A Vision

We all come to make a promise happen
Beg you to welcome us with arms wide open
Individual Muses together we Awaken
We all as one family a duty is given
We bring to you our sacred mountain
You bring us your wind and terrain
Let us Heal the world dying with pain
Our spirits blended evil power to drain
Our cultures and skills to Inspire
Let there be no more slaves and master sire
To Unite for true Change to transpire
No Pride No Greed No violent Desire
Let us forge a chain of Equality
All men be free even in Diversity
Show the world true meaning of Humanity
Artists and Poets, that is our moral duty
Let us be blind to Colors of Race
Let us be deaf to Discrimination phrase
No Gender No Age to hide our face
No Fame No Richness No Name to trace
We shall all stand with our heads up
Each one in loving arms to wrap
Let no lies or doubts set up trap
We all rise with Honor on our lap



Words be True

Words may cover ones heart
Yet time shows where they start
Lines connect to tear them apart
Beware from goal never depart
Words may cover as mask
Yet time will put them to task
Lines to show the inside of a husk
Beware one's own heart always ask
Words may others convince
Yet time filters all ever since
Lines drawn whether a lie wince
Beware one's own truth never mince
Always walk on one's true path
Lest one gather the judge's wrath

She has always considered life as an endless journey, searching for new goals, and challenges and how she can in small ways make a difference in every path she takes. She sees humanity as one family where each one must support the other and considers poets as a voice for Truth in pursuit of Equality and proper Stewardship of nature despite the hindrances of distorted information and traditions.
