Colicky baby crying,
calling out to
mother for help,
to do something.
With magical voice,
mother soothes,
swaddle baby with
hands of love.
Rocks baby with
songs so sweet,
to quiet with
lullaby to sleep.
With hands so
gentle mother
massages to calm
the wild cry.
Baby is so
blessed to have
a face with
heavenly smile,
a voice so
soothing and calm,
to tackle the
colicky troubles,
like a lemon balm
to cast away
the cry of pain
with a drop
of ginger in water.
Mother knows that
the colicky cry
all the time
means trouble
for baby.
Thank you
Angel mother
for being here
for baby when
you are needed.

Beautiful night,
vivid with magical
clear full moon
hanging in the
dark night up
in the sky.
It brings thoughts
of restlessness
as if you
want to explore
the galaxy
all by yourself.
Beautiful as it may,
calm and quiet
with sounds of
the deep silence
of the earth
talking to your soul.
The heart is
so at ease
and peaceful.
All around you
are not going
to be the same
as time alone
with nature nurtures
and engulf your
being with the
power of love.
With your soul
you feel the light,
even when your
eyes only
see darkness.
The soul opens
up like the
rose flower that
unfolds itself as
it blooms and
blossom to share
it's fragrance
to cheer the
brokenness of the heart.
Washed by its
purity and adorned
by its pureness
the heart is
renewed and regenerated
with bliss.

The strange dilemma
of this day
makes me feel
really so sad.
It feels so
weird to be
touched by these
rottenness from the
heart of the
ones who suppose
to have goodness
in them.
Hardened and shut
down their hearts
and drove away
the Holy Spirit
that supposed to
dwell therein
I am so wired
right now
to really get
off my rocker.
Endurance and patience
eludes me
for my heart
is really broken.
How can all
this be happening
and everyone is
alright with it.  
It is not right.
I am not
alright with it.
You have all
that is required
to do better.
Harness and stop
the beast immerging
from inside you.
You are not
a beast but
a divine being.
Is there no
bowel of mercy
within you.
Look at what
your irrational and
unrealistic unreasonable
behavior has cost us.
Change your acts
and attitude
for the glory
of God and the
benefit of mankind.

Any animal in
the forest that
suddenly decides
to develope and
grows a horn
just because of me,
will definitely finds
out that it's
horn will eventually
be used as a cup
to drink wine.
I am like
the praying mantis
that dances
before it kills.
Calm and calculative,
focused and thoughtful,
tactful and mindful,
meditative and intuitive.
But can also
be dangerous for
the praying mantis kills.
The dance steps
and movements
are hypnotic and
mesmerizing.
A little mistake
can drastically cause
you your joy
and happiness,
even your life
and be the
little storm that
turns into a
big deal that
can mess up
your life.
It's like the
***** and the
excrete of the
mythical animal
set as a bait
to catch it's prey.
But what does
it all mean.
Don't mess up
what is so
important to you
just because you
are a little
unsure of who
you are.

Absolutely no-thing,
people, places, experiences
is responsible for
my happiness,freedom
and peace within me.
If you need
to swear before
people believe you,
you lack integrity.
and have no dignity.
Salt maintains its
integrity amidst pollution.
Have you seen
where a salt
buyer demands to
taste it before buying,
no,because salt
has proved its
integrity over the time.
You don't need
to shout for
you to be heard.
People keep quiet
to listen to
intelligent people.
You can because
you matter.
It is clear
that the desire
and the ardor
here do not
do nothing.
No one can
tell you what
brings to the energy,
the flamboyance and
the manifestation
of the spirit,  
except the only
one who has
supernaturally received
the gift of
seeing it and of it.

Last night was
the last date
of the year.
Today is a
perfect morning and
a good time
for celebrations.
The dawn of
a new year
just emerged.
This is a time to
count our blessings
and give thanks
with a grateful heart.
Good time for reflection.
Looking back at
the achievements,
failure and success,
strength and support
which built our
families and relationships,
businesses and lives.
The time to
drop excess
baggage and luggage
we have carried
throughout the year.
Time to rewrite
the blueprint on
the canvas of life,
set up a
new roadmap,
and have new
goals and aspirations.
A time to
discard the old
and embrace the new.
Time to be
courageous and bold
enough to take
a stand on
new belief system
and embrace a
new hobby and
new arrangements
and another chance
of new beginnings.
To look at
things a little
bit more different
with profound
understanding of the
principle back of things.
Step into this
new phase of
the new year,
the new dawn,
the new beginning
of another chance
to be better
with a grateful heart
and so much love
to be the best
that you can be.
