Friends
.
To realize my idea of lustre
I planted them in fertile soil -
And blessed them with my wishes and hopes -
All those shrubs and trees in my garden.
.
With love I irrigate and nourish them;
Admiring them as they bloom;
On pedestals of hope they flourish –
All the shrubs and trees in my garden.
.
Weed and parasites get nip in the bud
Only forces of nature I cannot forestall -
Because of storms I have lost
some shrubs and trees in my garden.
.
True to my idea of lustre
I have chosen my friends one by one -
Admiring them as they bloom
in the corners of my heart.

Fey in the sea
.
Fey in the waves of the sea
I rollick about for all to see.
Am I twelve or am I fifty?
Age is relative in the waves of the sea.
.
Fey in the waves of the sea
I laugh and scream for all to hear -
Am I a boisterous child
or a wise old lady?
.
Fey in the waves of the sea
I fight and fall and flee -
Subjected to the current
of many underrated waves.
.
Fey in the waves of life
we live and love and become
models intact in the hearts
of our beloveds and friends.
.
Life is like the sea
with waves we cannot create,
control or count. Slightly insane!
We’re all models in the waves of life.
