The things you
see are not
exactly the
way they are.
You are far
away from the
hustle and bustle
of the world,
let the heart back
to the memory
of the deepest.
You can feel
it's heat in
far away places
and look at
the flames
around it as if
to melt you.
If u don't heal
what hurts you,
you will bleed
on people who
didn't cut you.
There are so
many beautiful things
inside the ocean
creating beauty if
you can view it.
Beautiful sunrise is
the moment when
everything is about
to put on color.

Man is like
a pebble flowing
on the sea.
Without knowing
whither it goes,
but though not lost.
Like a pinch
of salt in
an ocean that
satisfied not
the water.
Like a long
breathe of air
that can't stay
or contained
in the lungs
for long
but easily dissipates.
Life is
like a dream,
and like a
beautiful song that
suddenly ends.
Again how can
anyone know destiny,
who can stop
the sea change.
No one can
surely go back
to yesterday.
Don't know if
I'm sleeping
or awake.
I still don't
know if the
life I'm living
while awake and
the one i
live while asleep,
which one is real.
Because most
of the things
I've seen and
encountered
while awake is
like nightmares.
Horrendous experiences
occur while awake.
Maybe life is
much better when
you sleep.

How can I
shelter myself
from the madness
of this world.
I live really
quietly here
in this place.
No noise
but calmness from
the silence and
stillness of the forest.
I am happy.
Here I have
everything I need.
There are
abundance of
various fruits,
herbs to take
care of my health,
water unpolluted.
It's time to
spend time
with myself,
enjoy the serenity
of the spirit,
give myself time
to relax and feel
the subtle energy
of love within
and all around me.
Never really bother
about anything,
and allow my
consciousness to attune
to my spirit
when it's ready.
Take a long
walk alone at
beach and around
nature.
Just enjoy the
calmness of the moment.
But inwardly listen
with effortless effort
to the rhythm
and heart beat
of the ecosystem,
the forest and
the circles in nature.

Those who
have encountered
the fury of
nature's spirit
when messed with
will testify to
the wrath of
it's actions.
Unforgiving it may
seem but it's
law of justice
is strikingly strict.
When you
encounter the
volcano or have
a stand off
with cyclone or
a rub off
with an earthquake
or even the tempest,
or a visit by
the tsunami or
even watch
from a distance,
you will understand
without much
explanation
about the fury
of nature's spirit.
You will assume
for a moment
that God has
no love for you.
But within that
unimaginably
unbearable
catastrophe is
so much love hidden.
He will still
show mercy.
His kindness,
he extends.
His benevolence
still comforts.
He unwittingly
forces others
to reach out
to help and relate.

It's not in me,
neither is it
in your configuration
and make up
to live in
another's skin.
In poise,
you cannot stand
for me.
You definitely,
cannot breathe
for me,
or think for me.
It baffles me,
how you
suddenly became,
the director
of my life,
when you can't
manage yourself.
I will have
to decline
your offer,
and say no
to you.
My path is mine
and mine alone.
Let me discover
it's valley's and
creeks and fountains.
Allow me to
follow this ancient
path to climb
my mountain.
Everyone must follow
their own path
to this ancient
ancestral territory.
The soul in
your tabernacle must
go through the
rigours alone.
It must be
purified by this
sacred fire burning
in my soul to
be pure.
Don't interfere with
the divine helpful
abilities to ennoble
me to become.
I am always
becoming that thing,
which I am.

From my eyes,
you will see
the way my
heart feels
for you and
how much i
miss you.
There,
the tears of
love freely flows
like the stream
down my cheeks.
My face stained
of tears,
tells the tale of
how much all
these made
me feel.
From my shaky
strained voice,
you already
knew how much
I've cried.
But you'll never
see how my
heart really hurts.
The pain of
the brokenness is
what keeps
my heart awake
at night.
The thoughts of
you kills my joy
and rob me
of peaceful sleep.
This restlessness
makes me feel
like drinking tequila
tonight.
But I'll wait
awhile to see
if the humming birds
will bring the
news of you
in the morning.
This moment,
the road is
still empty of the
sight of you
as I watch.
Even now i
can't see the
dust on the road
rising to tell
me that you
are close by.
I will just
sit out here
tonight and watch
the moon and
count the stars
until the morning
greets me with
the songs of
the birds.

Like the one
submerged in the
cool river after
a long day
to cool off
and calm down,
so is the
harassed heart
soaked in bliss
after a quiet
time and aloneness
with the divine.
Refreshment of the
whole being relieves
the harsh burden
of the heart.
It regenerates the
soul in need
of solace.
Nothing can bring
succor to comfort
a heart in
distress than a
touch of love.
A heart filled
with joyful tenderness
can heal the
sorest wound,
and illuminate the
darkest places.
Even the underwater
cave rejoices in
it's tiniest flicker
of flame.
