What am I?
never mind
I've no name

you do not see my face
a nobody of the human race

yet I breathe and move
invisible in every place

I have life
am never static
though to no abode
do I stick


I drift and I wander
in infinite space


I am change
constant flux
transformation
a crossover from yesterday
a moment in time's spectrum
a bridge to future's way

whether night or day
in silence you can feel me
in the smile of the child
the warmth of the mother
holding her tiny one
the  kind stretching hand
reaching out to the destitute
the lonely, the desolate
the marginalised
the forgotten women and men

the stars and the moon
they keep me company

like all of you
sadness moves me
to tears-
mankind lives
in melancholy

at the deepest hour of night
when gentle breezes distil the air
you would find my whisper there
* after Walt Whitman and Emerson
Oh, how the bells ring

And the birds sing

I love how nature rings!



The sun shines with life

But don’t put it in your sight

The sun is too bright


The little foxes play

In the bright day

Laying in the sun’s ray


Two doves

Fly above

So deeply in love



In the nest the bird cares

But she may dare

To look at the sun’s bright glare



The tigers run

Under the sun

With prey they had none



In the day I sing

With a joyful ring

Saying, “What will life bring?”
Nature is beautiful.

In those times of old

I was told

There was a tale of gold



People say

Once a day

You could see Heaven’s ray



In the rain

Dirt and grain

They fought from Heaven’s rein





People bold

Looking for gold

Went to the time of old



All who died

Wept and cried

And in the end, sighed


There was gold

I was told

In those times of old.

Romantics find her flawless
and the mystics find her wise.
The ancients found "The Huntress"
in her sharp and searching eyes.
Italians say "bela luna"
when they look at her and sigh.
The cavemen painted pictures
as they wondered at the sky.
The moon has many faces
and her light's a work of art...
And to the simple poet...
she is tonic for the heart.
