When Life Astounds Me

When life astounds me
and takes my breath away, I
think only of you.

Butterflies

When you are near me
the butterflies inside me
flap their wings at once.

My Wish For You

On the floating seed
of the last dandelion
rides my wish for you.

A Winter Evening

An old country road
Pine trees are laced in white snow
And wind is blowing

A little cottage
Sits on a cobblestone path
Next to a great wood

With frost-kissed windows
Warm lights come from within it
Welcoming cold nights

Holding his lantern
A snowman greets passers-by
In their sleighs and bells

Rosy cheeks and nose
Little boy comes home to rest
After a long day.

Cocoa warms the lips
Fireside chatting begins;
A perfect evening

Wonder

The wonder of you
Was revealed to my heart when
I first saw your face.

Sunlight

Sunlight paints oak trees
With peals of color and life
A sigh escapes me.

Nothing forgotten

Knows name of each star
And of every man on earth
Nothing forgotten.
