Tears

Tears! tears! tears!
In the night, in solitude, tears,
On the white shore dripping, dripping, suck'd in by the sand,
Tears, not a star shining, all dark and desolate,
Moist tears from the eyes of a muffled head;
O who is that ghost? that form in the dark, with tears?
What shapeless lump is that, bent, crouch'd there on the sand?
Streaming tears, sobbing tears, throes, choked with wild cries;
O storm, embodied, rising, careering with swift steps along the beach!
O wild and dismal night storm, with wind--O belching and desperate!
O shade so sedate and decorous by day, with calm countenance and regulated pace,
But away at night as you fly, none looking--O then the unloosen'd ocean,
Of tears! tears! tears!

to Never forget the genocide of millions of American Indians !!!

May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.

Don't go outside your house to see flowers.
My friend, don't bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens.

my bench

i love to play with my bench in the garden,
it is sooooo alone ;-(((((((
when i arrive it looks directly at me, anything to hide all naked
and pure ..... waiting .....



this time we played the season colors,
it liked a lot ;-)))))))) me too !!!
it stays all pretty shining almost blushing, asking
change it again, pleeease ???



well, i changed but it doesn't like at all ;-(((((((
to be like this, negative, feeling like a ghost,
not knowing if it's from here or another world .....
it is stupid to be god !!!

May serenity circle on silent wings
and catch the whisper of the wind.

Whenever I see an erring man, I say to myself I have also erred;
when I see a lustful man I say to myself, so was I once; and in this way I feel kinship with everyone in the world and feel that I cannot be happy without the humblest of us being happy.

What weeping face is that looking from the window?
Why does it stream those sorrowful tears?
Is it for some burial place, vast and dry?
Is it to wet the soil of graves?
