Farewell

When it is time to say goodbye,
we will walk our separate ways.
Yesterdays are past, and we shall move on.
But those memories we have,
will be kept as treasures in our hearts.

It is never easy to say goodbye,
for the time spent together are precious.
If only we realized this sooner.
You, you, you and you,
all the yous out there will be remembered.

Age will come and snatch our youth,
but they shall not erase our memories together.
Time will come and rob our days,
but they shall not remove the remembrance we had as friends.

One day,
when we meet on the streets,
please greet me as your friend,
not a stranger,
not a foe.
But a friend,
who shared those memories,
together.

Farewell, is never easy, never simple.
But it is essential,
as a proper way to say,
'Goodbye'.

Porcupine

I am a porcupine,
and I look just fine.

I am small,
and not very tall,
I look adorable from afar,
but I am as black as a tar.

Sometimes humans come too close,
and I will put a pose.
To terrify them away,
so I will be safely okay.

If you come near me,
I might flee.
My quills are nasty,
and they are clumsy.

My hobby is to sleep,
no, wait, it is to eat.
I love anything green,
and looks keen.

White Noise

"White noise is a good masking agent." - 2003, Princeton University.

At times, we close our ears to the cries of the people around us.
We rather clog our ears, and turn the other way than to offer them a hand.
We seal our hearing, and neglect their hurts.

As times passes, those cries turn into white noise.
A noise that is there but has been masked.
Masked by our heart that has turn stone-cold.
Masked by our intellectual reasoning, that these hurting souls are yet another scheme.

What matters is not the reason why they need us.
What matters today, is this.
Will we lay down our lives for theirs?
Do we have what it takes to sacrifice our lives for theirs?

If you were to die for someone, will you die for an enemy?
It is unthinkable, unexpected, and unaccepted by many.
But Christ has died for us, His life for ours.
All humankind, rejected Him, denied Him, betrayed Him,
Yet, He came, He persevere, He sacrifice, He offer, He Love,
He died for you and I.
For we are His passion, that are worth dying for.

His blood for ours.

Think about it-

Would anyone die for an enemy?

A paradox in the realms of Love

Is Love a paradox?

Love heals ; Love hurts,

Love starts; Love ends,

Love provides; Love takes,

Love reveals; Love hides

Love, is meant to be given, to be received, to be shared,

Love, is to reflect, to renew, to recharge, to reform,

Love, is when we put others before us.

The best definition of love is

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. -1 Corinthians 13:4

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. –John 14:13

But the greatest love is this:

When He give His only begotten Son, to die on the cross for you and I who are underserving, unrepentant, sinful and selfish.

Love is God, and God is love. The origin of Love is traced back to God. Love is everywhere, if only we can see what Love sees.

What are you living for?

What are we living for?

Some live for fame,
Some exist for fortune,
Some breath honor,
Some sacrifice to make a name.

Most defend themselves saying, 'I live for my dreams'
Many support their cause saying, 'I live for my love ones'
Few say "I live for the Glory'

Glory, a word seem so foreign and distant.
Yet,
It is a word that is with us, within us, if you look carefully.

Glory,
is found in the nature, in our conscience,
We are beings made for eternity.

Choose to live for the right cause,
for Glory,
for The One, who made eternity exist in our soul.
