This flitting time,
does it actually
really exist
at all as
we know it.
Time is an illusion.
It keeps moving,
without waiting for
anyone.
It is a
respecter of none.
This time used
it's power of
cunning craftiness
and deceived me
because i couldn't
cope with it's
illusory speed,
no one could.
I feel so defeated.
I can't catch up
with this illusion
of time magic.  
The past,present
and the future,
all exists at once
now at this moment.
Depending on
where you are
in your
consciousness.
You can be
anywhere in a
twinkle of a
moment with your
eyes closed.
Traveling to other
places takes you
to other different
time zones,
ahead of you
or still behind.
That place which
you have have been,
now is already
in the past.
Whatever plans you
conceive in your
mind or think
to do now is
in your future.
The things already
done are in
your past and
these can also
be remembered or
momentarily forgotten.
There is only
one absolute present.
The illusion of time
are crafted by
our memories.
This time travels
moves me as
fast as light.
But i live in
the present moment.

There is definitely
different shades
of green.
Beautiful and
colorful.
It reminds one
of healing.
The green in
the summer.
The lush green
vegetation,
let us see
the strong life.
Like the mingle
and merging
of the chameleon
on a greenish
vegetation.
It's colour change
made it disappear.
The dodging is
so magical,
wonderful and
amazingly thrilling.
Nothing like it
is ever seen.
Nature at its finest.
So captivating and
breathtaking.
How did that
happen,
i really can't tell.
Wishing i can
disappear like that
for a moment
into the oblivion,
just to know
what lies beyond
the other sphere.
The realm of
the unknown will
then become known.
That which is
not revealed yet
will then be
made manifest.
Some day the
night will suddenly
turn into day
and all those
creepy night crawlers
will be seen.
Remember nothing
soever is hidden,
absolutely nothing.
All will come
to light in due time.

Is this Deja Vu,
seems so strange
but so familiar.
With an uncanny
feeling like it
has happened before.
Is this just
a glimpse into
the past.
Seemed so weird,
with a feeling
so wired.
Like those
mornings when
the sun shines
so brightly but
the dark still
looms in the corner,
when gloom like
an umbrella hovered
and towered overhead,
like the cobwebs
that scattered
over the ceiling
of an abandoned
old hut,
guilt hung over
the feelings.
The head looks
down in shame,
disgraced as if
the face is
really messed up
with excreta.
I patiently watched
as they tried
so hard to
redeem themselves.
But nature was
so adamant to
respond favorably,
for their past
crimes are irredeemable.
Karma now knocks
on the door.
The reaper is
harvesting his wages.
He is not
looking at faces,
neither is he
a respecter of
class and status.
What they sowed,
they now reap.

Royalty and
princely.
Rivalry and love.
Humility and
humbleness.
Fruitfulness and
productivity.
Beautiful beginnings
and achievements.
Countless glory,
rise and fall.
Fear and
bravery.
Apprehension
and failure.
That's the story
of my greatness.
All manifest itself
in my life.
Today i stand
in that place
where yesterday
when i contemplate
the dark periods,
my eyes could
scarcely see.
Humbled by
long suffering,
with my back bent.
I summoned
the inner strength
to conquer the
insurmountable
harrowing and
painful experiences
which my mouth
could never express,
or even explain,
that infested my life.
It was not
all that rosy.
But today,
I'm still here,
I'm still right
here standing.

Without a good
game master plan,
you can't win
the game in
the world of
actuality and
competition.
Just as the lion
is the king
of the forest,
so is the
eagle the king
of birds.
If you live
with regrets
of yesterday.
You will have
no today to
be thankful for.
A vision without
execution is a
dream that can
die within.
May we all
bring our dreams
into reality.
Light is contained
and always hidden
within the darkness.
It takes a
little bit of
darkness to see
the glitter of
the stars.
Even in the
brightness of
the daylight,
the stars are
always there.
All true gems
are hidden within
the depths of
darkness.
It takes certain
light to make
it shine.
Never mind,
there is always
light in the tunnel.
Your gem
shines within.

As the gathering
of penguins by
the ocean side,
pestering the fishes
and fending for
themselves,
but also unwittingly
exposed as a
prey for others.
So are the
oppressors among
the people ravaging
and causing havoc
without knowing
they too exposed
themselves as a
mark to be
targeted when the
time is ripe.
The seagull calls,
warned of serious
impending danger.
But none listens,
for deafness is
one of their
many failings.
Among the creatures
of the earth,
man is the
only one so
very destructive.
So oppressive to
each other and
trying to see
how far he
can get with
his ability to
dare to do.
Not knowing that,
him too will
be in distress
and so devastated
and disadvantaged.
Would he had
known all of these,
none of these
countless dis-ease
would visit to
ravage him.

A solemn peep
into the crack
beyond this realm
is not that
complex but it
ushers the best
into your
consciousness.
Trust the beauty
within
your own Universe,
not everyone
has the same
magical tapestry
of stars,
mystically aligned
to keep you company.
Athena is patiently
waiting for you
to pay attention
so you can
learn your new lesson.
Thoughts are electric,
feelings are magnetic.
Together they create
electromagnetic field
that attracts all
things to you.
Detach yourself
from frivolities
so your ego
will not stand
in your way
to cause your
weakness and
unhappiness.
Inner strength is
given to only
those whose sole
desire is to
conquer themselves.
