SAVE THE CREATURES

O . . . life . . . O . . . life, the cheeks of the unknowns are wet and saturated with tears.
Voices are heard from everywhere, miles and miles away.
O . . . life, hope is gone, O . . . hope is gone, O . . . hope is gone.
Here we are, here we are, and here we are.
Thousands of hands are raised high wanting to touch the sky.
O . . . life . . . O . . . life . . . eyes are wide open, full of trepidation and grief;
gawking at the magnificent sky.
Lips are weak and can no longer reckon the countless stars.
The moon shines and brings joy and happiness to the heart.
The calm wind uplifts the spirit and the sound of a stream comforts the soul.

 

DOWN THE ROAD

It is historic and superb
It can be seen, felt, too vigorous and inevitable.
The stride continues, and many witnessed.
It’s a walk; it’s a walk, a walk on the rocky road.
Down the road, some had fallen by the wayside.
It is excruciating and words are unspoken
A long, long way to go
Down the road, it is dangerous
Down the road, it brings changes
Down the road, justice is done
Down the road, it restores tranquility
The journey brings courage and dignity
The body and soul are at ease

 

THE BEAUTY OF SUNRISE

The sun is huge and low early morning
She sees the shaft of light through her window
Her eyes were blurred
The reflection brings many, many thoughts to mind
Maybe it’s a blessed day!

It’s time to rise up and claim it
She senses it-yes!
She hears the exquisite sounds of living creatures impressively.
The window is open
She sees the bees buzzing overhead
She inhales the drifting flowers
What a great feeling, Hmmmmmmm……..

The goats won’t stop romping!
Can you glimpse what she sees?
It’s real! It’s fantastic!
It’s really a new day!
That’s the splendor of sunrise.

    The poems are beautifully expressed and all three had a sense of imagination that one can sit back and visualized. The words are flowing with each other which made me want to read more interested.

    In a world that is changing the beautiful scenes of nature seem to loose their value. Your words remind me of how we have lost the appetite to preserve nature and we value more the invention of computers and artificial intelligence. Your poems are enlightening the hidden truth of the simple things of nature which only God is proud of. Your creative art with words triggers my imagination, just looking outside the window your poems connect me with reality. It is said “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” but it’s clear that the sun amazes us all. Let your gift continuously remind us the priceless things in life.
