The world moves at lightning speed
To only accomplish one single deed
When it’s time to go what will you say
When asked, What did you do this day?
Before it’s too late, take a deep breath
Hold it in, then let it out to stave off death
Could you feel your time standing still
Just for a moment, hear the cry of your will
That is because you chose to breathe in
And fill your spirit with the love within
Now let it out slowly, not too fast
And make the feeling last and last.
I am publishing my FIRST BOOK. The title is “The Wisdom of Words: A poetic collection”
It should be ready by Monday. It’s going through it’s final review now.
I dedicated this to everyone who supported my work and encouraged me to publish.

Click and Poke
Why does this seem
Like such a Joke
Day in and day out
we like and poke
This lovely lady
and this handsome bloke
The world has become
Virtual to us
hanging in our faces
like an oncoming bus
Social media
is for all to see
so what you post
is not hidden from me
Or is it hidden
Who can say?
Social media
is funny that way.
I am the winter
my cold flame is small
but my heart grows warmer
as the days go by
Cold and alone
I feel so small
but as time goes on
my art will be seen
I am the spring
The buds of creation
bloom around me
I begin to grow
The leaves pop out
as day and night
dance in a tango,
never to end
I am the summer
my art is in full bloom
shown to the world
my colors of life
The existence of pleasure
fills my hallowed halls
as I begin to create
even more inspiring creations
I am the fall
as nature winds down
the world slows and cools
ready to sleep once more
Cover me
Oh, Earth Mother
for I am chilled
and need your blanket
As the cycle ends
and begins anew
I am reminded of
the Seasons of Creation
Stay strong
be brave
even though
the night is long
Dream of days
without pain
without strife
in many ways
You are brave
in so many way
stay your course
though the days be long
I guide you
from heart to home
within the guide
while it’s true
I am far
but never gone
within each other
you can call
You are surrounded
by love so pure
friends and family
in this world
you won’t leave
I know that’s true
but please be brave
because I’ve got you
To realize your place in this vast world of ours.
—————————————————————–
I stand in a sea of people
hoping to be heard above the crowd
sadly knowing I am drown out
by the collective voices of you
I shout so loud
it hurts my lungs
but when its time
I will be heard
I wait for my turn
in the line of life
to get a chance
to plead my case
what happens next
is of no surprise
I’m turned away
my quiet shout
So i stand in silence
wondering what to do
now that you have quieted
the very heart of me
I cannot scream
i cannot yell
yet something must happen
to break this spell
of hate and malice
destined for dread
that runs in my soul
and pounds in my head
do not silence my shout
for you know not where i’ve been
i have rights
you will see
Fight hard
win your war
but shout to the world
no more
for winning is losing
in all sense of meaning
and in that regard
you lose your being
So wait your turn
and keep your shout
silent in nature
we will hear you out.
You take interest in what I say
in your own special way
My thoughts are yours, if even slight
For you understand my plight
Your friendship blankets me
And your heart is grand
For you have helped me
to understand
my own self
This chapter may end
but the book never will
I keep my thoughts of the future
very still
Natural is the way of life
to give unto the world of strife
a hope and dream like no other
that comforts us like a mother
Know i feel more than i say
but it is better if you hear it this way
I won’t stop
I can’t stop
but I will wait
at the top
for you to come
and be with me
