Transition into 2016

Like a river reaching it's cross road,
leaving behind all dreams not fully filled,
I will keep on trying to follow them
by crossing countries,mountains and oceans,
I won't be caught in the sandstorms of this world,
but swim I shall until a shore I will find,
the sand will be my bed, the sun my blanket,
the stars my friends but mainly I will wish well
to all who can stand with me for a little longer
to reach the transition into hopefully a great and peaceful
2016...". 

It's coming down

Oh what a beauty there is outside.
It's all white just to despite old and
young for having missed us this
past week.
Now with a vengeance it's coming down,
but people are laughing, they are
inside enjoying a great bon fire.
Let it come, let it come, I won't mind
I have no desire other than see the
young ones fooling around.
Something is crackling, but I don't
know what... is it the log in the fireplace
or my bones that protest the big change.
Let it come down, I will just make some
hot coffee and warm ginger bread for
company. Oh I wished for a change but
never expected mother nature would take
my world and it was not even a prayer...
but it's coming down slowly, furiously,
it stops and than starts all over again.
So now I close this box in front of me,
and slowly dressing up like frosty going
out and see what's like it to embrace the
white and cool snow coming down on me...

Smart Nature

Nature the teacher of  excellence
of all subjects.
She will fool you in believing that
you can play around with
without having a price tag.
Nature is smart and subtle, it
create life to feed our whims and
pleasures.
Most of the times nature speaks
to us in her mysterious language
but we pretend deafness and
more intelligent and neglect to react.
Nature is pureless only if man knows
how to ignore it's cries for help or
tears of panic.  It's telling us not to
invade her space in so many ways.
Leave it be, nature knows what it is
doing but us the human fool, we master
abuse and laugh about it.
Nature one day will say: "Enough is
enough, you either listen to my advice
or I will use force to make you listen".
Will it be too late or are we so fools
that we wish our own destruction???

Turmoil

When on you feel sad and lonely,
never look in a mirror.
Never shut yourself in, but go out,
go out and see the world.
You will see that your sadness is not
as dark as you believe.  In the sky
there's always a light that shines for all of us.

I just wish I had a friend to keep me company,
one who would keep silence until I speak.
One that would walk at my pace and offer me
a hand should I find a pebble sticking to my shoe,
or a soft and gentle hand who offers me a handkerchief
to wipe that salty taste that would eventually reach
my lips chapped by the cold or the heat...
That's what I would need to keep on living one
day at the time.

Mistress

"The sea, like a mistress or a secret lover,
gets hold of you so softly, gently that eventually
you fall in love with it's moods and charms.
Don't try to runaway from it, you can even
curse it, adore it, for sure you will be fed  of
her goods or be your last resting sight during
one of her furious anger.
All try, but no one can conquer her fully,
she's like the mistress that keeps showing you
the most beautiful beauties until you
stupidly betray her, then it becomes
merciless and with just cause.
Oh how I wish it was my backyard view
at the opening of my eyes, never making
her a solid promise, but respectfully I would
be honest, I would show her charm and
beauty that fills me just at her sight..."
That's my love for the sea.

Ray of light

There's no eternal darkness in one's heart,
a ray of light will pass through the darkness.
Darkness is for incredulous humans who
loose the innocence they were born with.
Light is for the eyes the child believing
the world is his.
Look up and wish for your innocence
to be given back to you the looker of that
ray of light and hope.....

Feelings and emotions

Feelings are strange emotions that live within us.
Feelings maybe sad or joyous, controlling
our daily life. 
Don't hide your feelings, don't lock them away
and throw out the key.
they will resurface when you least expect it.
Live your feelings, show your emotions to
the world, you will see that you are not
the only one on this planet with those
feelings and emotions.
WE ARE ALL humans, let's not forget it.

A flower's prayer

The prayer of a flower to the world.

"Pitch dark is the world for sure,
but a ray of light is a gift to enjoy
nature sparkles.
Don't envy my darkness but be happy
that my senses distinguishes
what's around me nightly or
in full daylight..."

Magic dragon adventure

If I could have one and only one
wish, it would be a magic dragon
to follow around the world.

 

Nothing would be smooth, for sure encounters

would try to stop our voyage.

But perseverance and courage,

hope and faith Me and my friend the dragon

will ride through clouds and sunny days,

won't need shelter from the rain,

following the bright stars along with the rainbows,

we will be FRIENDS for ever or until we reach our

destiny.

Where is the snow?

My beautiful country with no snow.
I miss that fine cold powder,
sure at time it was bitter to be pelted by
it.  But other times in the late hours of the
day, one could just stroll and feel the
beauty caressing your face. A gentle flake
would pose itself on my eyelashes or
sticking out my tongue I could feel that
feathered tingle of flake just caress it.
What have we done that the snow does not
fall on my house, my city, my country,
pretty soon it will stop all together and
future generations will not have the privilege
of knowing what is a flake of snow..... 

Red

Never whore anything red in my life,
but always admired people who could
and did.
Never received a red flower
but then could never manage to photograph
one that gave me the perfect shade of red.
So to help this phobia of mine,
I'm going to buy a RED flower,
try to conquer my fears of RED,
pass it on to someone who like me
never managed RED properly.

PS: I'm glad to see people who can still come
and read the few feelings that I still have
these days, believe me it's a hard life but
still worth living it.
