poem

Nature and me

food from the earth
water from the sea
strength from the sun
nature and me

walk in the jungle
barefoot and free
the iguanas, the toucan
the snake in the tree

the orchids, the ferns
the coconut tree
the mango, the sugar cane
the jungle and me

the river, the creek
the stream and the sea
the pelican, the fish
the hummingbird and the bee

White Light Theory

i think that when people see the
white light, that they are actually
recalling the moment when they
are born and are blinded
by the light at the end of the birth
canal. it is a blinding
experience, the first image,
visible are sillouhettes of
beings, who are there to
“welcome you to the other side”

My memories

my memories, they come
they don’t ask for permission
anytime & anywhere
under any condition

i pause for my memories
i always give them attention
without them, i am no one
some, i’d rather not mention

my memories they come
they come from every direction
they hit me in my chest
they bring me much reflection

Time to take a break

the sky was clear, my mind was grey
rubbed my eyes and got out of bed
took a deep breath as i raised my head
gave thanks for the water and the bread
for my mother, my father, and the warm bed
my mind, my health, and my sense of things
all the circumstances that my life brings
took a pensive slow walk by the Carib sea
pulled a green coconut from a short tree
lay on the soft grass in the cool shade
for a confused kid, i had it made
cool breeze caressed my timid face
i was in awe of the wonderful place
the sights, the sounds, they calmed my soul
i wouldn’t trade it for silver or gold
before i knew it, i was living in L.A.
my mind was clear , but here, the sky was grey
i traded nature for opportunity
a choice no one should ever have to make
it must be time to take a break

Things not visible

there are many things not visible
that we simply cannot see
like things hidden underground
like the long, long roots of a tree

there are many things not visible
things hidden in the air
just because you cannot see them
it doesn’t mean they are not there

there are many things not visible
like things that are deep under the sea
creatures living in boiling water
things you would not believe could be

there are many things not visible
like the things inside my head
images that wont leave me
a child, innocent and dead

Life

life does not have a meaning

only a beginning and an end

venture to find the meaning and there goes your life my friend

life is Time, an hourglass flipped at birth

what are your gonna do with you time on this earth

life is like electricity

it could be good or bad

we can strap a man on a chair and give him death

or we can zap a man’s chest and give him back his breath

life is not a question that can be answered by man

life is a statement that screams and roars,

i am

Science and Religion will never make us comprehend

love your friends and family respect life to the end

what is important is how we treat each other

and whether we keep the environment clean

the rest is just a waste of time

if you know, what i mean
