There is a
reach of grassland
in the distance.
Here everything happens,
just for you.
Each moment the
glorious treasures
in the universe
reassures the heart
of the promise
of each day.
Together with all
creatures of the
earth breathes,
same air and
drinks same water,
as life giving force.
What a beautiful
sequence of love
in sharing.
We become food
for each other
Give and take
sustained us.
Out of Eden,
man tilled the ground,
toiled for food,
sweats in his garden.
Outside of Eden,
man struggles
to survive.
Our health failed,
none eats right.
Death is upon us,
for there is
no peace,
man made wars
ravaged the cities,
age of reason,
eludes man.
But now,
man must recover
the paradise lost.
Back to Eden
we must go,
to restore the
lost glory,
for man now
lives in a
faulty state.
The whole system
is deplorable and
apparently appalling.
To rebuild the
failed relationship of
pure and divine
love once again,
man must toil
once again to
recover Eden,
for this paradise
is not lost
after all.

I want you
to love me loudly,
but no,
am not insecure
if you really
want to know.
Show yourself,
let me see
your heart.
Announce me
to the world.
But i learned
not to force anything,
conversations,
friendships,
relationships
attention,
and love.
Anything forced is
not just worth
fighting for,
whatever flows flows,
whatever crashes crashes.
It is what it is.
If you have
to leave anytime,
that is your choice
but letting you
walk away,
that will be
my choice.

Listen,
and be warned,
you that is
full of drama
and doubts ravaging
your sense of self.
How can you be,
when you cannot
find your true
self within you.
You can never
discover outside
yourself all that
which is
not within you.
Everything you
are required to
have is inside you.
If the things
important have no
value to you,
how then can
you find the
beauty outside
of you.
Gems are buried
within you.
You are the
mine that has
never been explored.
You are like
a fertile ground
not cultivated.
All your potentials
are hidden within.
Know your value
and your beauty
and your essence.
Appreciate all of
whatever you are.
Know yourself,
your world and
your God.

Get up and
step out of
the mud in
a hole without
ever dyeing.
Licking the soup
and dining with
the ***** devil,
not that sinner
the demon is
like fire in
a hole.
Your demise
means nothing
when you
die unworthily.  
You have no
place among
the dead.
The prisoner in
******* in a
hole needs to
get out before
the fire starts
burning in the hole.
When deafness
is not among
your many failings.
It's not your
fault and not
your problem
for you can't
change anything
but to allow
the natural cycle
to run its course.
Earthquakes and
cyclones even tempests
are all temporary
but with a
devastating impact.
Everything is like that.
We shed what
is not necessary
and needed and
reshuffle our existence
through wars
where people die
yet allowing others
to still live.
It's just like that.
Take it.
Most of the
stupidiotic things
we have said
and done
are unnecessary.

Beyond this
gate of death
is another life
quite unknown.
Beyond everything
that we do
or acquired,
there is no
longer true heartfelt
desired satisfaction
when the goal
is reached.
Out of all
our painful struggles
disturbing thoughts and
concerns with
sleepless nights,
nothing is really
gained but memories
that will soon
disappear and
remembered no more.
Is it really
truly worth it,
the many greedy
things that made
you think that
your brothers and
relatives and friends
were your enemies
because you wanted
what doesn't
belong to you,
something you will
probably never see
again and will finally
leave behind and
sold out by
the ones you
tried to please.
All my ancestors
prowess and victories,
and lands left
behind are sold out
and no longer valid
and valued.
Should I really
continue in my
struggles to amass
the things that
will someday in
the near future
be discarded.
What now are
the essence of
all these struggles
that has induced
health challenges.
Is it not
better and beneficial
to invest more
within my spirit
where the true
treasures are built.
All what I've
acquired has turned
around against me,
to destroyed me
without having the
chance to enjoy it.

Dream of flowers,
and magic of the
chandler light,
full of love and
and vitality,
caused by early
morning dew.
Charmed the heart
to prepare for
the evening pomp.
Feelings of warm
cozy embrace,
in spring evening.
Waiting for dinner
to be served.
Tonight is one
of many of
those unforgettable
beautiful moments.
Smiles and giggles,
mixed with the
clinks of wine glasses.
Soft music allures
the heart to
amorous mood.
Lovely special
evening outing,
never to forget.
Looks like I'm
charmed tonight.
But I'm liking it.
So come along,
let's explore this
charming evening
together.

In the vast
strange funny world,
guess who i
met with.
The stars and
the clouds,
they were
following me
around everywhere
and anywhere,
as if spying
on me and
at the same
time guiding me.
I am the
imperfect stranger
and i just
wondered how
much i'm loved
by this power
stronger than me.
My vulnerability
they sense from afar.
With my follies,
how come
i'm still standing,
without being
struck down by
their wrath.
I must be
important that
they are indeed
mindful of me.
Peeping through
the shadows
of the trees,
they all listen
to the silence
of my thoughts.
Even the tree
i leaned on
whispers into
my ears the
things i should do.
All warning me
that i have go
because of the
dark hours
coming soon.
When the night
creatures come
out to hunt.
Forbid it i
should become food
for the one
stronger than me.
I sauntered away
towards the safety
of my home.
