What I'm Waiting for
the hue of the morning had a light drizzle
the sun gazed softly at the Goddess sweetly
I hurriedly opened the green lush
hope it's warm in the middle of the hut
the gurgling flow caresses
when natural singing lulls
soft grasshopper kiss on thatch
make life harmoniously balanced
really the Goddess missed by people
doesn't want to suffer from the rain
prostrating begging in silence

Rhythm of the Winds
I heard the symphony of the day
I don't need to buy
I stopped listening to music playback
through leaves from one tree to another
the wind starts the violin
use sandalwood as rent
chasing songs full of souls
and gently carried around the branches
a calm breeze came
larger strings burst in
strong strains increase fast
and I listen to the melody pervade
gusts on the grass play soft...

The Rhythm of Life
back in the birds singing open early
keep pace with the heart
turning the rhythm of life
the chance goes back to light
it should be colorful and cheerful
the hum of the water sucker
over the rubbing of the broom stick
prepare for the feeling of picking up hope
the squeal scream swarmed with courage
prepare yourself to catch up with charm
morning nature music gently swings
cool consc...

On earth away from earth
Are you a tourist or
A volcanologist my dear?
With a painful joy
To a live volcano getting near,
Do you want to pay homage
To earth's nadir
Conscious that beneath a sea level
A sweltering heat you can bear?
Then to Erta Ale go you not why
Found under Ethiopia's sky?
With a style jumping high,
Hitting the ground
Beating drums, on their waists,
Sabres tied around
Afro men along wi...

The voice of God/የእግዚአብሔር ድምፅ(trans in Amharic)
I bent again unto the ground
And I heard the quiet sound
Which the grasses make when they
Come up laughing from the clay
--We are the voice of God!—they said
Thereupon I bent my head
Down again I might see
If they truly spoke to me.
But, around me, everywhere,
Grass and tree and mountain where
Thundering in mighty glee,
--We are the voice of deity!—
And I leapt from where I lay:
I d...

Once An Acorn
Handsome oak tree, one grand thread,
but split, split, split. Tangle of limbs,
cloud of leaves, your thread is
a network of veins; what is more
alive than you? What years have you
not known, and intimately:
their seasons have a particular ring
in your meticulous soul.
Unaware of my second nature
still you know how I plague a world
-it is in the air that sustains ...

The Garden
I step out
Into that mystic choir
That holds my heart
Where time, standing still,
Moves with the seasons
Quietly changing my world
With its elemental tune
While my song is barely heard:
A contrapuntal whisper
Struggling for harmony
For my land is my chancel
Hymns hum soft on its breezes
And prayer rises in its stillness
In this quiet place of remembrance

The Crocodile and the Weaver - Esteve Bosc-Perreux
The Crocodile and the Weaver By Estève Bosc-Perreux
In the forest, near a river,
Was placed the home of a weaver.
And in the Egyptian Nile,
There lived a crocodile.
But when he changed habitat,
In the river he sat.
“Hi there, you little bird.”
But that is what the weaver heard:
“Where are you my little baby?”
The weaver responded, “Can I help, maybe.”
“I’m sorry, b...

Back to Nature
Nature, she called to me
Come lie down by my side
Whispering softly and soothingly under
her cool breeze breath
Hesitantly stumbling through my thoughts
Not wanting to give in too quickly to this request
I crawled around the bloody earth for what seemed like an age
Crumbling at times
Standing tall then crashing down
It is time
I will lie down with you now.

Resurrected
Resurrected
Glancing from window
Into soft white snow wrapping
Signs of spring?
Long yellow catkins from twisted hazel
Where remains of distressed thoughts hung
Decaying yet diminishing as troubles often do
Frozen pond where jelly spawn from
Spent dead frogs was now protected
Ready to emerge as warmth re-appeared.
Tender plants pausing
Enclosi...

Autumn leaves through the front door
Autumn leaves through the front door.
The frightened leaves of the cherry trees
Flee with the aid of the wintery breeze
Get caught up in the metal frame
Of the iron gate that stands tight shut.
Their autumnal hues and end of the year
Brittleness complete the picture
Of the end of one season
but also the beginning of
a time of renaissance.

Night Next to Day
The rustle of the leaves in the air so dark
The black color of the autumn falls
The whistle of the wind, cool and covert
The striking chill, or lack thereof
The brightness of the moon that shines dull
The freshness of the invigorating air
The comeliness of the sky in bloom
The absence of invalid existence
The want for peace and quietude
The calmness and almost everlastin...

Lon dark way
A long dark way and the loneliness deep
Some memories some wists along i keep
silence complete the wind one can hear
Hissing of moving leaves everywhere
A shady path align with trees
A sight from all cares it frees
Some dry leaves wistfully laid
Some still on trees all greenfly clad
A musk of dry dust in air
The drowning sun with few last stares
rising some smoke from chimneys far ...
