When I
go by
the cove,
I can
see your
face on
its brow
When I
look up
at the
blue sky,
find you
wishing
me ciao
When I
roam in
the woods,
I hear
bird songs
calling
thy name
How can
it be?
It’s your
portrait
mounted
in my
heart’s frame
Wherever you go,
Wherever you wander,
Wherever your heart leads you,
May you always find Peace and Love.
Wherever You are living God
I want to live with You
Whenever You call to me
I'll come running straight to You
Wherever You are preaching
I'm receiving Your great love
Because You are my Savior
All day long I want to be Your child
Like baby Jesus in the manger
He slept there meek and so mild
Guide me along life's path
Never may I feel God's wrath
Carry me over the threshold of home
into the future of life together.
Oh, Let me no more in loneliness roam
through wearisome roads and stormy weather.
For the road remains weary, rain still falls.
These burdens we've carried did not lighten;
but side by side we can handle it all,
and the thunderous storms do not frighten.
Please do not think this is a one way street.
That you must always be the one that's strong.
Not all days, but in the middle we meet,
fifty- fifty averaged our life long.
Take me in your arms, through the door, please do,
Then let's go back, and I will carry you!
I’m angry that you’re gone, and
I’m angry that I don’t know where you are;
although you were definitely made of stardust,
or whatever glistens on the moon.
Regretful, confused, perhaps because I don’t know
if I’ll ever see you again
and the indefinite promise that you’re gone
is quite honestly terrifying,
mesmerizing, I get lost in the thought
of you being anywhere, somewhere.
I’m angry with the promise of a “better place” -
that you were always sure of -
but that I cannot fathom.
What better of a place,
than here with me,
instead of in the uncertainty
that follows me around like a lonely ghost.
I hope that it’s you that follows me, but then again, I don’t
because I’d rather feel you in the summer rays,
in the wispy wind
in the watercolor sunset, feathered with clouds
in your favorite songs while I fly down the freeway
with tears slipping down my cheeks
as quickly as you slipped away.
I’d rather feel you in my heart,
in my bones,
and in each beautiful part of life,
because I know that’s where you’d want to be.
I gaze into the sky
Admiring the stars
And I cant help but wonder
If they are this beautiful from
Wherever you are
I sit in the quiet
Not hearing a sound
And I can't help but wonder
If the silence is as loud
Wherever you are
I toss and I turn
All throughout the night
And I cant help but wonder
If you're sleeping just fine
Wherever you are
I think of your smile
I long for your touch
And I cant help but wonder
If you miss me just as much
Wherever you are
"Near, far, or wherever you are"
I'll be there as time sweeps away
Each true heartbeat tender moment
Just you will know that I'll be there.
Our past echoes and slowly fade
Near, far, or wherever you are
Emerging day, crisp nature shades
"Far across distance and spaces"
I hear your footsteps next to mine
My mind wonders to look for you
Near, far, or wherever you are
"I believe the heart does go on"
"And my heart will go on and on"
As clouds line a lucid calm sky
Across I'll trace a note of love
Near, far, or wherever you are

Life unberable is created..
Proffered Then death by needle
Great effort Enjoined to sanitize
Waste of human rescources
Before our western walls !
hello everyone
I just can't stop thinking of our beloved Victor
he remains one of the first members I met here on soup
although it was always and only here through poetry
his friendship and generosity is forever true
Victor if you can see and hear this we pray for you
thank you
"wherever you are"
wherever you are may light shine upon you
fighting hard and long you pass each hurtle
now may the grace of peace be eternally yours
you made your footprint tossed into the world
telling stories writing poems that touch us all
you have fought since our paths first crossed
defying odds of every kind along with belief
we join and reflect for wholeness once again
endure for your voice to be heard once more
may light shine upon you wherever you are

Book:How to enjoy your life and job. Author:Dale Carnegie. Do well for others, you will be welcomed wherever in the worldwide
of mercy an agent
wherever God will have went
to save souls He meant
golfer world renown
should see their face when it frowned
ball in lake had drowned
his ball went astray
wind had blown his ball away
so at home should stay
flight beyond range
I discover the sun that wanders in tune,
splashing life.
I hear the morning singing merrily
And perceive the fantasy night dancing.
With everything compiled, I wrote poetry... !
Wherever in this life you are-
I hope you feel happiness fluttering in your scars.
Whenever you feel incredible wrath.
I hope you can see treatment’s path.
Outside your cage there exists a flame.
That your tides of trauma will help tame.
And in this place that is seething with crime.
That seemed so memorable at the time.
Will fade like your willingness to be defeated.
Because in this world- your tender influence is needed!
During an early morning walk in silence
you hear the wind as it whispers to the trees…
You hear the synchronized rhythm of the crickets…
their percussion floating on the breeze.
In the darkness as you walk…
you watch the leaves and branches sway…
you hear the birds about to retire share a song
with the birds about to begin their day
The nightingale and the owl…
the mockingbird and the chickadee…
blend together…as if rehearsed…
a morning melody.
You marvel when the flowers hear this singing
how they wipe the dew from out their eyes
how they search the darkness for the sun
then smile and stretch up to the sky.
And suddenly there in the darkness
your mood begins to swing…
because if you listen closely
you can hear the flowers sing…
Then as the darkness is receding…
and the morning begins advancing…
you wonder if it’s just the morning breeze…
or are the flowers also dancing.
And you feel blessed for having witnessed
an encounter so supreme…
The moment the the flowers have awakened
from wherever flowers dream.
the line blurred
between real and surreal
under moonlight
the warm breeze
both kiss and caress
stirring stars
