MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Silence’

delight in silence
no added noise
only nature’s buzz

soothing tunes
restoring the nerves
healing the mind

loving bird song
calling their mate
paired for life

the frogs croak
at the dam
the sound of rain

like a shower
the soul soap
cleansing internally

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Little Voice’

deeper truth
hard to surface
bubbling away
boiled over

nervous tic
holds the tongue
transmitter of sound
paralyzed

quietly comes
in the middle
of the night
revelation

story untold
missing pieces
undisclosed
in secrets

raised voice
inside the mind
screams
silently

mouth unmoved
head in inferno
burning down
old bridges

now it is time
to say out loud
words unspoken
indefinitely

beep beep

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Many Teachers’

The rock taught me to be strong
The eagle taught me to fly high
The train taught me to carry my baggage

The fish taught me to be silent
The river taught me to be in the flow
The ocean taught me to respect

The sun taught me to be warm
The stars taught me to shine
The cuckoo made me mad

Every teacher isn’t a human
Every one of them makes a difference
Open your mind and observe

In awe

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Sudden Shift’

It may be healing
For whatever feeling
To go to the forest
Breathe air at its best


Cookies and tea
Fell inside me
Turn a new leaf
No more beef


Walk or ride
Move with pride
No smelly fumes
Silence no booms


Crack of a dawn
My daily yawn
Instead of papers
Fresh flower vapors


Coffee forgotten brew
Kombucha with a dew
Clap my hands to chant
My diet now fully plant


Om and hum feel the beat
Lift your bum bare both feet
Rite of passage in middle age
Breaking the bond fleeing the cage


Touch of breeze on my face
Being gifted divine grace
Sudden shift from foggy mind
Walking gently and being kind


Now stop and breathe
