

Dia seguinte
agora fala tu! 
eu te dou a palavra, 
eu quero escutar.

07 De Outubro Eu Vi

Explosão de 7 de outubro

7 de outubro:
Vi que de tudo, 
Especialmente 
Que: são as pessoas
que levam as coisas 
do princípio ao fim 
são aquelas que brilham.

Vi que 
Deus está NOS DETALHES:
VI QUE o segredo é
Atenção.
Por isso, 
à mulher consultora serei atenta
com tal cuidado 
e sempre, e tanto
que mesmo em face do maior desacato
cada dia mais 
meu pensamento
se encanta.

Vi que 
de tudo, à consultora serei atenta
Quero ouvi-la em cada vão momento
Hei de espalhar meu canto em sua celebração
E rir meu riso e derramar meu pranto
Ao seu pesar ou seu contentamento.

Vi que,
Saber e conhecer
sem disciplina 
é como um polvo 
a andar de patins. 
Existe uma abundância de movimento, 
mas nunca se sabe 
se vai ser para a frente, 
para trás ou para os lados.

Tangaroa Whakamiharo

E marino ana te tai
To mauri kaatoretore
Tukuna tou haukura kia rere
Hei whakaora i te hunga
He waahi hakoakoa
Rere ana to wairua whakamahu, he waahi muna, he korowai paataka kai.

Hei Ho Hei Ho

Hei Ho Hei Ho let us move to Beiho
                                    Beiho, the land of Karban and Peiho
                                        Karban gobbled my dear wife
                                       Peiho charged with bowie knife
                                    But I sent her to glory quid pro quo
