“I am begging: Let me be lonely but not invisible.” – Natalie Diaz-
Let me tell you my feelings
Let me know if you want me
But don’t ignore me
I’m real
Not a puppet
I am here
You can call me
But don’t ignore me!

Why
I wonder what happened
I don’t know why…
Time passes by so fast
I learned the difference
When to say…Yes!
And when to say… No!

Angel Wings
Wings displayed
Ready to help
White as pure
Ready to guide
Moving fast
Ready to protect
Never too late
To trust in him!

Unknown
Unseen presence
Obscure figure
Wondering around
Who is he…
Who is she…
Wondering around
Waiting for sentence
In the last judgement

Strawberry Moon
Strawberry moon shines in my backyard
Pinkish and brighter than ever
Shining in the cloudy night
Waiting for a clear sky
June special summer
Sublime moment
’til next time
Farewell

A child is born
Celebrate together
A mystery
A Savior
Families, friends,
Food, traditions
Joy and gifts
Celebrate in peace
With love and rejoice
The reason of the Season

Getting lost
Get lost may lead to something…
A lesson
A new way
A story
A tell
A message
Or maybe…
To nothing!
