FINGERS FROM HEAVEN


Source:


Fingers from heaven.
Reaching for the shore.
Shafts of light.
Lighting up the sky.
Bringing the clouds closer.
The rains sooner.
The winds following.
The end in sight.

IN THE SUN



Take me high.
To the sky.
Let’s have fun.
In the sun.

A SLICE OF HEAVEN


A kitten aboard a floating victoria water lily pad in the Philippines, circa 1935


My own island.
Floating in the sun.
My own heaven.
Of lily pads.

THE DEAD ARE HERE



The Dead are here.
Have no fear.
They love to play.
Come and stay.

INNOCENCE




The sleep of the innocent.
Relax.
Dream.
Of rivers.
Streams.
Valleys.
Mountains.
Flowers.
So peaceful.

DON’T WORRY

Source:

Don’t worry
Life will get you.
It always does.
It always will.

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN





Stairway to Heaven, Lello Bookshop, Portugal, 2015. Reinhard Görner. Lambda print

The stairway to heaven.
Where will it lead us?
To our family?
To happier times?
We could always dream.

I WILL SLEEP



Source:


Down I go
To the depths
Of my sadness.
I can’t go on.
I must rest.
Replenish my spirit.
Revitalize my soul.
I can turn around.
Go back up.
Try once more
To live my life.
First I will sleep.

UPSIDE DOWN





Upside down.
Nothing makes sense.
The evil succeed.
The good fail.
Living is for the bad.
Dying is for the good.
If I turn my head
Upside down,
Will it finally make sense?

PERFECT DAY




I want to walk across the rocks.
Lift my face to the sunshine.
Dip my toes in the cold water.
I’m ready.

CLEAR THE WAY


Source:

The waves roll in.
Not softly.
But with a bang.
A barrage of water.
To lift debris away.
To clear the way.
For The Dead.
THE DEAD GAME

LOOK FORWARD




The world we leave behind.
Adventures enjoyed.
Stories told.
Memories to be savored.
Don’t look back.
Drive on.
Look forward.
To the future.

PARADISE LOST


Palm trees to brush my long hair.
Sea breeze to soothe my hot skin.
Soft sand to cushion my steps.
Cold water to tingle my toes.
A smell of paradise for my nose.
But once night falls.
Paradise is lost for all.

THE DEAD GAME

IN THE SUN



Take me high.
To the sky.
Let’s have fun.
In the sun.

THE DEAD ARE HERE




The Dead are here.
Have no fear.
They love to play.
Come and stay.
