STAYING HEALTHY

To stay healthy 

is a pro-active choice

physically and mentally

I eat and consume

what can prolong my life

and keep positive energies flowing.

I am approximately 50 trillion cells

what a wondrous creature I am

need to stay healthy

strong, happy and peaceful

I live for others

and not for myself.

Around me and in me

is a well of goodness

as the sun shines to all

I am reminded

to share to the full

and to satiate pangs of hunger

KIND HEARTS

Unlikely events present us
goodness and kindness
a show of love
from people we don´t know.



They come, they touch us
our spirits lift up
to say thank you
and begin to see hope.

DEPRESSION

Depression, everyone undergoes
at one point
how do I survive
this period while I live
the daily humdrums of life?

I could only take much
need to stretch out
my nature and capacity
to outgrow and revive
as I pass thru depression.

It is physical, it is mental
to mend science and faith?
a call to appreciation
to heal, to reconcile
the world and me.

NEWNESS

Everything around me is unfamiliar

new space, new environment

different sound,different angle

it is a new horizon

call to newness.

Newness of life

I welcome with warm embrace

only to live

what it calls me 

today, this moment.

BUSY-NESS

I lack words and inspiration
to write a poem

my energies spent 

for the last week

organizing our new apartment

keeps me from creativity.

Series of activities 

are also addictions 

that keep one
from nourishing an interior world

silence and peace I befriend

to become my trusted companions.

HONEST EFFORT

Moment by moment
is an honest effort
to be conscious
that life evolves
around relationships
with myself and others.

It is an honest effort
to be kind
to feel gorgeous
see goodness
it is an honest effort
to acknowledge God.

JUST FOR TODAY, 48 years OF LIFE

As years go by
t´was only like yesterday
today, all the bygone years
are blown by the wind
to become an untraceable path.

Need to gather my thoughts
see how life has been
where I am now
what do I want
where I want to.

My being exists
and is, because I`m from God
my borrowed life for 48 years
is sufficient and beyond
what I expect and dream of.

What I thought
I can only live for 25 years
God gave me
23 years more
can I desire for 23 more years?

I have only today to account for
to enjoy and consciously spend
only TODAY, just for TODAY
I sincerely thank God
for completing my 48 years of life.

Tomorrow begins another year
a new day marks in the calendar
clock tic-tacs
and gifts unwrap
may the new year be full of concordance.

(on my birthday, August 7, 1962)

PONGO en la MESA

Pongo en la mesa

sin restricción

todo lo que siento
todo lo que pienso

sin juicio.


Ahora. sé la diferencia 
cuando uno esta vacío
veremos bién
la totalidad
de la situación.
