Love, Sorrow, Joy, Pain, Beauty, Loss, Peace, Hatred, Hope…
All a part of life’s grand design, and if you have felt them,
then you have lived life.

When there is one, there is always the other,
always a balance so to speak.

But what if, what if there was more,
love, joy, beauty, peace, hope…

I dream of that, although it is just a dream.
I still dream of it!
Deep in thoughts...

be free

life is more
than stoic

open all gates
let us enter

here we find
each others truth

freedom our dear selves
is a freedom shared

and freedom
only lives

dear sisters, brothers
because we choose it.

Life can give you lemons
Life can give you berries
Will you enjoy the bitter sweet taste?
Will you focus on the bitterness of the lemon ?
Or will you get lost in the sweetness of the berries ?
Well, it's a choice we make everyday
learning to enjoy the tasteful blend of sorrows and joys
Laughter and cries
Happiness and sadness
Whatever is served
We learn to make the best out of it and quench the thirst

I  stand tall,
Contorted,
But beautiful,
My shape weird,
But wise as an owl.
My limbs outstreched,
My roots deep,
I embrace the sky and the earth,
I have weathered many seasons,
For many reasons,
SPRING is my rebirth,
I bloom and bring  colour,
SUMMER I  am evergreen,
Give shade from the fiery sun,
AUTUMN I am dressed in a colourful gown,
Of gold, green, purple and brown,
Soon my leaves fall,
Dry and under people's feet they crackle.
WINTER I stand naked,
Snowflakes come to my aid,
They veil me from tip to toe,
A blanket of snow.
I am one of the ecosystem,
Life on earth with me rhyme and rhythm.

I got a package delivered to me at 12:00am
It's called Today
I opened it and
It's loaded with lots of new goodies
New motivation
New inspiration
New visions
New energy
New strategy
New beginning
New promises
New hopes
New strength
New ideas

Attached is a letter that reads:
These are goodies for Today
And not 2 days
Not yesterday and today
Not today and tomorrow
Take your package everywhere you go
And remember it expires 11:59PM today!
There is something about today, if not mixed with any other day!
You are an Over comer, even when you may not feel like one.
You are an Over comer even when everything seems stack against you.
You are an Over comer whom shall not quit till Christ has use you .
To Overcome and reveal our Lord to the world how powerful he is.
For to the world it takes great strength to overcome anything here.
And They enjoy the addictions way too much than to overcome them.
But a Child of God on the other hand wants to become a over comer.
I guess sometimes when lost people lives become unmanageable here.
That they too seek to become over-comers but most of them enjoy their sin .
Way too much to overcome the sin,. but through Christ they can overcome it.
All that you have to do is lay your life in his hands and trust in him now.
That He has a much bigger and better plan for you and your life here now.

Compared to most creatures,
Our life on Earth is long.
The question is will we
Live full and finish strong?

Love is Beautiful with the one you
share it with, it blooms with fragrance
blowing with the breeze.

No confusion, no bad thoughts
just sharing, understanding
unconditionally..

Love new, love fresh, feeling
of beauty surrounding soul
surrounding heart, sweet
embrace, passion of a million
flames.

Love never needs answers,
acceptance is their automatically
no words need to be spoken
no tension, just peace, tender
feelings captivating.

Love is beautiful with the right
one, it only grows and grows
no boundaries, just love, feeling
that endures all misery.

I will be strong
As a mountain
Unmovable
Untouchable.

I will have days
Where I will crumble
Erode on the surface
Fall into a landslide,
But my core will stand
Etched into the earth.

The strongest of storms
Of winds
Of rain
May leave scars and change my shape,
But they will not bring me to the ground.

When the earth rumbles and quakes,
You will see me peek above the clouds
Standing tall
And standing proud.
