The Second Millennium
(I wrote this poem in December 1999)

by Gigi Krop

As we await this special day,

We fret and worry about Y2K.

Two thousand years of modern history,

Won’t tell us what the future will be.

Open your eyes and try to see,

There’s more than just you and me.

People can rise to a greater height

Open their eyes to deeper insight.

Learn the difference between wrong and right.

We dream about memories of yesterday

And live our lives the same old way.

For peace and love the Messiah awaits

While the techies worship famous Bill Gates.

As the clock strikes midnight

at the rising of the first light

The Millennium is finally here.

“So what” replied the wise old seer,

The day of technology is here

and that is our greatest fear.

And what about 2001?

Will it bring the holy one?

Or just another day, another year,

The shedding of the eternal tear.

For the loss of our sanity

The ignorance of humanity.

Just another millennium gone by

ponders the Messiah with a sigh.

Another World

by Gigi Krop

'O great winged unicorn
take me for a ride
fly me to another realm.

The world beyond, where
             the stars of the constellations
      come alive and the
       gods and goddesses reign,
          where the great mysteries of
       life are revealed.

Fly great Pegasus
          leap over the rainbow
        to the other side -
     beyond the flaws of humanity
       beyond selfishness and greed,

to another world
where the truth is clear
and confusion is conquered.

let the stars of the constellations
shine in my eyes,

the rainbow of truth form an
aura around my third eye,
and the purity of space
cleans my soul.

O' great winged unicorn
take
me for a ride and
fly me to Another World.

The Threshold
by Gigi Krop

a deep resounding voice
calls from within

a soft hand reaches out
and touches a heart

melancholy brown eyes see
Truth within the soul

the fantasies take wing and
thoughts travel through time

patterns of reality become
scattered

while new images take form
you have tread upon
the threshold of fantasy.

People Are Like Diamonds

by Gigi Krop

People are like Diamonds,

they have many facets

and great depth.

They reflect light and

produce all the colors

in the rainbow;

They are very precious

and take a special

feat of nature.

Each facet is unique

unto itself, each has

a special beauty.

People are like Diamonds,

they are not perfect

most have flaws.

It is possible to ignore

the beauty and see

only the flaws;

overlook the brilliance

and the inner light,

forget the symmetrical

design so simple and yet complex.

People are like diamonds

concentrate on the beauty

overlook the

Flaws.
