I Am Just A Poet I dream of being a river, fast and clear With drops of rock, sand to emerge! I dream of being crystal clear Thirsty throats with sweetness to water. I dream of being a vast sky Divine blueness to sift, Or little bird in flight to fly With a chirping song to make the world happy. I dream my life next Like a butterfly in a starry flight, I carry a message like a dove I am asking for peace and harmony in the world. And I'm just a humble poet In a suit of word and rhyme tailored, I speak, I sing about a dream life A bequest of letters forged with love: "For Mother Earth, write and create, For God's love open the gates, Speak loudly for freedom in the world, Give a heart to human rights, Tirelessly sing from morning till dawn"! Through The Eyes Of The Flower I see the world Through the eyes of the flower Rainbow colored world With floral scents watered. I breathe in a blue sky I tremble in a gentle breeze, With green leaves I greet, With a flower crown I bow. Honey and pollen powder, I give To every friend - a ray of sunshine, I spread joy and beauty Intoxicating with a flourishing beauty. Oh, how beautiful this world is Everywhere just flower after flower And each of them brings love Sorrow is washed away by a drizzling rain. Forgiveness I forgive unsung songs, countless tales untold. I forgive swallowed words, I forgive contempt unspeakable, I forgive reproach unbecoming and deeds, non-deeds consciously done. It is God's greatness to forgive To set the soul free, An insult to remember, Goodness for evil to treat! To approach God humbly, And to identify with him, To take communion with a soul pure, God's glory to celebrate and receive the mercy of him. Once again, clean as a newborn To approach life, To enjoy each new day. Noble deeds to pour out, God's blessings to collect.
