HAPPY NEW YEAR

*

 

*

if we look back on our life,
we see pain,
mistakes,
and
disappointments.

but wait a minute

just see in the mirror,
there is strength,
learned lessons,
and
pride in our self

keep looking ahead
and believe
that tomorrow is a promise

*

Dear past,
thank you for your lessons.
Dear future.
I am ready.
Dear God.
thank you for another year.

before I say “Amen”

*

*

I once drank the wine of  bitter life
which slammed this soul into the aisle of emptyness
all seems so unfair
the road ahead seems endless
and sometime the dream so far away
but when I almost surrender
I stop and remember
the endless love that freely given
so that I could survive until this moment
and never forget the harsh lessons in my life
it make me stronger
before I say ‘Amen
I’ll also pray for the people
who is reading this
shall have the comfort, peace and love
I may not know their troubles
but God…., You do
give them the strength as given to me
keep them safe from worldly temptations of this winding life
and arrived safe in Your kingdom of love
Thank you God
Amen!

Loss

What does love look like?

*

It has the hands to help others.

It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see misery and want.

It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.

That is what love looks like.

 – Saint Augustine –

to my friends

for you is a dream

big enough to capture your heart

bright enough to illuminate your mind

deep enough to satisfy your spirit

May you find the strength to pursue it

and be enriched by it across the years

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

the sea of life

a big wave could come

push even dropped me

but

sometimes only a minor blow

between my legs

and  I say to my self;

“This is the beauty of sailing on the sea of life”

It doesn’t matter
how big your trial is,
what’s really matter is
the presence of sincerity

in God’s eyes

to me the moon smiles
I’m wondering
does it also smile at you?

to me the star glanced coquettishly
I’m wondering
does it also glance at you?

we were in different places
and separated by distance
are we different?

I guess “not”
though you were in West and I am in the East
though you were white and I am black
we were have the same blood
and it’s red

even if you’re smart and I’m stupid
we will always have the same rights
in the eyes of God
we were equal

they say life is a stage

that played the story about life

God is the director

and

I am the actor

but

the script had yet received

so I do not know what my role is

they say;

the story has been compiled

and …. I need no script

just act till the drama ended

how is the end of the story?

they say … they did not know

then I play the role

as the will of the Supreme Director

rolling willingly like stone

flowing sincere like river

follow the stories that been compiled

ended without known

This quote is one of my favorite collection.

Beauty is before me and behind me above me and below me

Hovers the beauty I am surrounded by it,

I am immersed in it, … in my youth

I am aware of it, and in old age I shall walk quietly the beautiful trail.

In beauty is begun in beauty is ended.

Blessed to weird people

in my shortcomings

gave birth to you was beauty

raising you was my liability

leading you is my duty

loving you is a loveliest pleasure

your hopes are my prayer

your struggle is my pain

your tears is my anguish

your wound is my suffering

in your dark I will be the eyes

in the drought I will become the rain

in the storm I will become the shelter

in your battle I will be the shield

for you …. I willingly sacrifice

for you …. my love is unconditional

because of you….. my breath has meaning

Dedicated to  my beloved sons Romeza, Rolanzi and Ronizar
with all the shortcomings I will always try to give my best …

With  all my love,

When you help someone who is lost and confused;

When you hold someone who is sad and grieving;

When you hug someone who is unhappy and hopeless;

You too will feel healed and whole.

he has been hurt

he has been hurt
pierced by the thorns of love
stand among bitterness

he has been hurt
crying and screaming
without sound

he has been hurt
his blood infused by the love’s poison
lethal a half of his soul

he has been hurt
asked me to remove the toxins from the blood
with a passion of hope

he has been hurt
by my love

the same old song

the expectations moving

the dream squirmed

the passion raised

the tired of hiding

dragged her to stand up against the storm

but the heart was not strong enough

to raced with the past

the cloud came back

in blackish gray

the lightning strikes

throw her back

to the place where she ever been hiding

to heard the same old song

in different lyrics

ooo

evidence of presence

silence be the friend

darkness be the home

in the ground …. be fused

evidence of presence?

the tombstones

Will you help me?

please…..

bring me the messy grain of affection

to be arranged as it should be

do not let it rolled under the foot

so as not to be trampled by the anger

please…..

bring me the broken pieces of brotherhood

to be arranged as it should be

do not be left scattered and crushed

by hatred and selfishness

I had tried so hard to re-arrange it

but too large and complicated

Will you help me ….. my friend?

live in the cup of death, dead in the cup of life.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH.

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport
as the daughter’s departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged
and the mother said: “I love you and I wish you enough.”

The daughter replied, “Mom, our life together has been more than enough.
Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom.”
They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walked over to the window where I sat.
Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.

I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking,
“Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?”

“I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip
back will be for my funeral,” she said.

When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, “I wish you enough.
” May I ask what that means?”

She began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations.
My parents used to say it to everyone.”
She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in
detail and she smiled even more.

“When we said ‘I wish you enough’ we were wanting the other person to have
a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them”.
Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,

“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.”

She then began to cry and walked away.

***

They say…., it takes
a minute to find a special person.
an hour to appreciate them.
a day to love them.
and an entire life to forget them.

the old motorbike (along the memory lane)

mute committment

 

there will always be more.

it is better to light candles
than to curse the darkness.

it is better to plant seeds
than to accuse the earth.

the world needs all of our power and love and energy,
and each of us has something that we can give.

the trick is to find it and use it,
to find it and give it away.

there will always be more.

we can be lights for each other,
and through each other’s illumination
we will see the way.

each of us is a seed,
a silent promise,
and it is always spring.
