The Last Lantern
lantern quivers dusk,
shadows twist like whispered secrets--
fireflies thread the sky.

Early Sunrise
Early Sunrise
golden dawn in view
new orb splatters orange tints
birds’ songs fill the air
signs of divine grace from sky
spread bright hues of hope on earth
gilded orb ascends
summer warmth spreads in the space
nature starts anew

Standing in the Rain
pain is like a storm
rivers of tears overflow
with cold chill and flood
sharp arrows from the dark clouds
pierce into my hope for joy
strong wind whips my heart
hurting my spirit and soul
but not my firm faith

Her words wrote the justice that we deserved
Basking in the sunlight
In a field of flowers
A peaceful look in her
She looks up to the sky
And realises how much she loves life
This is all she wanted
In a world that eradicates through hatred
In this moment She felt grounded
Listening to the sounds of nature
She lost a lot of her

Tiniest Glimmers
The first signs of spring—
the lily of the valley
bordering the garden.
The faint sounds of baby birds:
tiniest glimmers
of the beauty that surrounds us
daily.
The green foliage,
a tapestry of wonders.
Feel the soft mound beneath your feet.
A butterfly—
a sign of life—
flutters away.
In the distance, the sound of a baby’s cries—
a miracle
surrounded with hope.
The clouds, so light and fluffy,
a different

In the Wake of Light
At break of dawn, the world seems still,
Yet stirs beneath the hush and chill.
The moon, though fading, holds her place,
As sunlight paints the sky with grace.
Palm trees stand with stately pride,
Their fronds in morning breezes glide.
Along the shore, bright laughter plays,
As children frolic in ocean sprays.
Soft breaking waves caress the shore,
Our footprints fade, seen no

THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING
O dear queen of spring,
Please make me fly with your wing,
You arrived for the flowers to bloom,
Decorating my garden like a wedding groom!
You gave fragrance to my flowers,
And filled them in all my bowers,
You must be a magician,
And someone with a heart in which kindness is as high as towers.
You gave life to my plants,
And

Sun Kissed
tall shoots lift their vibrant flowers
cheerful in sunshine and showers
erasing shadows of dawn’s mist
revealing the awe in sun kissed
beautiful light falls on the soul
whisper of peace to make one whole
nature’s singing, God does exist
revealing the awe in sun kissed
dreams of light fall across the skies
revealing to hearts how time flies
still, on and on, our life

Apricity
For he once witnessed the winter sun on the day of apricity
Psychrophilic creatures make their retreat to their subnivean brumation
Emerging pools on the ice-covered pond foretell the primaveral
Then, without warning, the gale strikes his face, shattering the sun’s affection
Sheets of frozen fluidity cache away the verdant landscape
May this apricity simply be a mirage of the
