My dream is like a journey
to the moon
where i can enjoy the timelessness
of my being
...
A thousand times i have made this voyage
from shore to shore
now my age has begun to fail
and cannot continue the journey anymore
...
Before sunrise while the dewdrops appear
on the leaf
and the cock crows
to bring a sigh of relief
...
'standing on the shoulders of giants'
Though we are a small group of islands
we are standing on the shoulders of giants
between the Statue of liberty and the stature
...
Every time i create a poem and have it
publish on a new site
it raises a deep spark of spirituality
to know I am walking in the light
