If I Could Be

Eagle

You have looked the skies,

Suddenly with hopeful eyes.

First, you see nothing, then

From a small point

It quickly emerges,

The wonder you been waiting to see: An Eagle.

Beautiful and gracious,

Just as you have hoped.

Your patience and caring had greatly paid off,

The pictures you have taken,

Will capture many hearts.

The more hearts you capture,

The more love will grow.

People will cherish and fight to protect

The wonderful life an eagle can have.

Imagination

Imagination by a child.

Never still. Limitless.

Shows hopes and joy.

Gives a smile and love.

Reveals purity and care.

The past is lost,

The present is now.

Make a wish

Floating in the open space,

Like pearls, the stars are falling below,

Their fast movement blinds you,

Your eyes are watering from the beauty,

Your heart full of love

Your soul sighs.

The world looks at you in the eye,

The stars bloom in your face,

They ask as they fall:

Make a wish!

Your destiny is for you.

Float! Love yourself.

In the open space, it is only you.

Your being is covered and surrounded by an unreal world.

Ties you down and throws you away.

Throw you up, but protect you and makes you float,

There is nothing you can do,

Now you are the child

You are holding a flower

and tearing it down just by picking the heads.

Eating sweets, you ask:

Please do something.

Hold in your chest,

Hug a child in happiness so he could feel that he is loved.

He needs to know that the one who is with him loves him.

You are floating in an open space.

In your own being.

Your life is an unspoken path that cannot be navigated,

Quietly taking small steps,

Falling occasionally walking ahead

Somewhere in the open space.

Yours.

Why?

Floating in open space.

It is only you.

Your eyes are wondering as they see the falling star.

Did you make a wish?

Loving

You have found me,

After all these years,

Brought love to me.

I have not thought,

Maybe,

In this lifetime,

I could be happy.

I thank for the day,

When I had first seen you.

The one who is my partner,

The shine of my days.

Flower of my heart,

Happiness of my life.
