River 

Flowing current against my warm body.

The river whispers to me, “Be strong and stand tall

let your womanhood become strong.

Sometimes sadness flows into my soul and beckons me 

to lay down.

And the river pounds on my body “Arise , Stand Tall 

Be Strong “.

Now my body is filled with the strength of the Old Strong river 

flowing into me.

It breathes the breath of life.

Gentle Soul 

Lay down on the warm sandy beach.

Castles in the sand make believe I’m walking 

with you hand and hand.

You are the gentle soul that lights up my life.

Walking Through The Mist 

Walking through the mist your hand touches mine.

Shadows of our bodies touch each other.

Oh! Stars Show me your brilliant light .

Stars light up my soul,

Walking through the mist with you

Loneliness 

Tears  of sadness run down my face .

Loneiness is my passion.

Turn and turn you’re not there.

Open the earth so I may go down ,

Sea sends your waves to flood my grave .

Open deep so I will fall.

The Breath of life is gone.

Environment 

Terrorism Hits Our Sea

Terrorism hits our sea with black goo

of concoctions with deadly elixir the demons 

drink venom.

Like the snake venom the sea dies a painful death.
