versunken nur by Leo Grubler

Where shall the doves fly, should they fly my way
i would tell them that her poetic ripples
are now entwined in the rhythm
of time
and how my heart weeps, for she is me
and i am them, so we all can
weep together
short words in an ancient
universal, african
language
provide the drum
beats
heart murmur
silence
11
in twilight, sunlight, darkness
and blackness
she gave us life and the
sound of the drums
and
lullaby hymns
111
Ever notice, when you look up at the moon
no matter where you are in the world
it’s the same moon
we all see
Her Two Cents
“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou
