And one in the world make it be the best.

and often had lied
pride at all was none

"A ghoul's parade"Time remains still for
The silent, eternal march
Of children disguised

"Fun for All"Black and orange smiles
A knight of ghastly terror
for playful sprites

pierces the children's laughter
The cold hallows wind

Sparkle of kiss
Pitter-patter of raindrops
Therapy rebirth

Sparkle of rain
Seeking possession--a kiss
Sparkling clashes

Confiding through rain
And after the rainbows fade
Retired in your arms

Simple life we shared
I walked with you in the rain
All the blues drifted

Unbecoming rain
Heeded to lover’s...

My family is my life,
Supports me in life.

Caring for me at all times.
I am blessed with them.

So lucky to be
related to these humans.
Lord, I thank you now!

No matter...

    "Hurricane Havoc"



dangerous winds rage
uprooting trees to tumble
drenched by rain torrents.

flooding waters wrath
swallow bridges crumbled stones
violence and death.

power lines cascade
sparking flames igniting homes
volatile darkness.

ocean waves invade
breaching sand dunes overflow
beaches dwell with fish.
