Wide fields kiss the sky
Daisies dance in warm sunlight
Nature’s quilt unfolds
Greeted by deafened silence
With only the wind speaking…

Drippity Drop
Drippity drop, off to trot,
Skipping puddles, lost in thought.
Nowhere in sight, yet off to seek,
Wandering dreams, mild and meek.
–
Drippity drop, whispers grow,
Patterns in the rain that only I know.
What to do? I do not say—
Drippity drop, and I’m swept away.
Listen to Your Heart
In the quiet moments, take a part,
And listen closely to your heart.
Your mind may wander, restless and free,
But it often craves chaos, can’t you see?
Thoughts like storms may swirl and spin,
Breeding doubts and worries deep within.
Yet your heart whispers, soft and clear,
Guiding you gently, drawing you near.
When confusion reigns and chaos calls,
Let your heart’s truth break down the walls.
It knows the way, through joy and strife,
Leading you toward a peaceful life.
So pause, reflect, let feelings start,
And always trust the words of your heart.
For in its depth, you’ll find what’s right,
A shining path, your guiding light.
Silent Wishes Under the Stars
A twinkling star bright at night.
Where everyone makes their wishes.
So they do not end up in plight
Deeply wanting all the riches
Whispered hopes in silent ambition
A guiding light for all who dream.
In the dark, I silently wish.
As the moon casts its silver gleam.

Sally the Sun
Sally the Sun wanted some fun,
She dreamed of a bright, merry run.
With her rays all aglow,
She’d outpace the day’s flow,
Chasing light ’til the day was all done.
Echo of a Leaf
A lonely leaf
drifts away
slowly
Peek-a-Boo, I See You
Peek-a-boo, I see you
No need to hide who you are
I know, and I like you the way you are
So come out and play with me,
Together we’ll laugh and roam free,
With smiles that shine just like the stars,
Let’s share our joy, no matter how far.
“Color of Love” by Boyz II Men
Boyz II Men is undoubtedly my all-time favorite R&B group. While I appreciate all of their songs, a few truly stand out, and I’d like to share one of them today with the possibility of diving into more in the future.
One song that resonates deeply with me is “Color of Love.” Although it may not have reached the commercial heights of classics like “I’ll Make Love to You,” “End of the Road,” and “One Sweet Day,” it captivated me from the very first listen, not just with its beautiful melody but also with its profound message. Here’s why this song holds a special place in my heart.
One of the most striking aspects of “Color of Love” is the group’s signature harmonies, which showcase their incredible vocal abilities. The way they blend their voices creates an emotional depth that draws you in. For example, the line “I can see the color of your love” is delivered with such heartfelt intensity that it resonates deeply. Their harmonies establish an atmosphere that allows me to fully feel the emotions behind the lyrics.
The song conveys a powerful message about love transcending boundaries. It embodies the essence of embracing individuality and the myriad shades that love can take. The phrase “It’s more than a feeling; it’s a state of mind” emphasizes how love can transform our perception of the world around us. This message encourages us to look beyond superficial differences and appreciate the deeper connections that unite us.
What truly sets “Color of Love” apart is its ability to evoke profound emotions. The chorus serves as a poignant reminder that love exists on a spectrum, a sentiment that resonates with anyone who has ever loved or lost. The lyrics “You are my everything, all that I need” encapsulate devotion and the yearning for connection. I believe this song prompts listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the vibrant colors they bring into their lives.
In conclusion, “Color of Love” by Boyz II Men is not just another hit; it’s a heartfelt expression of love’s complexities and beauty. The mesmerizing harmonies, powerful message, and nostalgic feelings it stirs make it a cherished piece of music in my life. I invite you to give it a listen and share your thoughts!

Near and Dear
Be still my beating heart for love is surely near,
Someone just for you, to hold you close and dear.
A gentle touch, a laughing smile,
Together we can walk a while.
Chasing Heart’s Wishes
Journey through the night
To reach the wish of your heart.

Dance of Passion
In every street, her passion found,
The dancer twirls, the world around.
With graceful leaps, her spirit soars,
A dance that echoes, forever endures.
In moonlit nights and sunny rays,
You’ll find her joy in endless plays.
With every step, she paints the air,
A love for dance, beyond compare.
