W3 :: Winter blues

On my way
Walking along by the river
I spotted this light pole
Standing still, strong 
Undisturbed by the snowstorm
Nobody, nothing can break its peace
I took my gloves off and snapped a photo
To take back home 
Just as a reminder


The Winter blues are here
Disturbing inner peace
Hold on tight to yourself

W3 :: beams of light

look
up in the sky
hope is there
between the beams of light
darkness retreats
room for joy
make space in your being
never leave for tomorrow
the opportunity is here and now


the opportunity is here and now
never leave for tomorrow
make space in your being
room for joy
darkness retreats
between the beams of light
hope is there
up in the sky
look
