Waving Goodbye

Waving Goodbye

Now I wave the year goodbye
Grieving for the its ending, it had many good memories in store
Indeed I will miss the opportunities that laid for me upon its pages
Still, I embrace the New Year with hesitant shyness
It seems the unknown is yet to befall on us
Across the horizons, one has to wish and look forward in living day by day
The future is unexpected, it not mine or for you to read
The ways of such path surely on its time will unfurl?
Beyond the certain pain that may pass on us -there is more wide surprises that put smile to us
I begin over this new year to list the simple things that brings joy to all of us..

I Remain

I Remain

I had a poem in my mind
I was to lazy to jotted down
Now I lost the poem that might had been a great masterpiece
No worries, I guess it was not good enough that is why it was forgotten
I think my heart needed the rest
Yet my brain is defying this command
It wants to push this soul to its highest limit
Creativity that arises on a greatest peak
Still I remain a weak human- being
Shattered between desire and weariness
I can not help being human
I’m full of faults- No matter how hard I try I don’t reach perfection
Thence till I die I can not fully retire
So I remain to fight my way through into what we all call life and internal battles

The Vision

The Vision

I call it living

Sometimes it is not an easy path

Yet somehow I could feel God's grace lighting up my journey

Each day I pray that His mercy to sprinkle towards me

Just a little to permit me in giving back, even if it's little

As His Blessings towards me are enormous

Praying hard that I retain my humbleness so I won't loose this vision

Discard the Cold

Discard the Cold

At times the weather keeps reflecting on me
Touching me in an expected ways
As the desert winter floats towards my way
It leaves certain frost in my heart
Numbness that spreads beyond my hands and feet
No matter how much warmth exposed to me
Whisking the cold in me, it takes a long time
I need a real fire to discard the cold

A helpless human being

A helpless human being

So it seems my main quest is life and beyond where it leads. ...
Somehow my quest of life it is all connected to a window within myself...
I’m on the journey of finding my inner self…..
It does not take days or months but a life time to uncover what is behind the scenes of the window…
Sometimes gazing blindly into the unpredictable until when it happens that is when the picture is clear...
I surrender to Almighty God and fate –the upper hand for taking the reins of life….
I pray for God’s kindness as I put my whole trust on him…
I stand upon this quest a helpless human being…

Quest of life

Quest of life
We are walking on it so blind
Curves of fate controls the ride
