As jy jou pyn buite wys 
sal vriendelike,
Irreterende vreemdeling 
jou inlig dat die wêreld 
aanhou draai.
En hulle is reg.

dit smeek om te stop.
Dit hou aan draai.

Ek word wakker...

Birth of spring beckons new life

Casting aside the winter nights

Dancing gay the flowers bloom

From the trees the wind chime

Grasses lush and green grow tall

Will you come with me where
Everything is magical?

Wonder awaits you, and everything
Is beautiful!

Luxury surrounding us!

Pack your bags.

Ready for adventure? Are you ready for 
The best time of 
Your life?

Go, go my dear butterfly
On to the garden of flowers you go
Don’t ever funk to flutter in wind
'll be watching your funny leaps.

So gracious from flower to flower
Gliding and swimming through the air

Wonder what joys may we proclaim
Endure love, happiness, peace and freedom

Whether it be through storm, struggle or strife.
Inhibit not your pain; temporally numb 
Limit only nothing

Articulating silence
Regret not, revel now—present...

Undulating fashion, hovering over yellow petals and deep golden seeds.  
Nestled in soil slim tall and beautiful, birthing cordially...

Getting old I view death differently,

Recalling both the good days and the bad. 

Eventually, everyone will die

And death should be as momentous as birth

Tomorrow's sunrise grieves today's sunset.


Escaping the confines of the body

Souls seek out...

full moon of summer solstice
breaking the walls of hidden emotions
onder the bushes
passion of simmering under currants
revealed
profound impact of the divine wisdom
night of private reflections
heightening ascensions
patchy drizzle clouds engulf
darkness spread like a 
magic carpet
a dog barked...
