As the light



It's getting light soon
spring is announcing itself
the days become longer
I hear the birds sing

They migrate to different places
looking for a good spot
to build a nest for their little ones
where they hatch out the egs

They use twigs and feathers
so the nest is soft and strong
and when it's  time to come out
the eggshells will burst

Mother and father take their turns
to provide the little ones
with some tasty mjammie worms
or other delicious foods

Some of the little birds
are to week to outlive
mother throws it out the nest
so others have more space

To become healthy birdies
in a tough world to survive
and when they're grown enough
they go out to fly

As soon as the light in east
comes up with the sun
they wake up in an adult life
to start a whole new day

Where they fly and fly
repeating their parents way
until their time is done here
and birdies paradise waits

2023: In a world full of chaos, creativity is one of the helping things to keep yourself sane. ******************************** 2014: A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen than you have something very special. - Nelson Mandela - ******************************** I am from the land of tulips and mills. Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
