120. MEMORIES

The flowers are in full bloom...

colouring the meadows into a carpet....

The birds dance in mid-flight 

and the butterflies fleet in and out of their flowers 

and at night the fireflies light up their neons......

but that was YESTERDAY'S, 

when we were youths and now we have grown.....

So dies the youth in each and everyone of us....

and in its place is what we call 

MEMORIES....

119. KYOTO LOVE

Kyoto......

my heart was there for a time...

for it never really left....

and now when I close my eyes, 

my soul and my spirit fly 

upon the silent winds just to be there again...

to walk beneath Kyoto skies...

and listen to the birds in the bamboo groves...

Oh how I long to return to the love of my heart...

and there he still awaits me....
