Default Changing weather

Dark and grey is now the sky
I am watching from the sofa where I lie.
Thunderstorms are approaching soon
how sad it looks outside so gloom.

The rain is starting to ponder
and I am starting to wonder.
First it was so hot
all my flowers are hanging their heads over the pot.

What is it that I see right now
from the side of my eye brow.
Strong winds and hail
the trees are swaying back and forth and look so frail.

Time for a hot cup of Jasmine green tea
Nobody else wants except for me.
I am now sitting all alone in the dark
listening to the neighbors dog bark.

The rain finally has stopped
my ears sadly start to pop.
I open windows for fresh air
and the cool wind is blowing my hair.

Once again I can see the moon
and I quietly start singing a tune.
Everything is so at peace
time to go to bed,lock the house and put away my keys.

The Plateau

I would remind myself that in the morning I have things to do
I would assert my self-affirmation
And it went something like becoming a better man,
to find more confidence, and harness your will-power or something like that
Three years later, you could still find these notes
And three years later, I am still here
In a different city, with different people and different faces
Days go by a little faster
And I'm shifting in a plateau
I'm afraid that if I get to the edge I will fall in the dunes
Where creatures crawl from underneath them
Like a scene from a David Lynch movie
I don't know what to say about myself
Maybe these creatures will make something better of me

Default Memories

My father was a Forest Ranger long time ago
he took care of our forest and his name was Papa Joe.
On weekends he took me with him in the forest deep
it was memories forever to keep.

Papa and I left always at dawn
but before I fed our little homeless fawn.
Walking through the woods quietly and steady
I was proud and ready.

I was only 4 years old tiny but strong
my heart felt it belong.
I had curly little brown hair
and my skin was pale and fair.

I always walked holding Papa's hand
oh nature splendor felt so grand.
Through the forest led a path
in little ponds ducks took a bath.

Tree logs were lying everywhere
some pulled down and used as a lair.
I loved to climb up and balance on them
some logs had thin stems.

The sun was rising between the tall trees high up in the sky
and bird of prey and other birds were flying high.
Woodpeckers pecking on trees high above
something cooing like a Morning Dove.

Nightingales singing their song
I knew here in the forest I did belong.
The sun rays were brightly shining
what perfectly timing.

Papa and I reached an open meadow
looking beside me I was able to see my shadow.
Oh what a beautiful sight
no fear no plight.

My little eyes could see grazing deer
I pulled Papa's jacket and he said ,,yes my dear''.
We had to be quiet in order to see all
from the distance a buck's call.

Papa guided me to a big tree
we climbed a tall ladder to better see.
Forest Rangers had built a little landing way up high
in order to look around and look up in the sky.

Now my keen eyes were able to see so many deer
young bucks,rabbits,foxes, none of them showed fear.
What a magical place to be
Just my Papa and me.

I was always sad to go
and many times I whispered no,no,no.
Coming back home I greeted our dog Harry
while Papa was talking to our neighbor Sherry.

I always will treasure these special moments of mine
so long ago in a very distant time.
To love and respect mother earth forever
became for me a major endeavor!

Default Ocean

I was sitting on a lonesome stretch of beach
overlooking the great far ocean out of my reach.
The sand felt too hot to touch
I was contemplating about so much.

The ocean waves were high
and seagulls were flying by.
The waves had white foamy tips
I tasted the salty water on my lips.

In the distance I saw a dolphin school
circling as if they were swimming in a pool.
I think I noticed a lonesome blue whale
pointing up his big fin tail.

I heard stories about the animals of the sea
that they are the protectors of you and me.
The sound of the ocean waves
telling mighty stories of long ago the braves.

Occasionally a sailboat passing by
and waving me from the distance a quick hi.
It was time to go back home
but could not resist to touch with my toes the ocean foam.

I walked along the beach and up over the rocks to look
about twenty minutes all it took.
One more quick look around the magic site
when I noticed kids fling a kite.

I rushed home like a little kid late
in my hand a fresh bait.
The wind blew through my long grey hair
I felt completely healed in this fresh air.

Default Lovers

Lovers
A young couple is walking on the beach holding hand
their bare feet touching the soft warm sand.
The ocean waves are rushing towards the beach
The two lovers were quiet no speech.

They sat on a big rock and watched the waves rolling in
from the distance they saw a dolphins fin.
She gently leaned over to him and rested her head
looking at her beautiful ring when they wed.

He stroked her hair so tenderly
and whispering in her ear so cleverly.
You could see the love between them
like a blessed golden gem.

The moon has risen way up high
it looked so beautiful up in the sky.
Romance was in the air
the young couple was thinking should they dare.

Instead they strolled more along the beach
until their cottage was in reach.
One more look up to the moon
a distant sound from a pair of loon.

Default Two lost souls

Two lost souls
Long time ago a young couple fell in love
when he met her she was holding a dove.
They grew up happily together
and overcame any bad weather.

When they married life was good
that's how they hoped it always would.
One day they received a gift of God times two.
How blessed they felt something new.

God intended otherwise for them
the little souls had a broken stem.
Now the young couple is searching where to go next
their sad thoughts are lost in text.

They do know the Universe is aligned
and sad comes with good combined.
Their love for each other never will die
and their two lost souls will never be able to cry.

Stars and moon above
and a special white dove
will guide them all the way
if God's will they may!

''Miranda Team''
In our family here we have a beautiful little girl
she is our darling little pearl.
Her parents feel so proud
there is no shadow of doubt.

Miranda darling had not an easy little life
so many battles to dive.
Hardships all the way
gave her parents lot of dismay.

But one thing is for sure
they now know her illness has a cure.
Miranda family of three has a lot of support here with glee.
God decided us to help and guide
through this difficult uphill plight.

We are a family unit of one
we will stand by you and fight with you the battle til it's done.
Always know our heart and souls and love for thee
as many stars in heaven there may be.

Dear Father in Heaven will watch over you
with all his mighty so true.
Angels are send down to Miranda dear
from heaven and earth beautiful cheer.

Lastly dear Sudcaro ,DH and Miranda may God bless you all
and may you three never ever again have to fall.
We are ''Miranda Team'' all the way
This is what I came here to say!

Default Sister

I always wished for a sister in my my life
someone I could share with and do high fife.
A sister to go to school with me
just happy to be.

I dreamed of us walking through the fields
along the southern shield.
Picking flowers in the meadows all over
and calling our dogs Xarri,Ruger and Rover.

Best friends we would be
on our faces a beautiful glee.
My sister giving me
a cup of fresh pine needle tea.

A sister coming to my wedding
we would be tight as a netting.
She would have been the aunt of my children times four
playing with them so many times on the floor.

I am so lucky I have found a friend ,a sister in my heart
she will be forever now in my life a big part.
As old as I am now
I humbly bow.

For I have found a true treasure
in words barely to measure.
A sister is the greatest thing on earth
and a forever keepsake worth!
