By moody swings of gods up high,
Their breath alone enraged and bold.

In the dark of night history spoke,
Of a world alive...

Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,

they all decended into the lush fields of poetic madness,

their blooming heads bending...

issued by a grave impala
were highly sought out missives

PART I
The Joy of a birth, his own shine penetrating his eyes,
The new out born fruit of a long spend love,

With the scarlet spoon

In whispered hushes, the year awakes,
A canvas fresh, where dreams will take.
January’s breath, crisp and clear,
A brushstroke bold in time’s frontier.

Resolutions inked in hearts anew,
Paths imagined, leading...

When she finally got to go
For a wonderful visit to see

Since many years had passed
Without any visits at all
Now the time was...

Politicians are mostly just an exaggerated version
of sellers and advertisers of lies, dubious,
Their words are like glittering globes, enticing but empty,
Promising dreams wrapped in gilded lies,
Their smiles are like masks painted with false sincerity,
Selling illusions...
