LA GRANDEZA DE DIOS

El amor de Dios me hizo grande
en su grandeza veo mi pequeñez
a experimentar este amor es maravilla
un amor que no se agota.

BEFRIENDING NEGATIVITIES

As I welcome the day with bright and sunny face
I do welcome and say how are you anger,
hurt, discomfort and frustration doing?

It is ridiculous but true
befriending negativities
bring into the consciousness
its existence and its apparent
effect on our being
that may spoil and destroy
one´s behavior and pattern of living.


How are you today,  negative feelings?
I recognize you and we together
we sort things out and live better.

A bright sunny day awaits
and throughout the day shall pervade
positive ambiance around us.

TRUE LOVE

Deep down inside of me

lies my yearnings to love

and be loved.

A basic human need

that compels one to heed

a natural gift to humankind.

True love waits 

and sincerity is the essence

of loving without conditions.

JUST BEING

Just being is an art
to be there at will
when my antsy heart
is not at standstill.

To be in a place
to be with someone
to stay there
being there.

Just being is an art
impairs one`s decision
to get solution
and instead, wait.

To be there for a while
let things occur
may it happen
and not desire.

Just being in quiet being
is an art not doing
it is becoming
just by being.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

A marvelous sight to enjoy
when rain satiates the parched land
and the heat of the earth
evaporates and moves upward the sky.



Thunder and lightning appear
rolling noise, violent strucks
electrical charges -
a nature`s wrath and anger.

Intermittent rain
alternating thunder and lightning
till boiling tempers
calm down and subside.

FREEDOM AND LOVE

Out in the field of freedom
rises new and vast horizons
of varied opportunities
and challenges.

Love is the power that propels
to rise above all fears
to take on the new road
to freedom.


In the horizons before me
lie uncertainties
risk I take
to find my heart.

Where the heart is
there happiness shall be
I seek you in freedom
to find thee, my love.

INTERCONNECTEDNESS

Our life journeys

maybe long and arduous one

or short and easy.

Whatever it takes

for one to live one´s life

the beginning is it`s ending.

Life is but a series of laps

and connectivity 

of the past to the present.

Of the present to the future.

There is not a wasted time

From then and now.

Everything is interconnected

and even intertwined

making our lives colorful.

Brightness and obscurity

passing and permanent

life is indeed beautiful!

HOLDING THE STAR

Enlightenment is the axis 
of zazen, sitting meditation.
Breathing in and breathing out
till my breathe takes me to nothing.

Nothing is the emptiness
enveloping my whole being
holding closely
to my bosom, the star.

The star of my destiny
I embrace and cuddle
look tenderly
as I sing my sweet lullaby.

SELF-HEALING

My hands is endowed with power
to heal myself and others.

I gently rub it
place upon the parts
that needed warmth
and healing.

Energizing the wounded parts
of my body
that needed attention and care.

I gently rub again
My two palms open
as I receive and give
the convergence of energies on my palm.

Put them over the weak parts of my body
that calls my attention and gentle care.

I rub my two hands with a kiss
and gently discharge
to the heavens
as I bow and walk away in peace.

THE HEART OF A DREAM

I believe in a dream
a dream that the outer energy has for one
One that connects human beings
to their dream of the heart.

The heart of a dream is not a dream
it is a reality that haunts a dreamer
and stops the yearnings
till it rests in the dream.

BRIDGING DREAM AND REALITY

Dream is out there
to catch
and hold closely into my heart.

Reality is what it is    
and dream is what I hope
and want to be.

Bridging my dream to become a reality
I step forward
to fulfil my dream.

PATIENCE

Patience - a virtue that pays off
till the last thread of breath
dissipates.

Walking moderately
as my heel begins to swell
taught me a lesson.

Patience lets you be
at par with your pace
enjoying not doing.

Seeing the swaying of the breeze
hearing the sound and noise
tasting the beauty.

No hurry, no structure
just being there
and be present.

ELEKSYON NA NAMAN

Minsan nakakapunding isipin
Totoo, eleksyon na naman
Mayroon kayang pagbabago
Sino ang posibleng mananalo?

Politikang pinoy ´ting gagalawan
Magulo, marumi, at malabo
Pangako, pag-asa ewan natin
Subukan ulit at para matuto.

Paano gagawin ng pobreng pinoy
Awa ng politikerong kampanya
Daya at utang na loob ang kalaban
Hindi ba puwedeng maging malaya?

Karapatan na para sa iyo lamang
Bakit di malayang angkinin?
Upang ang bawat totoong boto natin
maging bunga ng kalayaan.

LA FELICIDAD

Yo había visto y experimento

en diferentes ocasiones

en donde las personas

me muestran a mi la felicidad.

La felicidad es un don y disposición

de tal momento.

No es un estado permanente

que podemos experimentar.

La vida es así

yo como una persona humana

me gustaría buscar la felicidad 

en todos los momentos.

Y porque el sufrimiento 

tiene que estar como una sombra

que quita la felicidad

en un rato?

El suicidio de una niña 

la falta de sonrisa en las caras

de los muchachos

me dieron mucha tristeza.

¿La felicidad, donde estas,

donde estarás?

No esta afuera sino dentro de nosotros.
Hay que descubrirla.

¿QUE MAS?

Es una pregunta sencilla pero complicada        
mientras reflexionando y analizando

a lo largo de la vida no me puso satisfecha

¿Que mas?  

La pregunta y el anhelo 

que no tiene el fin

es una señal que la vida

siempre viene con mucha sorpresa.

¿Que mas?

Es una consecuencia

del alma que conecta con el creador

y dador de la vida.

La confianza es la seguridad

en esta cuestión

¿Que mas?

No sabemos realmente.
