Right in the of the blossom of life,
The shock of life crept in.
Oh! That which I feared the most,
has visited me.

I was like the flower set for blossom in the spring,
Yet eaten up by the pest of the field.
Falling down and down,
Just like walking on slippery slanting *****,
I looked my left and right, not even a glimpse of hope.

I was like a ******* with four legs, yet i couldn't walk.
I was drowning in the bottomless sea of obscurity.
Why? Why?
I cried aloud.
Oh LORD, help me!
Of what good is an Eagle without wings.

Then it dawned on me, that "everything in this life is perishable".
Great kingdoms fall in the blink of an eye;
but one thing is imperishable- God's love.

He guided me, like a lamp unto my path,
From the bottomless sea of hopelessness.
He held my hands,
And step by step,
He comforted, remodelled and rebuilt me in line with His prototype- Jesus Christ.

My wings are growing!
This time, stronger than ever;
Faster than ever;
So powerful than ever- indestructible!
And beautiful than ever.

I'm ready to fly.
Behold, not even the tornado nor the hurricane can sway me in it's direction.
Mr Gravity has bowed down to me!
Oh yes! I've beaten the Escape velocity.

Oh the tears
Oh the pain
Oh the anguish
The suffering of the people
With their sorrowful heart
Broken to pieces by wickedness
Smothered and shredded
Afflicted and forsaken
Seeking peace and comfort
Calling out to whoever
Crying out for help
But all to no avail

I dwell in self gratification
I live in a conceited world
My words are to your derision
Denunciation is my motto
I care less about the world around me
Stinginess lies in my marrow
I am aroused by an inordinate desire for greatness
Treachery lies in my heart
I am impenitent and obdurate
I am consumed by my profane thoughts

And yet I say
I am chosen nation
A royal priesthood
A peculiar person
Dwelling in Glory and Splendor
Enjoying the Goodness of The Almighty
Not minding the world around me
Ignoring their cries
Overlooking their pains
Oblivious to their anguish
Though I know the way to peace
And God as made me a light of the world
I covert this light for myself alone
**My selfish deeds

1 year,
365 days,
12 months,
8766 hours,
525600 minutes,
And
3153600 seconds.

Tick tock, tick tock,
Time has passed.

Despair,
Remorse.

He died,
Seems like ages.

I cry a lot,
But never have i stopped missing you from that day.

The day they took your coffin away,
Leaving behind decay !

I've been counting all the days,
And it now has been exactly 1 year,

I'm far too late to say this,
But I love you,
And I will always miss you.

Isn't it strange--
Admitting weakness is an act of unparalleled strength.
There is nothing we can do that takes more strength,
Than to admit our brokenness.
Even the tallest of buildings will crumble,
If it does not admit the cracks in its paint,
The stress in its joints.
Even the strongest building has a breaking point.
And sometimes, the building needs to be healed.
It is made stronger by being broken,
Like steel is made stronger by first being weakened.
We humans are no different.
We are made stronger in our brokenness.
Admitting flaws is no weakness,
It's strength.

Holding it in,
Allowing it to build
Up.
Until finally
Explosion.
This is no strength.
Resolve, perhaps.
But not strength.

The strongest things are,
At one point or another,
Weak.

Life - the period between birth and death.

The rising of the Sun comes with the fulness of life; the replenishing of that which was lost.

Just like the spring comes with the green, flowers spring forth, so the beauty of life comes forth, rejuvinating that which was dead.

I've come to realise that life is quite blissful.
I've found out that what we do everyday and what we classify as "normal" is "phenomenal" if you take a closer look.

I've discovered that even if you're not exactly where you would like to be, that doesn't mean that right now life isn't beautiful.

We're constantly surrounded by wonders, but we become insensitive because they come so gracefully and seamlessly.

Have you ever thought of how fascinating, the air we breath in and out? Do you think before you breath? You don't right? It just happens. Isn't it amazing?

Every breath and every moment that's creating the opportunity for you to be alive, is a miracle, that's the beauty of life.

I've also seen that, there's no ordinary and extraordinary moment. All i see is beauty everywhere.

If you understand this, you can look at ordinary objects and find beauty in it's existence.

If you understand this, you can see a pile of rotting compost and realise that within that organic waste lies the possibility of a garden of flowers.


The beauty of life is about the victories won.
The beauty of life is about problems solved.
The beauty of life is about appreciating the world around.
For me, it is about creating something out of nothing;
For me, the Beauty of life is about making the impossible possible;

It's placing value on happiness.
Open your eyes, for life is beautiful..
