Breath...

It is said that she was born around the same time as the sun and there has 
been whisper about her very old age, four and a half billion years they say; 
Of all her siblings in the solar system - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn, Uranus & Neptune, she sits third on the throne nearest to the sun;
She is one of the only four terrestrial planets, according to the books and studies of Man, but remains unique in her biodiversity & is the only known planet to sustain life; She has long since been the only Home that Man has ever known - she is Earth...  

She is her very own womb, one and all at once with Mother nature, deeply
maternal and of astounding beauty; She is kind & bountiful, the very oasis 
of life and humanity drinks from her gushing springs; She thrives from the 
climate that bring about the magical seasons & the beauty of their colours 
and fragrance; She is the 'renewal' of Spring and the deep green valleys of 
Summer, she's the awesome colours of Autumn & the gentle snowflakes in 
Winter; She is the morning dew, the rising day and the dark veil of night... 

She is the purity of the wild daisies, scattered upon her wilderness and the 
dainty butterflies that flutter & dance in the morning sunlight; She is the 
flock of birds and the buzzing bees, the roars of the jungle and the countless 
species that swim in the depth of her waters; She is the robust centennial
trees and the ever blossoming fields of flowers and crop that sprout from 
her fertile soil; She is the primal cry of humanity and nourishes him from
the succulent fruit that grow in the vast orchids of her valleys...

She is the bigger part of the oceans and the very breath of life - Let not her
waters rise & flood nor her breath be strangled by the multiple activities of 
man, for she will have no choice but to rebuke in the most unmerciful ways 
and her kingdom could be destined to perish - Be kind to her for she is all & 
everything Man will ever have...

Behold the melting dawn...

                                                                                                                                                                                                         At sunrise...
Born of the earth, O' spirit of mine forever wandering
the avenues of yesterday, propel me into the morning 
light that comes afresh; Laughing sunbeams of 1'000 
dreams, kiss my forehead so there upon I may make a 
sunrise wish, that my heart soar high and freely on this 
day, sounding my flute in tune with the happy song of 
the morning bird...     

Born of the earth, O' spirit of mine forever projected to 
the skies and watching time use it's wings, ground me 
to the suspending moment of grace, timeless and unique 
so that I may fully live & catch the crimson dappled hues 
of the waking sun at dawn; For never again shall it wake 
with the same rehearse nor melody and refrain...

Born of the earth, O' spirit of mine forever anticipating 
the 'hours' that chase each other relentlessly, turn my 
regard toward the east so that my eyes behold the red 
scarlet splendour of the sunrise; A spectacular thing 
that Man could ever aspire to wake to, a heavenly glow 
smiling upon the earth, tending her hand in offer of yet 
another gift, that of today...
   
Born of the earth O' spirit of Man, wait not in expectation 
of bathing in the 'perfect' sunrise, for those exquisite and
unique 'moments' have long turned into a million sunsets 
that have now melted into the echos of 'time'...

October morning...

                                                                                                                                                                

'Awakening' whispers gently in my ear,                                            Awakenings of an awesome kind...
while 'Slumber' releases me from her
arms;  As I became fully awake on this October morning every sense 

of my being is struck in awe & wonder at the brand new autumn day that 
generously spills it's light and blurs my eyes in soft warm greeting; 

The sweet warm air carries strong promises of yet another offering to all 
mankind, beseeching him to breathe in the scent that lingers in the space
and time of a day;  And now, the autumn day has come and gone as night 
falls and gains in darkness;

'Slumber' repeats her gentle whisper in my ear, as the muscles in my body 
untie their knots one by one, while my brain empties and relieves itself of 
all its labours, replaying only the magical moments of that splendid day; 

She open wide her arms to rock me & I drift in her lulling comfort while, 
in my drowsiness 'Hope' dances before my heavy eyelids;                                                                                                                                                          
'Awakening' shall whisper softly in my ear, not too long now, when dawn 
comes to light; She shall lift me from 'Slumber's' arms one more time, to 
gently propel me into the amazing light of a new Autumn day; 'O new day 
of awesome splendours, grant me generously with renewed promises of 
life's most precious treasures;

September wish...

While the springs of riches flow abundantly through- 
out the mighty earth, still the cries of children remain                                                                                             Upon the brightest star... 
loud and incessant in many a forgotten land; Mouths               
parched with thirst and lips cracked, eyes desperately 
turned toward the blue heavens in plead;

If only the sacred drops of rain would fall all over the 
world in a million silver threads & fountains on every 
corner of the earth sprout in overflow to quench thirst 
of many a child; Oh how my heart would swell in song, 
for my wish would not have been in vain;

Come out children o' come from behind the shade, to 
play & dance in the laughing rain & taste the raindrops 
on your lips; And when the rain comes to cease, look to
the heavens and behold the beautiful vibrant colours of 
the majestic rainbow splashed across the sky;

Child of the universe I know not where you are, only the
twinkling stars in the wide sky serve as our bond while 
we gaze in marvel at the same 'shimmers of wonder' & 
upon which I cast a special wish, that mankind reconcile
with goodwill and share 'earth's' abundance with you;

Night after night I shall scan the skies in search of the
brightest star upon which I will make a silent wish of
good intent specially for You; For some day in the near
future, your children and the children of the earth will
in turn look to you for a fair and beautiful world;

Child of the Earth, may you always feel the gentle breeze 
on your face & may you forever dance & laugh in the rain...

Thoughts forever in flight...

                 We lay scattered upon the mighty earth like sparkling 
                                 wild daisies, graceful and even more 
                                                becoming than ever...

       Laughter is yesterday's vivid memory, today's precious gift and 

             tomorrow's beautiful melody, like the giddy waves of the 

                         ocean, forever in quest of the golden shores...
                                                             ~~~~
We are but only a breath in the wind carrying songs that sweep through 
            the branches evergreen while some gasps inevitably escape 
                                      into the wanderings of heaven...
                                                            ~~~~

Let tears not choke for they shall drown the soul & every single teardrop 
    that spills like raindrops shall never be in vain, for after each raging 
       storm, behold the rainbow in the sky beautiful and flamboyant...

                                                            ~~~~
In joy & sadness, in devotion & dishonour, in laughter & tears, in triumph 
and loss, in bliss & sorrow, in radiance & dimness, in strength & weakness; 
    All these things are as such in Love - they cohabit like an imperfect pair 
      that fall and rise in striving to become one in the ultimate gift of life..

                                                            ~~~~

    I am forever in flight, sometimes up in the galaxies reaching for the 
        brightest star and other times like a butterfly - beauteous thing 
           dancing above the verdant grass and flirting with the most
               beautiful flowers, kissing their topmost pearl and when
                 wide opens the candid night, I am delightfully elated 
                                   with 'sweet' in which I fall asleep...

Bathe Amidst The Songs Of Beauty...

Far from the dizzying clamour...


Far from the dizzying clamour of the neon 
lights, hush & listen in quietude to the sweet 
melodies of the earth and walk the paths of 
Nature's kingdom where she lieth in her vast 
eternity; And where manifold voices of crystal 
clear waters spring from gushing waterfalls & 
flow into the winding rivers that rush to the 
great seas; 


Far from the dizzying clamour of the neon lights, hush & listen in quietude 

to the sweet melodies of the earth and walk the paths of Nature's kingdom 

where she rises and salutes the sky in indescribable humility, by far more 
touching than any speech, while the soft wind whistles through the rustling 
trees & white-crowned sparrows sing at moon set;

Far from the dizzying clamour of the neon lights, hush & listen in quietude 

to the sweet melodies of the earth and walk the paths of Nature's kingdom 

where vast  forests transform into magical patterns and colours, greeting 
the sunrise in blissful delight time and over again, as the seasons continue 
to turn in harmonious and cheerful refrain;

Far from the dizzying clamour of the neon lights, hush & listen in quietude 
to the sweet melodies of the earth and walk the paths of Nature's kingdom 
where the Robins chant at dawn's first light and drink morning dew from 
the murmuring grass, while the Bluebird's chorus rings out in wistful notes, 
high above in the sunlight sky;                                                                                                                             Written by Wajia-Patricia Bühl

Far from the dizzying clamour of the neon lights & noisy distractions of the 
world, bathe amidst the songs of beauty & listen in quietude to the Earth's
heartbeat gallop in harmonious rythme with Nature's beautiful tunes...

                                               

One Heavenly Instant...

                                                                                                                                                                  I dreamed of the solar eclipse - 

The moon, a glowing sail of ethereal beauty and the sun, 
a bright seraphic burst of flames roamed the skies and 
chased each other relentlessly in the wide & open heavens; 
And when they finally met & collided, the entire earth was 
humbled and came to a standstill as she watched the most 
spectacular splendour, unfold right before her eyes; 

The giant red and yellow fiery balls held hands and as if in slow motion,
the moon veiled the sunlight as their bodies interlaced & formed beautiful 
patterns that changed and flowed; And just before they embraced in their 
entirety they blinked and closed their eyes to the entire earth, casting a 
dark veil over her face, as if to shield their 'stolen moments' of intimacy 
from the indiscreet eyes of the world;

As the earth waited helplessly for the lights of heaven to flood upon her, 
she held her breath to stop herself from drowning in the pit of darkness,
while the moon and the sun slowly and progressively disentangled from 
their brief & sweet entice, then rose high above in the majestic sky, with 
grace and glow; 

As they returned  separately to their orbits, they blessed the earth with 
their flooding & magnificent light, filled with promises of new 'Suns' for 
many centuries to come and that lovers will forever gaze at in awe and 
wonderment;

I dreamed of the solar eclipse and I saw the sun & the moon kiss in sweet
and heavenly harmony, like in offering humanity new beginnings of the 
most beautiful endeavours; I dreamed of the solar eclipse so splendid & 
magical, and forever in my heart...

Bright Rainbow Colours Of Laughter...

Let joy not wane for when darkness unveils the sun she shall
rise to the east of the heavens and call out 'Come, behold the 
melodies that laugh'eth in the sun & sing with me to the ends 
of the earth'; And in turn, when darkness claims the night, the 
crescent moon of promise will glow in it's brightest smile and 
the magical 'shimmers' of the galaxies shall flood the skies in a million sparkling diamonds;

Let laughter not be mute of soul's delight, for where else shall 
her melodies dwell if not in the very pulse of her lyrics; She is 
yesterday's memory, today's gift and tomorrow's beautiful 
songs where joy and tear meet; She is the lighthearted ripples
that flow from one heart to another and the very bond of love
and even brings a joyful tear to the eye; She is a thrill, like the 
giddy waves of the ocean forever in quest of golden shores;
  
Let tears not choke, for they shall drown the soul and though 
breasts will throb a lifetime through & tears will fall like rain 
caught in a raging storm, every single teardrop that spills life's 
'music' will not be in vain; For Love's fond eye shall behold the 
hues of sunbeam's light after each and every raging storm has 
washed away the dust;

Let love not perish in the shadow of darkness, guard & savour 
all of her light, her joy, her laughter & happy tears for she shall 
forever offer her smile so tender, put a sparkle in the dulled eye 
and kindle the glowing flame of the soul - She is the beholder of 
life's happy moments, like bright rainbow colours laughing in 
the sky...

In Fleeting Instants Of Joy...

                      

Reach to kiss the sun...








Giant waves toss and drift like lines of a great verse scribbled upon the 
waters, as a roar of laughter emerges from deep beneath the great seas; 
And in the ebb of her tide, I hear her sigh with joy as countless ripples 
gather and ready once again to chase each other in play and rise high 
above the surface of the waters, as if in trying to reach the sky... 

Grey clouds roam the skies like damp thick blankets choking the heavens 
and as the thunder rumbles, a shriek of lightening pierces the darkness,
when suddenly I hear the clouds burst in loud cry; And as their tears fall 
upon the parched earth like a shower of silver threads, she drinks thirstily 
while the mighty heavens proclaim Majesty of the sky in glorious raiment 
of light... 

Gusting winds race in solemn whistle across the vast empty plains like a 
violin screeching in sorrowful tune; As the fierce & howling winds travel 
farther and farther away, their cries of lament fade into faint whisper and
cease to silence as night turns to dawn; Soft warm sun rays touch my face 
in gentle stroke, as I reach to kiss the sun & succumb to the fleeting instant 
of joy...
