And her music plays on
gone astray in a world of her own
she earnestly embraces her whims
dancing to a wistful melody
that truthfully only she can hear
and the abiding stars play along
spinning round in graceful harmony

Killing me softlyThe winter is
Killing me softly
I still go out during
The winter
For a walk
Around the block
I am also
Dressed warmly
And I still feel the cold
It is -19
Every day the temperature changes
I also can get sick with a flu
Now I finally returned back home
From my walk
I went back to my living room
Now I turn my computer on
And I had...

SolidaritySolidarity
Justification a delicate strand
Upon belief faith shall stand
A promise of an ancient oath
Doth not the hearts of man propose
To read the sacred creed of life
Stiffled with love our hearts ignite
A voice of solemn praise command
To live as one across the land
And now we see with unity
Come fill our garden of ecstacy
And climb each hill...

in the head of Claude DebussyI would have liked to be in the head of Claude Debussy,
write the “afternoon prelude of a faunal”,
Or "the toy box", or "Bergamasque suite", "La mer",
be a musician, a seer, and invent new music,
I would have liked to know all the images of the gardens,
I would have liked to write for clarinet, triangle
Or the piano...

Wake up wake upWake up wake up
Children of God
It is now a new day
That our father brought
For us
So we must wake up now
Children you need to play
Outside during the Summer
With other kids in your
Neighborhood
Because you have lots
Of energy
And you need to use your
Energy
Playing all day outside
Soon today
Our father will
End this day
The sun will go
And you will see
The sunset
Shining...

My Heart's Delight
Love's proximity surprised me,
In my own state, a gem I'd see.
Christy Ola, humble and kind,
Unique nature, beauty one of a kind.
Her heart beats not for wealth's gold,
But inner beauty, talents to behold.
She'd sacrifice time, talent, and might,
A love that's patient, loyal, shining bright.
As she approached, I asked with glee,
"Do you love me?" Her smile said...

A ballad for Father's dayYou are my sunshine in the sky
You are my ocean
Full of whales
You are my dreams
Of tomorrow
You are the tree that is growing
Here on earth
You are that beautiful wildflower
Inside my heart
You are the rain that is watering that beautiful wildflower
That is inside of my heart
You are the mountains that I climb each day
With pride and joy

We made the choiceWe made the choice
To follow Jesus
Into his house
We made the choice
To go to and have a meal
With Jesus
Because he is the one that
Invited us to his table
We had drunk some wine
And ate the host
We made the choice
Also to accept Jesus
Into our lives
We made the choice
To live by Jesus rules
We made the choice
That we are going...

A Wilderness of MirrorsLife is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it." Unknown
**************************************************************
A Wilderness of Mirrors
Hurled in a wild wilderness of mirrors
I know not the exit door for escape,
All I can do is like birds to twitter,
Light from the mirrors seems at me to ape.
Where lies the real door I cannot...

Never AgainI plant my feet firm on this ground
And declare with every breath in my body—
Never again.
Never again will I shrink myself
To fit into spaces not built for my expansion.
Never again will I dim my light
To make others comfortable in their darkness.
Listen—
My body remembers every time I said "yes" when I meant "no."
My spirit carries...
