Light

rainbow of colours 

dazzling light on angel's wings

spreading the good news

against the dark sky

bright rays of hope reaching out

inspiring spirits

energizing heart

until our light force flickers  

bright and strong with love

Passage

steady rushing sound

water twirls, marches to beat 

gateway to new lands

eagle wings soaring  

ragged mountains in slumber

gentle solitude 

ashes in the urn

scattered in river he loves

spirit soaring sky

Dreams

what dreams do you have

fair child of mine

your brown eyes twinkle   
rivalling stars glowing in your room  


your belly laughter peals
reading books on princesses, frogs and goats 


do you know that treasures 
are under your pillows every night


do you know that your hands
hold the magic key to unlock any doors


when you gaze up at the blue skies 
believe you can fly like a bird if you want to


when you dwell upon wide open seas 
imagine possibilities of being ship's captain 


chase every rainbow in your childhood,
run after turtles and hares in all the races 


every day is beautiful and precious, 
and sharing your gifts mean blessings tenfold   


i may not be the perfect mother all the time
but know this, i will always love and believe in you

Obsession

obsession with words 

letters, phrases, syllables 

to write perfect verse 

racing against time

catching thoughts in mid-air flight

to rest in our hands

sand trickling hourglass,

every second counts as time, 

won't wait nor tarry   

moments carved in glass,

wrapping the past with colours    

irreplaceable

Autumn in October

russet leaves peek

at old wooden barn

seams bursting with

harvest of corn and wheat,

summer's hay stacked high

long slender arms twirl

the cool winds whispering     

coppery meadow, until  

dust brown leaves sleep,

falling into arms of mother earth

amidst dark murky waters

bright ray of sunshine

Autumn

the tree greeted me

vibrant colours of autumn 

sunny homecoming


maple leaves on ground 
orange, yellow, red splashes
nature's lively dance

Impossible dreams

purple, red colors

brightening gray horizon;

garden on roof top

~0~0

i search stars above

unblinking in what can be;

possibilities

~0~0

i hold burning torch

steady in my hands; seeking

curtain of silence
