Through My Eyes. . .



~~*^*~~


In my life I've shed many a tear 
sprinkled through every season 
teardrops of pain, joy and sorrow 
each tear always had its reason 

~*~
Emerging in the corners of my eyes 
they take on the character of a tear 
one-by-one they flow down my face 
resembling glistening gems so clear 

~*~
Some are like trinkets of dew drops 
waiting for sunrise to wipe them dry 
others are like a cascading waterfall 
with never-ending drops rushing by 

~*~
At times they drop like wax from a candle 
leaving hardened tear stains upon my pillow 
every once in a while they fall to the ground 
like autumn leaves from a weeping willow 

~*~
Regularly they drizzle like April showers 
leaving streams of tear drops all around 
sometime they drop like petals of a rose 
each tear fall seamlessly without a sound 

~*~
Every so often, through frosty air 
falling teardrops, freeze to brittle 
others fall softly like snowflakes 
slowly melting away little by little 

~*~
Through my eyes tears have fallen 
all kind of teardrops, big and small 
I can not help but to contemplate; 
how many tears have yet to fall? 

~~*^*~~

Peek-a-boo, I see you, hiding behind that tree!




Winter sun teases 
hiding behind that bare tree 
. . . until Springtime breeze

There is so much I would like to do, to show how much I care. However, with limited resources it's sometimes difficult. But my strong beliefs in the goodness of human kind combined with my own and others faith and love there is always hope.  ALWAYS! 
I truly believe that. 



Jami Pereira
Jami Pereira has stage four Advanced Adeno carcinoma of both lungs. She has lost her job due to her disease, and has ran out of medical insurance. Jami has lived a life full of hardship and a long streak of pure bad luck. 

As a working woman and a mother of two children, she also cared for her mother battling breast cancer, only to be diagnosed herself, with stage four Advanced Adeno carcinoma, in both lungs. 


The doctors prognosis,  without treatments, Jami may have four to six months, maybe a little more, maybe a little less to live. Jami's only hope is to start treatments, and the treatments needs to start immediately.


This is Jami's own words. . ."I don't know if helping me "live" can make a difference in the "World" But it would give me, and a bunch of others a new outlook , to know that people actually do care. . . " 

I do not personally know Jami Pereira, but have friends who do. I have taken the liberty to post this blog post without Jami's knowledge. I hope she will approve of me doing so. 

I have faith in the goodness of human kind and for their love and compassion. So, I believe through your kind and loving hearts, there is HOPE for Jami to raise the money that's needed for her treatments. 

I have displayed Jami Pereira's books, that can be purchased at Amazon, here on the right. 

If you rather donor money, you can do it here: Cancer Care for Jami

If you do not have the resources, please just pray and keep her in your thoughts.  

Thank you and God Bless!

Jami, you are in my thoughts and prayers, 

Sannel

Wishes - Double Etheree Poem






~*~

soft 
snow-like 
puffs of seed 
trembles in wind 
while children in glee 
leapfrogging and dancing 
amid lush emerald green grass 
small fingers grasp gently white puffs 
close their eyes tight and begin to blow 
they wish for all the children to have love 
they wish for all the children to have food 
resembling white and fair angel wings 
with ease they go off in the wind 
flying through the azure sky 
'tween airy pillow clouds 
wishes on journey 
arrive at last 
in the safe 
arms of 
God

~*~

The Joy of Dandelions




Fallen stars 'tween emerald grass
dancing in rhythm to gentle breeze
sun kissed golden drops of honey
growing wild and free with such ease

Such splendor to be found in the field
treasured gems dipped in golden hue
spread freely through thousands of wishes
not quite dry from the morning dew

In the face of nature's majesty
sweet laughter echoes on sunny days
bouncing off nature's lap of beauty
as she graces us in her charming ways

Ephemeral flower in disguise
admired for its whimsical allure
so precious, playful and witty
unassuming and oh, so demure

Springtime flower of life and purpose
scatters silently its seeds in the breeze
some become playful children's wishes
others become future havens to bees

Haiga by Sannel - A Pond of Life





  
Calm, gentle ripples
in company of lily's
. . . ducks on a journey

Glistening rain drops
ethereal ornaments
. . .in the blush of dawn

Mercies in disguise - A Tanka Poem by Sannel






Delicate kisses



guided by the frigid breeze 



land upon my face. 



Endless blessings from the sky



flurried mercies in disguise.
