The shaky ground.

I wish your life gets clean and smooth
Just stay away from hell of booze.
When you decide to work it out
Forget this hell and do without.

Don't set yourself on shaky ground,
Split up with booze and look around:
You'll see the world that needs your actions,
You'll get the real satisfactions.

If not, it's yours, I don't feel sorry,
You'll get all days as scary story,
You'll go there deeper in,
You'll live all life with Halloween…

I know you can get along.
Good luck! And never do the wrong.

1997.

Haiku.

River’s ringing air,
Rushing through ancient stones,
Carries Time with bubbles.

The note on a statue of an angel.

Speed of light or speed of thought?
What’s the gauge of this creation?
He’s a giant, he’s a tot –
Master of transfiguration.

This is just a statue there,
Not an angel – a reminder.
Once reminded, be aware –
He is here, swift as thunder.

He will listen when you get
Something worth to tell about,
And he’ll say… Please don’t forget
Words that heal with blessing cloud.

Butterflies.

Creatures glimmer, play and soar,
Strokes of light they draw in chase;
Strokes of sound, rhythm and color
Blend in chaos charging space.

Where do these charges go?
Maybe they swim into waves,
Those waves that shape and glow
Someone’s destiny with grace.
