We are, so we care

We are, so we care

This one time, care.

Expected often, marked by tumult

Our fate is our destiny, or contrary, to care.

Apocalypse? Phoenix? We know not

Oh! Kind Hearts, care.

Ignorance? ingenuity? State what you may

Our lives on this earth means to care.

Caring, for us, is to each on its own –

I am an animal and a human that care.

As a bird, fish, snake and monkey,

I fly, I swim, I crawl, I walk, and I care.

Existence is primary preference

Life, a gifted necessity; we miss not to care.

Let us be who we are

For, we are, so we care.

On Teachers’ Day

· 3 Comments ·

It was my teacher who told me

I can write.

It was my teacher who told me

Write from your heart.

It was a teacher who said,

“She will never make it”

It was my teacher who said,

“She is exactly where her heart is.”

Everyone is a teacher:

Something taught, anew often,

When in our life;

And grows apart physically.

Teaching remains,

Memorable.

Memorabilia,

In making me

The who; I am; you are

Lessons, not to be judged

“Good or bad” ever,

And I am grateful…

Going Solo

· Leave a comment · 
I see, 
sea around 
Calm to clouds
Water they share
Rains spoke not a word.
Trees fresh green watch 
Droplets through spread feathers, black
White dome, a standstill globe
I take control from atop
Rains spoke not word. 
Illusions of power and strength
I sense from where I sit tall and proud
That's the universe of acceptance
A little ruffle is simply harmless
I see!

A crow that I am
Free I feel as I fly and perch...
Only a few worried glances at times;
At times, my curiosity gets misrepresented
Irrational as it may sound,
Wonder aloud "why me"often;
Why judge me by tales of good and evil?
Only a few loving eyes glance,
No, they look at me, and I speak,
"Like you, I search my reality."
