Human Life
The spirit of
life is carried away
in the wind of
the universe
that blows
softly or hard
in the course of
time
full of past
memories
and future
dreams.
Birds sing their
songs
as human hearts
do.
Every teardrop
can become
a blossoming
smile one day.

A Barefoot Hero
Particles of
dust
smiled at the
foot passing.
They sensed the
wind of freedom.
Tree leaves
cracked
under the foot
pressure
but smiled
happily.
They understood
the way of
living unbound.
The butterflies
noticed the movements
and tried to
keep pace with.
The birds
praised the efforts
looking from
above.
The man
continued walking
among the stones
of his heart.
He took strength
barefoot
to get rid of
his soul burden.
The touch on the
earth
sustained his
breathing.
The soil made
him an everyday hero.
He would never
give up.
