 Hana 花 (Like A Flower) 🌺

4/18/2024

Like a flower you bloomed,

And like a flower you fell,

But your beauty shall never pass

You shall be remembered

A light that blooms evermore

The petals that you left behind

Are the memories all hold dear,

And the seeds that fell of inspiration

Shall blossom for many years…

あなたが咲かせた花のように、

そして、あなたは花が落ちたように、

でもあなたの美しさは決して消えることはありません

あなたは思い出されるでしょう

永遠に咲く光

あなたが残した花びら

今では誰もが大切にしている思い出

インスピレーションが降り注ぐ種

永遠に咲くだろう

As flowers bloom a short while, while we cherish them, some lives are fragile like flowers. But as we can remember the beauty of a flower, we can remember the beauty of a life. And as a flower’s energy is ever present in spirit in nature eternal, our spirits are eternal, forever, energy that lives on in memory, in heart, and in spirit. Respect Inspiration Purpose

A Candle on the Heart(h)

In a home,

Where two rivers meet,

A familiar smile, a laugh,

A kind gesture, a dear friend,

A light that shines on, a gift

Eternal Joy always to be remembered

Grounded inspiration like a reflective coffee break,

A superhero heart that beats on…

Remember to smile, to remember joy…

The sun comes tomorrow at dawn…

Good friends

Good Friends

Are something rare precious,

Unique and unusual…

They stick around no matter the weather,

They show up when you least expect it,

They know your quirks and flaws, and are still amazed by you,

They in turn inspire you…

Keep good friends old and new,

Nurture them when you can, and tend them when you think of them.

Life has family you have, family you find, and family you create,

Keep all your family in your heart,

And grow your future bright…

Dawn

 Dawn Against Trauma

Dawn Against Trauma

June 7, 2023

Flashes of traumas I can’t control

Get stuck like a skip in a song on a scratched record

Scars I can’t remove from my mind

Replaying without my permission 

Some think you can cure this,

It is called remission,

Remission is not a cure

Relapses still occur

You have no say or choice 

You pray, you persist, you fight, you scream,

When all you need is a reassuring compassion,

A silly distraction, a bit of fun, a moment’s inspiration of something new,

A simple hug,

Support is sometimes a distant long lost friend,

But what is lost is found

You put out gratitude 

Fight positively, but embrace emotion 

Try not to repress and pray to heal

Is love a cure for the uncureable?

Faith is a flexible long lasting glue

I pray, anyone who understands 

Finds the comfort they need

In a good solid friend

Brighter joyful tomorrows do exist,

And nightmares must fade like shadows in the light

Shine bright! For Now is Dawn!

World Goth Day

May 22, 2023

A Goth Day

5-22-2023

Black lipstick, lace parasol 

A stroll on a cloudy day at the cemetery park

Reflection on the artistry from the past, philosophy, and literature,

Contemplating the frailty of life

And fragile emotions we repress

Embracing shadows and moonlight 

The changing transformations and wild expressions 

All around us

Daring to be an original 

An unique creation of the Divine 

A Gothic day in paradise 

To know the dark and

The Light

To be the dark light

That shines bright 

To dare to be

A goth…

—Rebel to be the color that you are

Fear no judgement

Dare to inspire a new way

It is a perfect 

Goth day…

Tomorrow’s Waltz

2/20/2007

Tomorrow 

Not so far from today

Walls will not hold

Our love trapped

In frozen mirrors 

Sands of time

Will run to bring

Family

Back to life

Freedom and dreams 

Come true

White and red

Life and future

Legacy and Hope

Tomorrow 

Someday soon

Resurrect things past

Thought lost

Again with music,

Art and dance,

Tea and cake,

Cards and games,

Romance and celebration,

A round of never dying 

Spring in our beating 

Hearts filled with the

Warmth of love bringing

Tomorrow…

-ACK-
