We must grow up
But not so much
That when we look back
We are not able to see
...

Man waved his magic wand
And on earth sprouted
Monuments of great art
Wonders of technology
...

Breeze strums the leaves
To awaken them at dawn
Trees and breeze
Together in consonance
...

All clamour had died down
Arguments came to an end
Nothing more was left to say
Turbulent minds cooled off
...

God said: Let there be light
And there was light
And God loved light
It was dark midnight
...

TREE

Leaves fall
From tree
...

I can't forget
The warmth of bed
In winter nights
When as a child
...

It is not bad
To have good beliefs
To disseminate them
And let them grow
...

...

...

My love!
Don't bring
for me
your gifts
...

Cool summer evening
After a daylong rain
Darkness descending
Layer upon layer
...

...

SPAIN 1936
Clash between the new and the old
The old claimed to be all pure gold
It gave the new its rusted mould
...

As I sat at a table
Eating curry and rice
When came a young woman
With a child in her arms
...

...

Hope

Pitch dark cloudy night
A candle in a lonely hut
...

...

When they assault your brain
To make monetary gain
Be ever on your guard
It may just be a fraud
...

High blue sky
Rising sun
Twinkling stars
Silvern moon
...
