Crabsa crab sheds his shell
vulnerable for six weeks
a new shell appears
stronger than ever
he struts across the beach sand
less vulnerable

Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of timeWithout her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time,
I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky,
She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset,
I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless.
It wasn't her fault, no shadow of...

TIME WAITS FOR NOBODYOn a sunny day
Right in my parlour
Laying on the couch
I was going through my phone
Then I paused for a moment
Because of the sound of our wall clock.
The time keeps ticking
Every second
You see how busy nature is
Why sitting without labouring?
Don't choose comfort
At the age of labour
Then you...

On The Record
All that I am I gave away
For just to come and see
The ever-dying summer day
With sunlight through your tree
You’ve gone, but on the record
Your voice remains with me
It takes about split second
To change the time, to be
Back in the endless days
To see again your smile
You’re talking through November haze
I answer from July..

THE HOURGLASSTHE HOURGLASS
I watch the grains of sand as they slowly sift through my grandfather’s vintage hourglass. Time doesn’t move slowly, though. Instead, it seems as if the hourglass has cracked open, and all the sand is quickly spilling out.
I wonder if anyone else notices this phenomenon—how many days, minutes, and hours run through...

Will the Time Ever Come?I work each day in peaceful chaos,
A tireless race where I wear my fatigue like a badge of honour.
Sleep? A stranger I rarely greet.
I chase knowledge like tomorrow won’t let me try again—
Straining past my limits, just to say “I’ve done my best.”
I push beyond what’s humanly possible,
Only to fall short of a dream...

It’s That Time of Year: It’s So Hot!There are four seasons every year on earth.
They are Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

This season is mostly good for the plants.

All living things need sunlight to live too.
It’s so hot, but need to get used to it.
Oh, the sun! The sun! The...

Somewhere My Other WaitsSomewhere, in a hush not bound by walls
My other waits...
Not the twin of flesh
But the echo I left behind...
When I chose to live, this time forward.
And if I call...
A silence answers.
For then, when I better listen...
It breathes my name
From both ends of the sky....

Shady WayYour cheeks are tending to the ground
And I’m so slow today
Look at the memory I’ve found
Before it flies away
The lifeline furrow on your palm
Runs through the hills and dales
Inside the storm it could be calm
Despite the blowing gales
My glasses gleam with gold and brown
I have to go again
I cannot see what time is now
Could be...

Times TimeWe sure had fun, without a doubt
We shared a laugh or two
Who couldn't find a harmony
Who didn't know verse 2
I'll miss those times, they meant so much
But like all times they flew
Though most of all the time I'll miss
Is time I spent with you...
