I visited you, Amsterdam,
Many moons ago
And I still remember
Your outstanding
...
Our hearts have strings like guitars
Once passionately tuned
With melodious notes
Beautiful harmonies
...
The sun is up
The streets are deserted
It is so quiet outside
We see from our windows
...
I am sitting calmly
Straight up on my heels
By the rainbow colored sand dunes
Created by the Martian gusty winds
...
What is the ultimate life
All about?
It is about being holy
It is about being healthy
...
It was a magical night
The sky was lit
By the glory of Luna
The full moon
...
At the valley
Of butterflies
In Rhodes, Greece
I encountered
...
Our humble tribute to you
The illuminated woman
Of Word War II
Oh! The courageous Miss Noor Inayat Khan
...
In Mississauga, where nature's beauty thrives
Where trees and rivers flow in perfect tune
With friendly faces in their daily lives
A lively vibe beneath the sun and moon
...
Welcome to spring!
Season of love and liveliness
Occasion of novel beginnings
And opportunities
...
The rain splashes and thunder
Watching through the window, I wonder
Is this Mother Nature's whirling dance?
Or just a heavenly romance
...
Tiny shiny white
Crystals tumble from the sky
Icy diamonds from heaven
Swirl around the trees

It Is Time To Slow Down
It is time
To slow down
Stay mindful
Watch the birds
In the meadows
Admire the flowers
In the garden
Chat with friends
In the neighborhood
Have a cup
Of hot tea
Read an amazing book
Play some relaxing music
Sing your favorite song
Go for a walk
With your loved one
Say how much you treasure
Her or him
In your life
Cherish this present moment
There is more to life
Than making it go faster
