Hovering Around

It’s funny to imagine our lives as something we spend a lot of time avoiding, because it seems like that would be impossible to do. Our lives consist of everything we engage in, from showering to sleeping, but also a lot of busy work that distracts us and keeps us from looking at our lives. Experiencing our life from the inside means taking time each day to simply be alone and quiet in the presence of our soul. Many of us are so out of practice that it’s almost unnerving to have a moment to ourselves. As a result, we may have stopped trying to carve out that time to take a seat at the center of our lives.

One of the reasons it can be uncomfortable to sit with ourselves is because when we do, we tend to open ourselves to an inner voice, which might question the way we’re living or some of the choices we’re making. Sometimes the voice reminds us of our secret, inner yearnings, dreams we thought we had forgotten. When we already feel overwhelmed by our busy schedules, the idea of hearing this voice can be exhausting. However, its reflections are the chords that connect us to our authentic selves, and they are the very things that make our lives worth living. When we continually avoid connecting with our life, we risk losing out on the very purpose of our existence.

To begin the process of being more present and less absent in your life, you might want to set aside just a few minutes each day to simply sit with yourself. This doesn’t mean watching a movie or reading a book, but taking time each day for self-examination to avoid the avoidance, to be with yourself in an open way. After a while, you may start to enjoy this part of the day so much that you make less busy work for yourself, so that you can spend more time at the center of your own life, rather than hovering like a planet around the sun.

THE PIT

A man fell into a pit and couldn't get himself out.

A SUBJECTIVE person came along and said:
"I feel for you, down there."


An OBJECTIVE person came along and said:
"It's logical that someone would fall down there."


A PHARISEE said:
"Only bad people fall into a pit."


A MATHEMATICIAN calculated
how he fell into the pit.


A NEWS REPORTER wanted
the exclusive story on his pit.


A FUNDAMENTALIST said:
"You deserve your pit."


An I.R.S. AGENT asked
if he was paying taxes on the pit.


A SELF-PITYING person said:
"You haven't seen anything until you've seen MY PIT!"


A CHARISMATIC said:
"Just confess that you're not in a pit."


An OPTIMIST said:
"Things could be worse."


A PESSIMIST said:
"Things will get worse!"


GOD, seeing the man,
Took him by the hand, and
LIFTED HIM OUT of the pit!

GOD SAID 'NO'

I asked God to take away my grief,
And God said “NO.”
He said it was not for Him to take away,
But for me to work through.

I asked God to make my broken heart whole,
And God said “NO.”
He said my spirit is whole.
My pain is only temporary.

I asked God to take away my pride
And God said “NO.”
He said it was not for Him to take away,
But for me to give up.

I asked God to grant me patience
And God said “NO.”
He said patience is a by-product of tribulation.
It isn’t granted, it’s earned.

I asked God to give me happiness
And God said “NO.”
He said He gives His blessings,
Happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me from pain
And God said “NO.”
He said sufferings draw you apart from
Worldly cares and brings you closer to Him.

I asked God to make my spirit grow
And God said “NO.”
He said I must grow on my own,
But He will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked God if He loved me
And God said “YES.”
He gave His only Son who died for me,
And I will be in heaven someday because I believe.

I asked God to help me love others
As much as He loves me
And God said,
“Ah, you finally have the idea!”

Stepping Stones To Greener Pastures

Who knows the way I take but God alone!
Fifty people can look at your life, or my life,
and in their mind believe
they know all the answers,
and each will have a different answer,
but God says,
He alone knows the way that I take,
or that you take.

There will always be judges
sitting in the grandstands,
but as a child of God
we only have one Judge.
And He is able to judge according
to righteousness and mercy.
He sees all our yesterdays,
He sees the moment,
and He sees all our
tomorrows.

Our Father looks at the intent of our heart.
So, if and when, you find yourself
in the hands of many judges, take heart,
don’t let their opinion break your spirit,
for you have the Holy One of Israel
who searches depths no finite mind
can comprehend.
Your God, my God, will always and forever
bring good out of the bad events
or circumstances of our lives.

This is when we must trust God and
not lean on our own understanding.
God is God! He will never allow
His children to suffer without
a higher purpose to accomplish.

We must never forget this.
Our Heavenly Father hears our silent cry!
He will never ignore you or pass you by.
His timing is always perfect,
He will not fail you!!

God’s Promise

God never promised
A life without pain,
Laughter without tears
Or sun without rain.
But He did promise
Strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears
And light for the way,
And for all who believe
In His Heaven above
He rewards their faith
In His everlasting love.

FRIENDSHIP

If there is one ingredient
which adds warmth
and love to our lives…
It is friendship.

If there is one relationship
to help us through
all the others…
It is friendship.

Friends surround us with
the beauty of their caring.
With friends we can share
what we see, what we feel,
and what we love.

Friends help us with our problems
because they listen. And as they
listen we begin to hear the
language of our own hearts.

With friends
we can walk along the
remembered paths of our lives…
and completely share
our experiences.

With friends
we can work the soil
of forgotten dreams
that needed to be tended
and nurtured once again.
With friends we can plant
the seed of our hearts
new dreams.

We can always return to a friend,
like going back to a special place.
And find the same warm feeling
unchanged by time or distance.

Life gives us friends so that we
can share the precious times…
and memorable moments of being
children and teenagers,
and adults and parents,
and grandparents.

Life gives us friends so we can
share the growing up…
and growing down and old.

With friends
we have a place to go
to be accepted and understood.
Together we can laugh.
Together we can cry.

Our thoughts are heard,
our feelings are held
in the heart of a friend.
With our friends
our lives are made more full,
more rich, more open,
Beautiful and Blessed!

Sunshine and shadows

Sunshine and shadows, forgiveness and grace,
Moon beams and star dust, all have their place,
In what God has made for all of mankind,
Until He comes at the end of all time.

Flowers and humming birds, love so divine,
Precious Creator, dear friend of mine,
Kittens and puppy dogs, children at play,
Remind us of God, who too made this day.

Wind that rustles, the leaves in the trees,
And to watch the flight of the bumble bees.
Clouds in the heavens, rolling so high,
Whispers of God, who is always near by.

Laughter and tears, beautiful hymns,
Go hand in hand, when we worship Him.
Love and faith, friend by my side,
Heaven awaits us with gates open wide.

Each moment goes by, like the set of the sun
Yes, our race here on earth will soon be run.
So walk each day slowly, spend each moment with care,
It’s God’s precious love, we all need to share.

Is Your Hut Burning?

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the weather, and to store his few possessions.

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.

Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground—it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

Silent thundertears

Silent thundertears
invade the shadow-shelter world
I’ve built on stilts
melting into the high tide.

The soft remembrance
of feelings felt between us
body-tremors me to a smile.

You’re on the wind of leaving…
We will never meet again…


Above the rough roar
of silent thundertears,
bathing on the beach
of yesterday…


I still nestle with you in that..
the most favored corner
of my memories.

A Woman’s Prelude

When you left
tears led your train away.
Had the year passed in one year,
this love would not hold it’s fragrance, dear,
this love would not upset, but grow.

Now that you are gone,
these tears do feel their value –
yet no tears may compensate,
the love they wash, too rare…

I smile.

Not from release, but strength.
Your love did not leave that day,
it remained, here in my world.
Your face transforms daily;
the love you gave, I keep.

It fills these nights –
Winds too cold for travel,
Feelings too warm for sleep.

IN YOUR EYES

In your eyes, the Angels dance,
In your smile, the heavens rejoice,
Through your voice, cherubs sing, and
Through your touch, all pain is healed.

In your eyes, the Angels dance,
To a tune of joy so wild, and
Deep inside, I see some more,
A world so full of warmth and peace.

In your eyes, the Angels dance,
And if I could, yes, I would join,
In your world of love and fantasy,
Far from the flight of imagination.

Heaven and Hell, The Real Difference

A man spoke with GOD
about heaven and hell.

GOD said to the man,
“Come, I will show you hell.”

They entered a room where a group of
people sat around a huge pot of stew.
Everyone was famished,
desperate and starving.

Each held a spoon that reached the pot,
but each spoon had a handle so much
longer than their own arm that it could not
be used to get the stew into their own mouths.

The suffering was terrible.

“Come, now I will show you heaven,”
GOD said after a while.

They entered another room, identical to the first -
the pot of stew, the group of people, the same long-handled spoons.
But there everyone was happy and well-nourished.

“I don’t understand,” said the man.
“Why are they happy here when they were miserable
in the other room and everything was the same?”

GOD smiled.
“Ah, it is simple,” he said. “Here they have learned to feed each other.”

Rules For Being Human

1. You Will Receive A Body
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.



2. You Will Learn Lessons
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school, you will have the opportunity to learn lessons - you may like the lesson or think them irrelevant and stupid.



3. There Are No Mistakes, Only Lessons
There is a process of trial and error; experimentation. The ‘failed’ experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately ‘works’.



4. A Lesson Is Repeated Until It Is Learned
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.



5. Learning Lessons Does Not End.
There is no part of Life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.



6. ‘There’ Is No Better Than ‘here’.
When your ‘there’ has become a ‘here’, you will simply obtain another ‘there’ that will again look better than ‘here’.



7. Others Are Merely Mirrors Of You.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.



8. What You Make Of Your Life Is Up To You.
You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.



9. Your Answers Lie Inside You.
The answers to Life’s questions lie inside you. All you need do is look, listen and trust.



10. You Will Forget All This.



11. You Can Remember It Whenever You Want

The Empowered Woman

The Empowered Woman, she moves through the world
with a sense of confidence and grace.
Her once reckless spirit now tempered by wisdom.
Quietly, yet firmly, she speaks her truth without doubt or hesitation
and the life she leads is of her own creation.

She now understands what it means to live and let live.
How much to ask for herself and how much to give.
She has a strong, yet generous heart
and the inner beauty she emanates truly sets her apart.
Like the mythical Phoenix,
she has risen from the ashes and soared to a new plane of existence,
unfettered by the things that once that posed such resistance.

Her senses now heightened, she sees everything so clearly.
She hears the wind rustling through the trees;
beckoning her to live the dreams she holds so dearly.
She feels the softness of her hands
and muses at the strength that they possess.
Her needs and desires she has learned to express.
She has tasted the bitter and savored the sweet fruits of life,
overcome adversity and pushed past heartache and strife.

And the one thing she never understood,
she now knows to be true,
it all begins and ends with you.

MORNING PONDER

There are two kinds of writer: those that make you think, and those that make you wonder.


What is written without effort is in generally read without pleasure.

When we read, we stat at the beginning and continue until we reach the end. When we write, we start in the middle and fight our way out.

Forget all the rules. Forget about being published. Write for yourself and celebrate writing.

If you can’t annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.

The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

Our Deepest Fear

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

10 STEPS TO STOP WORRYING

All human beings worry sometime or the other. The following ten steps can help you keep your worries at bay.

Step 1: Never worry alone. Talk to someone about your problems. This will help put your problems in proper perspctive.

Step 2: Get the facts: Find out if your worry has any basis. Write down what is worrying you, it will help you isolate and identify the problem.

Step3: Take action. Don’t waste your time or energy on worrying. Try to confront and resolve your problems. Avoiding difficulties creates more stress in the long run.

Step 4: Take care of your body: exercise daily, eat healthy food and get enough sleep, because exercising will help relax your muscles. Taking care of your body physically will not only reduce tension, but also gives more energy to deal with the problem.

Step 5: Live for the moment : don’t worry about what will happen in the future and what happened in the past. Focus instead on the present.

step 6: Be positive: always focus on the positive side of things instead of brooding on negative thoughts. Develop a sense of humour.

Step 7: Set aside a worry period of about 30 minutes to think about your problems, arrive at solutions and ease your tensions.

Step 8: Remain busy: plenty of action is a cure for worry. Keeping yourself busy eliminates negative thoughts from your mind.

Step 9: Avoid self – medication: do not resort to taking unnecessary drugs or alcohol. Take professional help, if needed.

Step 10: Finally, count your blessings: whenever your worries make you feel low, think of the blessings. You will start to feel better.

Motivational Thoughts

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

A loser doesn’t know what he’ll do if he loses, but talks about what he’ll do if he wins, and a winner doesn’t talk about what he’ll do if he wins, but knows what he’ll do if he loses.

A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want.

A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

A man is what he thinks about all day long.

A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is but saying that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.

A man’s dreams are an index to his greatness.

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

A poor man is not the one without a cent. A poor man is the one without a dream.

A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

Accept fate, and move on. Don’t yield to the seductive pull of self-pity. Acting like a victim threatens your future.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
Walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.

The Morning Glory

I awaken to the glory of the morning,
sunshine streaking, birds cheerfully cheeping,
another day is born.

The Morning Glory inaudibly climbs,
and shares its shy beauty, so rare.
And, we know that behind its mystery,
Our Creative God is there.

He blesses us with sunshine,
He blesses us with rain,
because it’s only through the showers,
that do we not, remain the same.

So, as this new day awakens,
and I’m cradled securely in Your arms,
May Your love forever keep me safe,
and sheltered from all storms.

To My Email Friend…

You’re someone I’ve come to know,
With a smile so bright and sweet.
It represents your lovely heart.
I’m pleased that we could meet.

Your love for God shows,
The love you feel inside.
You share with those, you come to know,
These feelings you can’t hide.

I’m grateful for your light that shines.
It brightens all my days.
I pray you feel the love I give,
In meek and humble ways.

Singing in the Shower

There’s so many things I’d like to tell you
But this is just me talking to myself
My thoughts are blown in the wind
Completely incoherent to you
But so full of meaning for me
How could you possibly understand?
People come and go in my life
To share a part of it with me
Then they go again leaving me more
Enriched by their presence
And a little sadder
For not having known them a little longer
But I’m just singing in the shower
Everyone listens but no one hears

If I Had Only Known

If I had only known the road would be so long
I would have danced a little slower
I would have sang a different song

If I had only known
when I was young and free
I would have made so many different choices
Taken better care of me

If I had only known
the road would be so long
I would have stood in the rain longer
Moved far away from here
Walked on a beach in the moonlight
Watched the sun set into night

It is not for me to know how long the road will be
I need to thank God for the blessings
He has indeed bestowed on me
I will dance a little slower
And sing a different song
For God is traveling by my side
He has been there all along

Your Dreams May Be Closer than you think!

There may be times when you feel
as if you have taken a million steps towards
your dreams, and acted on your plans, only to find
yourself in the same place that you began from.
At times like this, you must not give up.

You must continue on. Though you may feel
lost, bewildered, and alone, continue to believe
in yourself. Do not allow discouragement and
doubt to blur your vision and wash away
your dreams. Visualize your way beyond the
detours, standstills, and obstacles.

You will realize your dreams. You have
worked hard and taken so many productive
steps in a positive direction that you are bound
to succeed. Whatever the hurt of the moment
may be, it will pass. Tomorrow is always a
new dawn. Today, you must pause, rest, catch
your breath, and then look ahead. Each step
will bring you closer to your dreams. The
rainbows and the love that you deserve are in
sight. Happiness is just around the next turn.

Within You Is The Strength

To Meet Life’s Challenges!

You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.


Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.

Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.

Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.

When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle…
and you are stronger than you think.

A Creed To Live By

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people
deem important.

Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them
life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers
by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.

It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your dreams.

To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget
not only where you’ve been, but also where you’re going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
each step of the way.

Altantuya trial: 'UTK source of explosives'

Evidence in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial has pointed towards the Unit Tindakan Khas (Special Action Unit) as being the source of the explosives used to blow her up, a High Court here heard.

Lead prosecutor DPP Tun Abd Majid Tun Hamzah, continuing his submissions at the end of the prosecution's case, first pointed out that there was no record of explosives used up during the elite squad's training.

"It was on a trust basis and no inspections were done in the homes of officers and the rank and file in respect of ammunition, firearms and explosives," he said, adding that both C/Insp Azilah Hadri and Kpl Sirul Azhar Umar had undergone basic training on explosives.

DPP Tun Abd Majid said that although UTK training officer Deputy Supt M.V. Sri Kumar had testified that it was the responsibility of the officer or personnel whom the explosives were issued to return them to the store, he could not speak for others.

"Clearly, DSP Sri Kumar was not the one responsible for collecting and returning the explosives from the store. He was only the officer in charge," he said.

DPP Tun Abd Majid said several other police witnesses had confirmed that the explosives residue recovered from the crime scene was of the same type used by the UTK.

"Thus it is submitted that there is sufficient evidence to show that the explosives substances found at the scene came from the UTK and that C/Insp Azilah and Kpl Sirul Azhar had access to them and had the opportunity to smuggle them out," the prosecutor argued.

Rebutting a contention that there was no explosion on the night Altantuya was murdered, DPP Tun Abd Majid referred to the testimony of former post-blast investigations head Deputy Supt Muhammad Koey Abdullah that the surrounding trees at the scene must have absorbed the sound of the explosion.

The prosecutor pointed out that Mustaffa Umat, the auxiliary policeman stationed at a dam near the scene who claimed he heard firecrackers that night, had also testified that he had never heard a bomb go off before.

"That explains why he could not tell whether what he heard was an explosion from a bomb," he submitted.

On the presence of the two UTK operatives at Hotel Malaya as captured by closed-circuit television cameras, DPP Tun Abd Majid said the most probable inference would be that they were carrying out surveillance on the deceased.

This, he said, was because a note bearing political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda's handwriting of Altantuya's name and where she was putting up had been found in a bag in C/Insp Azilah's cubicle in Bukit Aman.

The hearing continues on Thursday.

Ahmad Ismail misses 'appointment' with police - Malaysiakini

Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail, who has had police reports lodged against him, did not turn up for an interview with the police on Tuesday.

Police are still waiting for him to give his statement over seditious remarks he allegedly made in the run-up to the Aug 26 Permatang Pauh by-election.

State deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid said an investigating officer contacted the Umno leader early this week, asking him to turn up at the Bukit Mertajam district police headquarters on Tuesday.

"But he never turned up and the interview was rescheduled to today (Wednesday) afternoon," SAC Salleh said.

As at 5.45pm, he had still not turned up.

Attempts to contact Ahmad over the past few days to get his side of the story have been unsuccessful. A check by The Star around on Wednesday found his bungalow in the exclusive Robina Park in Butterworth deserted.

"Five reports have been lodged against him in George Town, Bukit Mertajam, Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya over the past week.

"Once Ahmad gives his statement, we hope to wrap our investigations by Friday as most of the statements by others have been taken. The file will then be sent to the Attorney-General in Putrajaya for further action," SAC Salleh told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday morning.

Ahmad is being investigated under 4 (1) (b) of the Sedition Act 1948, he said, urging people to let the police do their work.

Ahmad had allegedly called Malaysian-Chinese pendatang (immigrants) at a ceramah (political address) prior to the Permatang Pauh by-election. His statement caused a furore and has been condemned by parties on either side of the political divide.

A BETTER WAY.....

Door was closed to me once….
But the feeling never left….
I’ve waited for so long….
Until you have learned to try….
That somehow you loved me at my best….
Changes are not meant to be….
Changes are not planned….
They are meant to makes things better…
A meaning so far from revenge….?
I must go because its the choice not mean to be….
To hurt you is not my intention….
I left because it was a better move….
A better way to care….
A better way to show that I LOVE YOU so….

EYES OF A FRIEND

When my heart’s feeling broken
and my spirit’s lost its wings
When the road is full of puddles
and my step has lost its spring

There is someone there to count on
who repairs my broken heart
and gives me wings to fly
and I make a brand new start

A special one who doesn’t judge me
or criticize the things I do
Someone who makes me take a look
and see me through the eyes of you

When this happens I am lifted
to a place that’s far above
from the darkness to the light
to a place that’s full of love

When I see me through your eyes
things are really not so vile
I thank God for you, my friend
as my frown becomes a smile

ARE WE FRIENDS OR NOT?

Are we friends or are we not
you told me once but i forgot
so tell me now and tell me true
so i can say im here for you
and if i die before you do
i will go to heaven and wait for you
i would give the angels back their wings
and risk the lost of everything
just to show my friendship is true
and have a friend just like you.

A DREAMER'S DREAM

You ask me to leave you
Knowing fully well it can’t happen
You ask me to deceive myself
Telling me it is your hearts summon

If you had to go then,
Why you wired my winsome life
Why you wilted me so much
Simply to slice me with wordy knife

The pain the pining the parting is scorching
The tempest of throbbing heart is enticing
Its only sincere resident
Looking glass- the self reticent

Oh! My tormentor may you have peace
Though I am shredded piece by piece…

POEM BY .......

A DREAMER'S DREAM

"When you allow angels to be part of your life, miracles truly happen.”
A loving angel came to me in dreams.
She showed me life’s not always what it seems,
And brought me to a place where sweet dreams live.
She gave to me a gift that I now give,
A Dreamer’s Dream.
She whispered, “Take my hand and I will lead you through A place where
only sweet dreams can come true.
Close your eyes and open up your heart,
For then this flight of dreams so sweet can start.
Dream, Dreamer, Dream.”
She brought me through the darkness to the Light,
Where colors wrapped around me, such delight.
A patchwork quilt of beauty without seams,
Each color was a rainbow full of dreams.
Dreamer’s Dreams.
She led me through a hallway of pure sound,
With doors flung open widely all around.
And from each room a song would gently play.
I wished with all my heart that I could stay,
In this Dreamer’s Dream.
But we drifted in the fragrance of the breeze,
To savor all the flowers and the trees.
We tasted all of life that we could see,
And felt it flow as one in harmony…..
We Dreamed this Dreamer’s Dream.
Then my angel turned her eyes to me and said,
“You’re the Keeper of these Dreams inside your head.
Find sweet Dreamers, who would Dream of Love and Light, These Dreams
will lead them safely through the night.
Help these Dreamers Dream.”
And so I am the Keeper of this Dream, it’s true,
But I offer all my Dreams to each of you.
May their loving sweetness visit you each night
And fill your soul with Love and Warmth and Light.
Dream, Dreamers, Dream!

Million Questions

I have a million question to be asked….
Hanging in my mind….
Full of expection that you will answer it me…why?
But you were so silent and remain so sad….
You put your hand in my hand and you hold them so tight….
You cling your head in my shoulder…..
Still no words into your mind….
Tears flows in to your eyes…
Still wondering ….why….?
Your silent is like a killer that you put it in my mind….
What i have done, that i hurt you so much….?
I can never leave you my dear….
On the tip of a million question hanging in my mind….why…?
