Chilean Miners

Mother earth
became pregnant,
Goddess and God were
Captivated
By
Her thirty three child
Delivery.

Egypt moment

Dedicated to the peaceful revolt
Of the people of Egypt
Jan.25,2011

When peoples want to live
In dignity
Chains must break,
Fate must obey,

And

God must bow.

Jelly Fish

Jellyfish

Graceful in their dance,
As they whirl oceans,

Happy to frolic in their
Kaleidoscopic tentacles,

Quiet menace
Poisonous alien mutants,
Sucker punch

Yet,

Blooming like lotus.

Coming Home

I - water of the sea,
I - vapor, I rise,
I - clouds above the mountains,
I experience, I learn,
I joyfully weep,
I return home.
*
I - body of the soul,
I live, I love,
I experience, I learn,
I - vapor, I rise
I joyfully
Return home.

Together

Together
We play music,
No need for instruments,

Together,
We dance to
The beatless beat,

Together,
We sing
The wordless song,

When both become whole,
When one plus one is one – not two,

For the joy of living;

This is our dance,
This is our music,
This is our song

Resistance

Resistance

Identity lost,
Dignity ripped,
Land occupied,

Resistance inevitable,

History witnessed;

The tribe of Mahatma,
The nation of Martin,
The country of Nelson

Prevailed,

Sabers never rattled,
Bullets never fired,
Blood never shed

Music

Keys of black and white,
Through which the soul cheers,

Melodic tunes permits no wrong
Traveling through the Either,
Awaking the sleeper,

Harmonious sounds shimmering the hearts,
Kindling the spirit like
The image of the stars,

Composers of
Master-keys -
Unlocking the golden melody
Of the deep self,

While life never goes on
In the absence of the sun.

Our Night

When our lips melt
Through the conversation

Our night,
When our sails are
Followed by the shining stars

Our night,
When our challis
Is full of romance

Our night,
When the ragged mountain
Becomes a green meadow

Our night,
When our souls
Unite

Our night,

Norway Massacre

A dimly lit beam hovered,
Confounded to why
It lost its glow,

Imagination gone wrong,
Looking for an answer
To the very soul of its existence,

Witnessing a scarlet flow of innocence,
Once longed for placidity
And now is no more,

What has fate planned?
Cruelty? suffering?

Oh,

Peacefulness shattered,
Tears keep flowing,
Drowning the answer,

Mont Taba

A time we spent
Near your lower hills,

Your stones greeted us
And spoke to us of love,

Out of your rocks
We built a temple
To guard our union -
A child-like encounter
We never outgrew,

We played the game of innocence
On your chilled top,
Our embraced souls
Shrouded by your snowflakes,
Never shivered, never quivered,
Never wanted to part,

A game we thought we would
