PROTECTED

I am protected by the dark and the light 

The creatures of the night

And the old gods

On other realms

In different dimensions 

Where they still dwell!

HIJACKED AT SEA

Does hope really float?

Or did it get hijacked and lost at sea?

Swallows in the abyss

With the lonely sailors

Wondering around

And trying to find the shore

Hanging on a shivering door

Then just floating in the ocean

Loss of emotions

Hijacked at sea

What is next for me



EARTH DAY POEM, 2024

Sitting on the Earth's floor

Trying to connect to Mother Earth 

Barefoot in the dirt

As she supports every step that I make

Every breath that I take 

I love when the sun shines down on me 

I feel its warm embrace

It reminds me that the Earth is really a loving place



THE GHOST BY THE TREE

Down by the tree

There stands a ghost

He helped me bury what hurt me the most

Everything that I couldn't say

Deep into the earth is where I buried it away

Hiding in the dirt

That is where I'm hiding my hurt

Whenever I am in need

The ghost appear

He says he is a knight from Avalon

He was a knight and a soldier

That lived many times before he crossed over

Now he is teaching me to forget the past

To break free from my chains

And to be free at last



THE 3 WISE MEN

The holy trinity 

Is a sign of great divinity

The three wise men bearing gifts

To awaken the senses 

Holding a healing ceremony 

The star in the east is shining bright

It's the guiding light that leads you here tonight
