Invisible Visitors

-


 Shadows in  soft, the quiet spirits move,

Unseen companions in the life I choose.

No footsteps fall, no knocking at my door -

They come, they stay, then vanish once more.


They walk beside me, they walk within,

Invisible threads beneath my skin.

Some arrive wearing laughter’s light,

Some bring sorrow that darkens my night.


Love comes softly, a gentle flame,

Calling my heart by its secret name.

Yet grief follows, slow and true,

Teaching me what only loss can do.


I call them fate, or luck, or chance,

Miracles caught in a passing glance.

Actors upon my timeless stage,

Changing masks from age to age.


My desires burn with restless fire,

Pulling my soul ever higher and higher.

I chase my dreams through endless skies,

Not seeing the truth before my eyes.


Joy and sorrow, woven tight,

Threads of shadow stitched with light.

They lift me high, then let me fall,

Reminding me I am small after all.


Life - a fragile, borrowed breath,

A silent dance with time and death.

When I hold too firmly, it slips away,

When I release - it cannot stay.


Time, the magician, bends and breaks

Every certainty my heart once makes.

What I call “mine” is only loaned,

A passing dawn I’ve briefly owned.


In daily moments - crowded streets,

Broken hopes, unfinished dreams -

These quiet visitors still remain,

Turning my joy and shaping my pain.


Sometimes I whisper, what a fate.

Sometimes, I survived - how great.

Sometimes I cry, sometimes I heal,

Learning what is truly real.


So I chase not every ghostly call,

Nor fear the shadows when they fall.

I turn inward, where a small light stays,

Unmoved by nights or passing days.


There is a place beneath my noise,

Beyond my victories, beyond my choice

Of winning, losing, rise or fall -

A stillness that embraces all.


I sit quietly; let longing sleep.

I listen where my spirit speaks.

For in that silence, calm and deep,

Lives the love I long to keep.


No triumph there, no final fight,

Only peace - steady and bright.

And when the quiet visitors depart,

Their footprints remain within my heart.

Grieving Grief

-
Image
  I walk through sorrow like quiet rain, softly passing through its terrain - not untouched, nor turned to stone, but carrying echoes of what I’ve known. My heart is numb; no tears will fall, a silent ache behind a wall. No sorrow spills, no pain confessed, just hollow quiet in my chest. When grief is locked and will not rise, it lingers dim behind my eyes. I suffer still, though none can see, and mourn the tears withheld from me. To long for weeping - bitter, strange - to grieve the grief that will not change. A heavier burden I must bear: the weight of absence everywhere. Yet under skin grown cold and thin, a muted pulse survives within - a fragile ember, faint but true, remembering what feeling knew. For numbness is not death of flame, only fire without a name. And even walls I’ve learned to raise may crack beneath these silent days. Then grief may come, both soft and slow, not as a wound but as a flow - a quiet rain on waiting ground, a gentle ache I almost found. I grieve for ...

Stillness

-
Image
  We walk this fragile road as one, Beneath the moon, beneath the sun. We rise with hope, we break, we mend, Begin again where stories end. Life -a fleeting, trembling flame, Never steady, never same. Time, the magician, shapes and bends, Turning strangers into friends. Sometimes we whisper, what a fate, Sometimes, how did we escape? Sometimes silence is our prayer, Learning peace is already there. So chase not every ghostly call, Nor fear the shadows as they fall. Turn inward, where the quiet light Burns beyond both dark and bright. Sit in stillness, let thoughts sleep, Where the soul listens deep. No victory there, no losing fight, Only peace - gentle and bright. And when the quiet visitors depart, They leave their echoes in the heart. For in that silence, calm and true, Lives the love that carries you.

Two Yeses

-
Image
  This love, it isn't just for me, It's where we both agree. Two little "yes" whispered low, Two hearts that choose to stay and grow. It's given back, a sweet return, A lesson learned, a fire that burns, But not just one light holding tight, Two flames together, burning bright. No points to keep, no game to play, Just kindness given, day by day. When you are there, I want to be, Your hand in mine, eternally. It doesn't need a grand display, It blossoms in the simple way. Quiet moments, work we share, Each ordinary day, we're there. We change and grow, it bends and sways, When one of us falls, it gently stays. Not 'cause we have to, but we long To build a future, safe and strong. Forever's not a shout up high, It's choosing you, as years go by. And when no one is watching near, To choose you still, year after year. While breath remains, and hearts still beat, To choose each other, oh so sweet.

Will Heaven Shelter Me?

-
Image
Are you selling dreams that fade so fast, Like morning mist not meant to last? I hold bright hopes, though worn and thin, And feel the dark still pulling in. I look for heaven, a gentle place, Where quiet joy leaves a tender trace, Drawn by whispers, a fragile plea- Will heaven ever shelter me? I am carried by winds, both rough and kind, Leaving heavy sorrows behind, Through laughter’s glow and sorrow’s sting, I wonder if hope will always sing. I search for light in shadows deep, Where lonely hearts lie awake, not asleep, Through loss and rain, a weary climb- I wait for dawn in its gentle time. My dreams drift softly, wild and free, Across the world like memory, Chasing shores though far they seem, A fragile, waking, hopeful dream. Hope hums softly, low and clear, When I feel tired and linger here, Guiding my heart, worn and frayed, Toward a brighter path remade.

When Small Wings Learn the World

-
Image
  Morning arrives with a quiet ache, and I rise before the light can bloom. My baby sleeps beneath my wings, safe for now from the restless wind. The world is wide, yet food is small - a single bean, a fragile grace. We live on little, we learn to wait, for hunger teaches patient faith. Poverty walks beside us softly, not always seen, but always known; a living breath that feels like death, to exist and still feel alone. Yet poverty is only the beginning, never the end of the story’s thread. Determination rewrites what fate once believed was already said. I search the earth with careful eyes, finding meaning in scattered seeds. Knowledge is wealth no storm can steal, wisdom the treasure the spirit needs. Understanding grows like morning light, slowly warming a fearful sky; ignorance is the deepest poverty - a darkness where true visions die. You will stumble when you first fly, fall from branches, fear the air. Failure strips away false pride, but clearer truth is waiting there. Th...

When the Summer Burns

-
Image
  No tears remain for me to weep; my eyes lie barren, cracked and dry. In shadows where no rain is born, even the skies forget to cry. A silent ache, a hollow song, the heart grows tired, cold and worn; hope feels distant, stretched too long, like fields that wait for seasons gone. The endless summer, harsh and vast, presses heavy on breath and bone; veins that once with life ran fast now shrink in silence, all alone. The wandering birds of my soul, once fearless, rising wild and free, bury their heads in dust and soil, lost to a restless memory. My mind burns hot with every thought, a pyre of sorrow, fierce and deep; battles fought where none are fought, a weary heart denied its sleep. No gentle wind, no warm embrace, only echoes from before- forgotten light, a fading trace, soft footsteps at a closing door. Yet somewhere in this suffocating night a fragile spark refuses doom; a whispered promise, small but bright, a seed awakening in gloom. For even when the world feels dry, when...

Inner Light

  Amid the world's loud chorus, A whisper gently calls- To be authentic, true, Beyond the fleeting walls.   No need for shining masks, Nor crowds to validate, A quiet fire burns bright, A soul that knows its fate.   In kindness, strength resides, In patience, power gleams- The treasure of oneself, Born from honest dreams.   Let others judge or praise, Their voices fade away- My worth is mine alone, A dawn that greets each day.   From deep within, I rise, With sunlight in my step, Authentic, free, and whole, My spirit's true precept.

Little Dove and the Tiny Beans

-
Image
Little dove, soft and gray, Wakes her baby with the day. Flap, flap, wings so small, Morning sunshine warms them all. Down below on earthy ground, Tiny beans are waiting, found. “One for you, and one for me,” Sharing makes a happy tree. Some days food is hard to find, Cloudy skies and gusty wind. “Don’t you worry,” Mama coos, “Little hearts can still choose joy.” Other birds may fly away, When the hungry come to stay. Mama says, “Be soft, be kind, Gentle hearts are strong inside.” “Listen, child,” she softly sings, “Learning is a gift with wings. Knowledge sparkles, bright and true, Wisdom helps you know what to do.” “Understanding helps us see How to be the best we can be. Not knowing is the darkest night, Learning fills the world with light.” Baby flutters - up, then down! Oops! A tumble to the ground. Mama smiles, “That’s how you grow, Every try helps courage show.” Soon small wings begin to glide, Dancing lightly side by side. High above the fields so wide, Baby dove beams full of ...

The Price of Us

-
Image
We built our cities out of hunger, stacked glass and steel above the thunder, called it progress, called it fate, while something ancient learned to wait. We sold the air, we burned the seas, cut down our prayers in the form of trees. We named it growth. We named it pride. The rivers choked, but we looked aside. Children learned to dodge the sound of hatred marching through their towns. Some went to bed with empty hands, while others gambled borrowed lands. We drew our borders sharp as knives, measured worth in other lives. Skin and language, faith and name - different masks for the same old shame. The animals ran with nowhere left, the silence heavy, the planet cleft. Extinction whispered through the dark, a fading song, a dying spark. And still we fought for crowns of dust, for power built on fear and lust. We knew the cost, we paid it twice - a future traded at a price. Listen closely - the Earth is tired. Not angry. Just quietly expired. Hope survives, but bruised and thin, waiting...
