golden sunny dawn
butterflies kiss jinias
hummingbirds whistle
Dawn: At dawn, spending unlimited time in my garden, which is a refuge for reflections, solitude and introspection, is the best jouissance life can bring. I am mesmerized with the way the butterflies, flowers and birds nurture our creative souls.

today storm blew vigorously, trees shook violently, everything in my balcony fell down but nothing happened to the crows nest in front of my bedroom window.
heavy storm blowing

My husband and I got a new RV.
A camouflage Polaris. No small fee!
Atop a mountain hubbie took that thing,
then stopped to rest himself beneath a tree.
He got up in a while, then made a groan.
It would not start; furthermore, his phone
was out of area. What could he do?
He stayed up on the mountain all alone.
At last somebody helped my husband, so
he was able then to get a tow,
which cost a lot of money. Anyway,
I hope next time he starts it, it will go!
The next day hubbie’s back looked really sick
because he’d had the janky luck to pick
up something as he lay beneath the tree -
it was an ugly big blood-sucking tick!

JOYFUL and JANKY
Bay of Bengal swells, bubbles to boast
of huge tidal waves to dash, thrash, on coast.
Amazing enchanting trip to Thailand.
Exciting venture of sail on speed boat.
Patayia, Bangkok, Phuket we covered.
Peerless treasures of Ocean were observed.
Submarine voyage was just wonderful.
Astonishing sea-view was discovered.
A glamorous gorgeous performance,
Fantastic show of Thailand chanced to glance.
Watched wild animals to walk free in park,
Gigantic big seal stood on tail to dance.
All along nice stay in five- star hotel.
Last day occurrence was janky to tell.
Travel agent arranged horrible meal
on dirty road side: ‘A Terrible tale.’

Indigos, light workers, empaths are hear
Struggling to change the errors of yesteryear
Power, money, corruption and greed
Will no longer be the motive that leads
The 60's, the freedom, they tried with defiance
The ones in power had them silenced
Like darwins theory of evolution
We are born for the revolution
There is too much pain in the world we've created
The ones who have tried have been banished and sedated
With antidepressants, Ritalin and crack
A lot of the indigos have been held back
This change will come, but take many a year
When it is over, they'll be no more fear
