Rain water on Leaf
like pearly dew drops or tears
of deep grief-caught on the cheek
hanging a while, not dropping down
but slowly slipping by
who is alive ?who had to die?
time to go for some, time to cry-
this loss is temporary, final abode
is the same for all- destined to fall, like rain, dew drops, tears, all.

a sparkling Summer’s night

Truth is linked, Faith is strong,the day is long
It will not be long when the shadow will turn to
Light and the darkness will go,the heat will flow
to coolness,the night will have time more and slow-

Summer is welcome in half the world,while half
is cursing hating the bitterness of hail and snow
If it be desert go in the shadow of the mountain
it is dark cool and safe,the enemy will not know;

welcome cool drinks and lemonade,if its hot
remember the cold,if it is cold think of the heat
it is for a while the change appears,before we know
it is gone away same speed, we say fast,some say slow….

Yet when Summer is at its peak, it is the last streak
call it D-Day-6th or 21st it will not stay, soon,though
not before taking its toll of hundreds or thousands
deliberately sent to death or called by nature,
“Lets go’

Puzzled
Sphinx’s riddle
thirteen hearts, a deck of cards

tree shares love

Nature gave us honey bees ….
Nature gave us milky cheese
Nature gave us so much ease
Nature gave us enriched Trees,
We grow up with them
play in up around them
sit share under the shade
fruit eaten, cut to burn them
can we really imagine the pain
we cause trees for our gains ?
‘T is a loss, for see, here is, what is
taken away and what remains -?
A tree always shares love
stays in the ground –
shades all around
protects from above–

Eucalyptus Bark Flowers on Pine Bark Pond


Blue gum on holy tree
Blue gum leaves as herbal tea
Beauty Oil behind the bark.

Balm for the soul
Is there no balm in Egypt? Or is it
Carried to the market of Tyre?
Queen Sheba gifted it to King Solomon.
Exhibited in the streets of Rome by Pompey-
Tree graced the triumph of Vespasian-
A blend of balsam and oil is sacred,so
“who creates the oil of our land”-
Is it planted in the gardens of Jericho?
The journey traces back to Arab lands-
growing wild in the valley of Mecca
The holy plant is called Beshem.

java grounds
seek the beloved
in a coffee cup,sacred
gold and silver, home.

ghostly town silent
homes are homes when life abounds
survivor watches

the other side

this side mellow white
unseen indepths of mountains
blest deities,dead.
