Break from the unknown
Unknown, unwanted, insecure and cruel The maladies of life they shrink and then grow again A glimpse of yesterday is still imprinted on today Making insignificant the future you chase While some unknown wise is calling the timid a fool The mean and unkind are lending hand to the insane While the world you knew is holding you from being astray The flying time makes … Continue reading Break from the unknown

Voices of Nature
The voices of nature we seldom hear The murmur of trees we never care The cool breeze that brings the fragrance And the scenery that puts us in a trance The flowing river that captures the sky’s glaze The dancing daffodils that we often embrace The cow and calf in the green does graze The mountains so huge make us amaze The little birds that … Continue reading Voices of Nature
My Voice and Me Reborn again
Where did my Voices go this long? In the depth of an ocean where they can never be heard And then one day the angel of music Crossed that path of land and water And the voices were heard once more again But I often think how I survived this long? Without a weapon against those noises I heard Luxury was mine at the expense … Continue reading My Voice and Me Reborn again
