How do poems grow? They grow out of your life - Robert Penn Warren

Hopethrough almost translucent space
a forest of naked quaking aspen trees
stands still and straight in the snow
and the silence screams sorrow
until a blinding bright light appears
making tears show and fall with the strain
as it presses nearer to enter the soul
entering within to quench the lonely flames
which smoldered inside
reviving the spirit once more

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem - David Carradine

ShadowsWhen I come back home at night I am trying not to let shadows in.
But shadows are fast and agile - when I  am flegmatic and melancholic.
I am never sure if it's safe, therefore I am always afraid.
Once shadows, disguised people, killed my friend.

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks - Plutarch

World ForgottenFluttering wings
Dancing feet
Star filled skies
Moonlight lullabies
Crashing waves on a somber beach
Flowers dancing in the breeze
All sullen reminders of a world left behind
A world forgotten
Where peace and freedom reign
and war is but a distant nightmare
A place where dreamers can dream without criticism
and lovers can love without fear
A time when all are friends not enemies
and death is no where near
Animals live without fear of extinction
and humans live without hate.

Thank you every single one of you for making every day a very special day
