Help them to build their strength
And to never settle for less

A light-darked etching
A simple-minded fledgling
Sketchings in time life's testing

I am apart

Bravery to fight
Never to prove I am right..

Stalwart as a bulwark..

Stark with my heart..

I am rarely right.. I'm up every night

Never to prove I'm right.

But to prove sometimes.. You are wrong..

We all have moments
Seconds really..
Moments to cherish and moments to fear

All along right or wrong, wrong or right..

I know you're fed up as are many..

So fight

Seek and obtain enlightenment despite judgement..

Lockdown your light..

Make it yours..
The power is always there
It really is up to us to make the right choice
We can envision greatness
As long as we do not lose our voice
As imperative messages are being uttered
We gather valuable information
Step by step we learn and grow respectively
In order to build our foundation
Always have that energy
As your spiritual guide
To lift yourself up greatly
As that ship sails along the tide
Waters may sometimes be rocky
But, you must have that strong will to survive
Be that beacon of light
In order to continue to thrive
The power is all there
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Put your best foot forward
The mind can achieve
Build strength every day
Be willing to empower your mind
Just keep it going at all times
And make your world shine
Be fierce and strong
Continue to make progress
Maintain a positive demeanor
Build yourself through the process
Always lift yourself upward
Be your own source of motivation
Put your heart into everything
Continue on with your determination

For the earthquake stricken people in Mindanao
×A collaboration with Maia Padua..another published author and poet..

As the wrath of the earth
Swipes us off-guard
Our own works knelled down
Its debris scattered all around
Roars from beneath unearthed
Deafening the already deaf ones
Once so numb by her cry
and her lullaby

In the midst of rustling winds
and roaring sounds so frightening
Cries of men rippling
Wondering why such wrath
whipped us all
the rage we cannot fathom why
Had led us back to what we are
from nothing...nothing

We light this candle of hope
Praying that your tears will be gone
Your broken heart will be whole
Faith and faith alone withstand
Like a flame of lighted candle
Flew to where the breeze would go
May it bring hope to everyone
Lifting and bring their hearts afire

If only we can sing a song for you
A song to keep you going
A song of hope not fear
A song of faith to bear
Keeping the faith burning..burning

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.. Agape
Mihai Brinas Nov 2019
when silence abandons it
the pain held in captivity
escapes from confinement
all over the body
it crushes him from inside
just like serrated wheels
and the body becomes drunk
from so much suffering
it is the moment from which
the hours are not equal anymore
Always take those steps
To improve yourself greatly
One can do better and be better
Rise up the ladder immensely
Continue to be persistent
Always believe that you can
Find your inner strength
Rise up and take that stand
With every lesson that you learn
Your visions get sharper
The mind processes the information
So your world can be brighter
Education is the foundation
That opens all the doors
Spread those wings collectively
In order for you to soar
