What shape this heart of discontent
Enlarged and scarred from battles drawn
Yet small and quiet as the grave
In silent hours before the dawn.
It beats within a crooked chest
It's keeps it's time with breath, forlorn
and promises with certain fate
It will be still one quiet morn.
I have recently been diagnosed with heart failure, so I think about my heart a lot nowadays.
See the world
Feel the rhythm of its heart
See the people
Capture the vision here at the start

Open your eyes
Begin anew
Open your mind to the world
Created for you.

Explore the wide open beauty
Understand the intricate design
Breathe in the wide open air
Soak in the glory, sublime.

It's all around
The magnificence,
A whole world to be found
Creator's benevolence abound

Draw away from a society that held you down
Take stock of the aesthetic
Creations crown.

What the mountains could never compare
Let the heavens declare
For Him to whom all things are for
Let the oceans roar

From heaven's glorious heart
Comes fourth abounding creation
From nothing
Life, bursting into existence

Like never before
See a world as it was created to be
Every created creature and being,
Drawing breath from He:

Who cares for the little ones,
Who calls us daughters and sons
Who knows the intricate parts of all things,
And holds no reserve for the Joy He brings

Who controls and protects,
Who governs the systems of the galaxies
Who cares for each and for all,
Never once letting one fall.

He is Jehovah
He is Yaweh
The Creator God
The Maker, the Potter,
the great Designer

This is the world we know
He is the God who made us
This is the world He created
For us to enjoy
For glory to be His

Praise His name you peoples
Praise His name
For His Creation is truly wonderous
His works indeed are good
His abounding love patchworked,
Into the very frame of His creation.

He is a God who creates
Who expands imagination and design
What eye has seen
What witness has beheld
The glorious wonders,
The magnitude of His full creation.

This is the world we know
And all of creation will show
His greatness intertwined
In every thing He designed  

Glory in the Highest,
The Creator and maker of all things.
Yes and Amen,
The Angels roar
Yes and Amen,
His mountains proclaim.
Yes and Amen to Christ the Lord
To Him through which all things are sustained.
Yes and Amen.

Kung nangangarap ang mga anino
Nais ba nilang makamit ang anyo ng kanilang sinusundan?
Nais ba nilang magkaroon ng sarili nilang anyo?
O sinukuan na ba nila ang pangangarap,
Dahil wala nang pag-asang magbago
Kung ikaw ay isinilang na anino?

//

If shadows could dream,
Do they wish to become that which they follow?
Do they wish to have a form all their own?
Or have they given up on dreams,
Because there is no hope of change
For one who was born a shadow?

Face down and alone
In your crystal palace
Cheek pressed against glass
Cracks on ev'ry surface

Fear taking your breath
With each passing moment
The cold hand of death
Closing around your neck

"Is this the end, then?"
The question left hanging
Your wild beating heart
Slowly going silent

The stars disappear
Night reaches its blackest
Then glorious light
Comes piercing the darkness
Her eyes could light up a room with a simple look.
Her heart, oh it shined like a thousand suns.
The energy that came out from her, the purest feeling I've ever experienced.
Even at distance I could feel the warmth of her soul whenever she spoke those beautiful words.

Her ability to make me smile, even at the darkest hours,
her softness when it came at those sensitive subjects,
her cheerful attitude,
her knowledge and wisdom,
her positive views, even when she's falling apart.

A wonderful soul,
an unique living being,
her sole presence in this world makes it a better place to be in.

And I wouldn't mind being stuck with her.
And I wouldn't mind listening to her everyday.
Because she is a work of art, classic, delicate, full of surprises.
Because she is impossible to understand, but at the same time, an open book.

Because she is the one.
I wrote this inspired on one of my idols, it may not be poetically beautiful, but these are my thoughts. These are my feelings. This is me.

It is a nice day
In winter
It has snowed
And there is sunlight
Shining on it
My home is
Looking bright
And cosy
And I am feeling
Proud of it
Am chatting
With my son
Who is at college
And with my hubby
Who is out at work
And I am thinking
Of my love
A full day
A full life
God's grace.
Warm winter

Let's pretend we are not in love

And go on walking

So I can fall for you

All over again
