WHY PEN POEMS?
Poetry from life distils
as rain slowly coconuts fills.
Poetry sends in light
through the chinks in dark of night.
Poetry does ever heal.
knowing how others feel.
Poetry changes minds
beyond the reach of space and time.
Poetry lifts one from grief...
with an igniting haiku brief.
Poetry changes sense of duty
teaching through the glimpse of beauty.
Poet dolphins lift each other..
Cheering scribes, sisters, brothers..
a worldwide network of caring..
opening each other by our sharing.
Poetry is Love made words
penning what our Spirits heard.
MERYL STREEP
Her acting is so real
others resonate
to the echoes of the pain
or joy she recreates..
(to Meryl Streep)
MAYDAY
Never can May
by June be dismayed
nor diverted by
glance of a
passing young
maid
for in God's likeness
he forever is made
to J May worker for the poor and for peace and all who have gathered on May Day or worked for its causes through the decades
MATERIALIZING MONEY
How to materialize money?
How to be an alchemist?
planting fruit trees..
making apples out of mist.
How does he make a living?
since away so much he is giving?
Angels fill his vacuum
as the ocean flows into a cave
