Count to ten!

(By: Karla Happy Birthday to my brother, Gregg on Nov. 4th)

You taught us all to
Smile when you want to cry.
Think of others when you're down.
Can't make things better
With a wire-ly frown.

What good is life
That sees only strife?
What hope will grow,
If all we do is mope?

The best rule is to care
And to listen. List Ten!

So when I'm down
I count to ten,
and see solutions
Like in a decagono!

With me (and siblings)...
We are a list of ten vástago!

A poem from the "Kar" "Nada" to celebrate the Pope's visit!

(Por: Karla)

Es que estoy llena de poesías,
A pesar de las penas, alegría...

Esperanzas que van más allá
Y ven toda la eternidad.

Un vaso que rebosa,
Un plato que repite,
Canción con timbre,
Un corazón que late.

Eterna vision.
Historia, presente,
Y futuro .

Fuente de la vida!

A poem for you today!

 TINKLE

(By: Karla Wagener)

It turned my world around
It did me in
And there was no sin
That couldn't be forgiven.

We walked past
Where angels feared to tread
And we learned to
love instead.

The past mixed with present
And with future;
We all become one,
A pretty picture, so fun!

Past limits, past space,
Promises of old...
What is time?
The tinkle of a chime.

When will we learn?
What good is so much cash,
When it's all over in a flash?

Fill the pain with music!
Forgiveness and togetherness
is the greatest gain.

What is time?
The tinkle of a chime!

This Apostle Iris bloomed this morning! 

The flower only lasts one day!

Searching for perfect words,

To say such perfect things.

Lost in thought

Lost life,

Bringing forth angels and such,

Sometimes words are

Just too much.

What's left to say

Goes deeper yet...

Searching for perfect love,

Angels sighing high above.

Perfect is for angels,

For humans we have love

From the files in my memories!

(By: Karla, escrito el
15 de octubre, 1995,
Día de la madre ese año).

Algo que roza
Rosa que te ama,
Tumbarte en tambores
De amor y felicidad.

Algo que te mueve,
Tranquilizar y siembre,
Algo que te toca siempre
Y te roza.

Una rosa sola
Que toca tu memoria,
Y no te deja, ni pensar.

Y envolverte en laureles
Para moverte en tus sueños, 

Que se juntan con lost nuestros,

Y el sueño se torna
Realidad.

"Whatever's in your heart..."

 MY HEART

(By: Karla, I wrote this poem in October, on the 16th, 2002. My daughter's birthday is on October 16. I only realized recently that I wrote it on her birthday when I remembered it and took it out of my files!).

• Psalm 45: "My Heart"

How do Angels love,
My Lord?
How do they live?
Do they always give?

How do Angels fly,
My Lord?
Do they ever lie?
When do they sleep?
What goods do they need or keep?

Can Angels live
Within a Human Heart?
Could you put a spark
Of that love in me
To add heat and help me
Continue this new start?

If I perchance have a bit
Of Angel within to see,
Can you please forgive
The weak and human part
That in it's frailty loves so much,
Yet is the most of me?

How can we live well in union
Without Angels to show -
Upon us His love to bestow?

This is the question of my life,
The journey, searching,
Peregrination of my toil:
That somehow, some place
Exists the Lot of Land
Where childhood promises will grow out of that soil.

...And yet the Moon
Through this darkness
Sheds her pearly glimmerings 
Upon your sea-ly observing glaze.

No, no, I can move
To no other site.
Every weak part of me,
(Yeah even that part of me
That is still to come),
Directs itself towards
My real home,
This cross of Light!

"It's a long, long road"!

 ETERNITY

    "Whatever's written
      in your heart,
      that's all that matters.
      You'll find a way
      to say it all... some day".
            Song by: Gerry Rafferty

(By: Karla)

People ask me about
Eternity.
One once said that
I know a lot about it.
At that time
I didn't have clear
What to say.

My daughter asked
If marriage should be
For life.
I told her I believe
In eternity
And she said in a
Joking manner,
"whoa, with this",
And pointed to my partner, Pascual.

She asked me about eternity
And I said, "I need some time
To find the words
To talk about this
And that I wanted her
To be curious about it".

Pascual, the name for Easter.
The belief in renewal,
A new earth and sky,
Resurrection, a new being,
Celestial body...

In a homily
Many years' ago
The priest, Daniel,
In a visit to Santísima Cruz,
Asked something like,
"who knows why one
Endures so much"?

I felt like I understood,
I felt deeply thing'sd get better,
Only in unity and coexistence
will we survive, realize rebirth.

And eventually in life
It has paid off...

Believing in eternity,

So I feel and think,
Yes, it is written in the heart.

Rewards beyond imagination ...

And a reason
To trust.
