Magandang Araw

Isang magandang araw ang bumati sa akin

may init at may dalang hapyo ng hangin

nagsilbing yakap at halik sa sandaigdigan.

O kay ganda, may ligayang tunay na taglay

bawat kanyang dampi ay s'yang pagpapalang bigay

upang damhin  ibayong ganda na alay.

Sa pag-ikot ng araw

Sa pagdaraan ng mga araw
at s'yang paglaglag na mga dahon
mga luntiang tanawin ngayon
taglay ang pag-asang susungaw.

Sa sutsot ng hanging amihan
may taglay sa 'ting kasiyahan
kapayapaan sa 'king dibdib
katarungan ay siyang siklab.

LIVING NORMAL LIFE

If some days are overwhelming

with doings and feelings

we need to move and respond

it might be exhausting.

If some days are energy draining

listening ears and compassion

we lend and give

so others may live.

My continues gratitude giving

to folks who stand by

and help in order for me 

to live a normal life.

Saying Thank You's

Is it easy to say thank you

when you receive something?

Something you cherish and love

from someone you know.

Do you utter thank you

for a thing that's denied of you

you feel you deserve

from someone you know?

Are you a thank you person

that every gift you receive

wrapped and unwrapped

from someone you don't know?

Saying our thank you's

more often and constantly

draws a positive energy

for people around us.

GRATITUDE

An overflowing gratitude
to human relationships
that create families, friendships
and working relations
that support our living and being.

A continues gratitude
to my everyday waking up
with all that is around me
that gives color and beauty
to my inner world.

The Universe and I Exist

An overflowing surprises

around my existence and its purpose

is a mind boggling state

but not anymore.

I look with the gaze of love

my own creation

mirrored in the universe story

my humble existence.

Each part of me is a universe

of which 13.7 billions years ago

slowly life came into being

and drawn from the same life.

Life comes from the Divine / God.

galaxies, animals, plants

human beings, languages

we are connected and related.

I SHOULD KNOW

Why could my mind
not able to capture a simple truth
and live in deception?

I should know now
who I am, what I stand for
a beautiful learning experience!

To feel hope

When many times I've tried
to live up to my name
hope and to always have hope
in an instant I've lost hope.

To something I have hope for
something I wish a dream
will come true, I lost it
fear I would not hope anymore.

I don't know how to trust
and hope for another time
a second chance makes it difficult
to move on and hope.

I hope that one day I shall regain
the lost hope and feel healed
to hope that I will be whole
hopeful as ever be.
