Golden Ropes of Hope

Life permeates throughout the universe.

We have a world, here and there, which supports and sustains it.

This one, our Earth, with our resolve, will house many who treasure life.

From my own innate will to survive I know the will of the universal life force.

My happiness, the joy of birth here, the oneness of life and environment,

All depend on the wisdom of appreciation. The protective forces are waiting to return. With sincere appreciation we activate them.

We are meant to be happy here. Hope is in these golden ropes of the Buddha’s teaching. For if the peoples will is to resign, then the protective forces will lead me, away from such blind destruction where I will find the other treasures in the universe, those that sustain life and that is where I will fight again for the will to survive.

Can I wake you from a bad dream of false prophecy? I will try and we together can recognize the true treasure of this life and many more to come into a distant future.

Little Wonder

Bye bye firefly, I will miss the magic you make in the night sky

They say you are leaving, a path of extinction where no one noticed or cared

I will miss the childhood wonder you brought and hold your sparkle

In my tears for those who do not care

They say death comes in threes and you weren’t the first

We were warned of the frogs, butterflies and bees

Such sacrificial things are these

When man kills man and abandons the Earth as the essential plan

I held you in my hand as I know that is the proper plan

To cherish the smallest wonder as the greatest thing ever

And so you will remain in my mind

With my prayer for all living beings, you, little wonder, will be there

With your leaving comes a grave devastation of nature

Where our desire has too little concern for her

There are many signs and too few answers

For the ones who know what to treasure

Your Magic Wand

Ask any Mother's child,

Purity reigns the heart

That seeks friends and joy.

How that purity leaves,

We have only ourselves to blame

If power and money are supreme.

Fear, greed and anger are your enemies

Kill the will to kill within

Want for others as you want for yourself.
