HAPPY FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN

Happy first day of fall from

THE DEAD GAME SERIES

Let the leaves change colors and fall.

Shades of orange, red, and yellow.

Autumn, the best season of all.

BUDS OF HOPE

BUDS OF HOPE

In midst of despair and sorrow
rise buds of hope for the morrow.
Still standing upright and strong
against all that can go wrong.

These are extreme times of confusion and change,
media expanding over a broader range. 
We are attacked by sounds in each direction,
leaving no time for thinking and reflection.

These flowers know what’s real,
they go by what they feel.
Away from the hustle and bustle,
they grow wild without any tussle.

A day to clear my cluttered mind is all I need,
to recharge my battery is what I should heed.
I’ll recharge in a quiet place like this,
a zest for life is what I dearly miss.

THE LAST TREE STANDING

I face the wind.

Each day I wait.

Time passes.

I wait for the world to change.

People come and go.

I hear sounds of trees falling

and cries of animals dying.

The rolling hills are replaced by buildings,

monstrous symbols to mankind.

Fewer trees dot the naked landscape.

Dirty water fills the lakes and ocean.

Mankind has changed the world

in irreversible ways.

Stop before it’s too late.

I refuse to be the last tree standing.

FACE THE WIND

I face the wind.

Each day I wait.

For time to pass.

The world to change.

But day by day.

People come and go.

Live their short lives.

Leaving no change at all.

BUDS OF HOPE

In midst of despair and sorrow
Rise buds of hope for the morrow.
Still standing upright and strong
Against all that can go wrong.

These are extreme times of confusion and change,
Media expanding over a broader range. 
We are attacked by sounds from each direction,
Leaving no time for thinking and reflection.

These flowers know what's real,
They go by what they feel.
Away from the hustle and bustle,
They grow wild without any tussle.

A day to clear my cluttered mind is all I need.
To recharge my battery is what I should heed.
I'll recharge in a quiet place like this.
A zest for life is what I dearly miss.

I FEEL BLUE

I FEEL BLUE

Inside, I feel blue.
Do you feel it too?
Only sadness all around.
No happiness to be found.

Why do I always feel this same way?
Am I destined to forever pay
For others' misfortunes and deeds
That no one listens to or heeds.

I want to see other colors and shades.
And not just blue that eventually fades.
I want orange and green
And everything in-between.

My heart is feeling lighter.
The world is turning brighter.
Maybe the world revolving on its axis
Will make life easier than death and taxes.

CONTINUUM

CONTINUUM

Life has no beginning
And no end.
Only a state of flux.
Step onto the ride
And hold on tight.

MOTION

Motion.
The world is in motion.
Nothing stays still for long.
Life is in a constant
flux of change,
for better,
or for worse.
We can’t stop it.
We can’t slow it down.
We must ride with it.
And see where it takes us.
Each one of us has our
own journey to follow.
Where it will lead,
no one can tell us.
It has a beginning and an end.
But the middle is the unknown entity.
Something we must create
for ourselves.
Might as well enjoy the ride
for as long as it lasts.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Look into my eyes.
What do you see?
Do you see a reflection
of yourself?
Do you see what I see
when I look at you?
Do you like what you see?
If not, then there’s still time
to change.
To become a better person.
What do other people see
when they look at you?

WISHING FOR SNOW?

Why is it that when it’s hot outside,
we crave the snow?
And when it’s cold and stormy,
we dream about the sun.
Is it because the grass is
always greener on the other side?
Or is it just because we like change?
So when you’re sitting on the beach
with the hot sun in your face,
don’t be surprised if you begin to think of snow.

THE ONE CONSTANT IN LIFE

englishsnow: Leendert Buteijn

Seasons change.
Life changes.
People change.
The one constant in life is change.
I won’t mention death or taxes.

THE ONE CONSTANT IN LIFE

THE ONE CONSTANT IN LIFE

We stand alone.
No one can truly understand us
or what we feel.
We have our own life experiences.
We make friends and get married,
but no one can enter our minds,
enter our complex thought processes.
We can share our life with others,
but at the end of the day,
we truly stand alone.

During our lives, we all go
through metamorphosis.
We change daily.
Some days, we look in the mirror
and don’t even recognize ourselves.
But deep down, we are the same,
we are who we are and nothing or
no one is going to change that.
So remember to be yourself
because that is who you are
destined to be.
