Beauty is in diversity
Diversity is a challenge
And so is beauty
The golden plains of wheat crop
Shimmer and glitter in the sun
Rays of sunlight expose
The intricate charm of farm upon farm
With huts in between
Farmers dwelling with
Pride and amour-propre
Maidens singing songs of delectation
They wait with baited breath
They reap the benefits of their pains
Ah! They know
Know the beauty of hard work
But in the high mountains
The trees are covered in white
No not snow but flowers
White flowers of the apple tree
White flowers of the apricot tree
Blooming and blossoming
They exude such delicate beauty
A beauty that enchants the mind
And makes one forget the world
Ah! But so many are not aware
Not aware that a simple scent
Can mesmerize the human heart
How one wonders at the marvel of nature!

What is Fate?
But a deck of cards laid out
And toyed with by the Hand Divine,
A play of lives and fortune
A play of virtue and sin
A game of wine and milk
A season of sun and rain
A mystery of love and pain.
What is Fate?
But the blowing of the winds and
Rustling of the leaves
A gift of sons and daughters
Of wives and husbands
A play of water and fire
Of disease and health.
What is Fate?
But the reminiscence of tears and laughter,
Of glory and dirt
Of home and heaven
Of death and hell
What is Fate?
But a deck of cards laid out
And toyed with by the Hand Divine.

Beggar and Bowl
I beg for love
Have mercy
I am empty
I shake my wooden bowl
Have mercy.
Baggar and Bowl
I beg for love
Look what the world made me
A ragged taggered toothless man
Soulless and Loveless
He weeps for love
Give him a kiss
Give him a hug
He is alone.
Beggar and Bowl
I beg for love.
