In the bitter chill, in the sing-song Wind,
The undaunted mind blossoms
To stay a’tune to nature’s call
He quivers his poetic strings
And bids the light to bring forth
Its emancipated Spring.

If you want to be a wildflower
Guard over your life,
Let your dreams’ pastures grow
In the nourishment of sunny days.
Ward off vultures and aggressive scavengers.
But let a little rain drizzle through
The days of your life if you want
To be a wildflower and grow
Wherever the wind’s planted you.
Carry yourself
If you can carry yourself
With the weight of your entire soul
Upon your shoulders,
You can wade through
Even the deepest river
Crossing your path;
Dry-shoed and warm
Without sacrificing a single layer
To the river wild.
Brighter than an Angel’s Wing
I have seen something
with a brighter glow
Than an angel’s wing
In the face of a human
Rising hopefully
After a fall.
Happiness is freedom
There is no happiness
As complete,
And as modest,
As knowing that you are free
To follow any path you want,
Even the one you are too scared
To even dream of.
I see You
I see you
Blue as the spring
On mountain lakes.
I see you
Soft as the nights
Swaying on the moors.
In homecoming birds
I see you
Gathering your wings
After your arduous
Flight.
I Reach for Branches and Leaves
When my courage fails me
I reach for branches and leaves
Swaying in currents
And look for birds
Bobbing on waves
And I am reminded that life
Is so much more than I am
In that moment.
