Scatter sunshine
Not dirty dust
Scatter sunshine
And give light

A Magic

Magic
a liquid drop
mixed with love
formed
into brain
hearts
flesh
bones
skeletons.Head
Limbs
Feet
Nails
How
can
I not be amazed
With such
magic

Joy Is In Your Heart

Joy is in your heart
Not in the hand of another
Joy is in your heart
Not in the decision of others
Joy is in your heart
Not in the money
Or in any possessions.
Joy is in your heart.
Not in any events or circumstances.
Joy is in your heart
It is not somewhere else.

Snake Skin

I shed my past hurts away
Like a snake
Shedding its old skin
To relish the new shiny skin

I sloughed off some double-tongued associates
Those with slithering words of abuse
which slips in tongue without constraints
their venom more deadly than that of a poisonous snake

Lend Me Silence

Lend me silence
The noise is drowning me
Making my heart unheard
Making my spirit inaudible
Silence is peace
Silence is joy

Give me silence
Give me peace
Noise is polluting
I long to hear
My breath
And whisper

Lend me silence
Lend me peace
My soul is yearning
For solace

Travelling Life With Love

Some roads are smooth
Some parts are rough
Bumps and holes
Are parts of the road called life

Some scenes are lush green
Some are of barren sands
Scenes good or bad
Together we will travel.

When storm is raging
And frightful bolts strike
In thunder and rain
We will travel together.

Happiness in a Vice

Happiness in a bottle of beer
Goes away
When the alcohol in the bloodstream
loses its efficacy

Happiness in a cigarette
is like the cigarette stick
little by little it's eaten
when fire is being lit

Happiness with a woman of the street
Is like your money you paid to her
It disappears in your hand as well.

Keep on Shining

Wolves howl on a shining moon,
so same with some wolfish people;
they bark
when they see you shining.

stay calm
keep on shining
be serene
enjoy the light
gleaming from your innermost personality

When someone throws ugly words
Don’t react
be patient and don’t be upset
Overlook the woofs and howls
just keep on shining.

If Only I Were a Bird

If only I were a bird,
my days would be forever happy
Chirp from tree to tree
And live worry-free.

If only I were a bird,
I would fly from
Cyprus to Chile
and have a tour on earth.

If only I were a bird,
I would dropp fruit seeds
Hoping a fruit tree will grow
For other birds to take shade.

If only I were a bird
I won't be
worrying about work
Bills, car, or clothes

I Am God's Work Of Art

I am God's work of art
He crafted
My inmost being
And my heart

I am God's work of art
Sins may soil me
Events may try to abrade me
But God continues to work on me

I am God's work of art
More precious than the work
Of any artist
More intricate than any sculpted piece

I am God's work of art
My nerves and blood
My emotion, and imagination
Only God can create such masterpiece.
