5 POEMS:

--------

Life is wine
accept bitterness
to enjoy.

--------

Love is the light
blind can see.
Love is the music
deaf can hear.
Love is the song
mute can sing
and lame can dance with.

--------

The trip is long.
I remember faces
of my fellow travelers
the ones who got off
and I see the ones
who are still with me
and I wonder
in which station
I must get off
and which bus I should take
for my new ride.

--------

I see flowers bud
open
fade
and bud again
and I realize
death is not the end.

--------

I stand
like a snowman
at the end of winter.
I glow like the flame
of a candle.
I last
like a rainbow.
