Mornings Aren’t Lazy
Mornings aren’t lazy,
but artistically inclined.
A fresh, rich earthly palette at
the Hand of The Divine.
The sun’s brush of light sweeps,
through forests, mountains, seas.
Birds musically accompany
in wondrous melody.
Sweet dewdrops glisten surfaces,
light mists move in and out.
Then lifting, dancing, rising,
they settle into clouds.
No, mornings aren’t lazy,
but the scaffolding of days.
Sky color sets the mood and tone
while wind defines the pace.
As temperature assumes its course,
alongside density of air,
a synergy is formed reflecting
thorough, precise care.
No, morning aren’t lazy,
each it’s own masterpiece of art.
Testifying of creation -- Life!
A gift from God's own heart.

I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy."

it is the time to love and trust.
And how light the hand of life becomes
and how songful the night,
when one is loving and trusting all.

The Ballad of Forever
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORIES OF
HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL 11
and
THE MOST REV. FATHER WALDAREDO DG. CASTILLO, 56
[ 9- 24 - 2008 ]
PULILAN, BULACAN, PHILIPPINES
As the gentle twilight embrace our souls,
our body is no more...
Leaping in the wind, kissing the clouds.
Nimbus, stratus and gigantic stars!
Reaching the majestic mountain top as you climb.
And as your limbs dance in the wind,
a door is flung...wide it is!
Open...
There came a sweet command,
"My child, your journey is over."
" Come Home."
As you behold your spirit to rest,
you travel to the silence of the beyond.
Petals of flowers you sprinkled, along its' path linger.
Why?...
For your mortal years were spent
shaping your life with purpose.
By putting rainbows to lives that are dull...
By bringing rain to the soil of human hearts
battered by human drought.
Higher your limbs fly,
leaving a covenant of love and hope.
Up you go to, The Ballad of Forever.......

A Lullaby To Eternity
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF
MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA
The fascinating strokes of your hands is
an artist's masterpiece.
For it draws in an empty canvas
the minutes of times' little piece...
And empty no more the canvas is,
for in it is poured colors of masterpiece.
Then there comes a little drummer from your heart,
singing a shout of love...
Stepping to the minutes of time.
The clock keeps ticking gently
as the drummer beats loud!
Many dances with their hearts...
A step to many unsung songs.
A step to many unheard cries.
A step to many unfed hungers.
The unsung, the unheard, the unfed are filled.
And there you stay...
with the fascinating strokes of your hands.
An artist's masterpiece.

Leaves That Vow To The Ground
The leaves that vow to the ground is like mankind.
As it descend from its branch, to caress its roots-
it clings to the light of the sun!
Mankind travel down to many roads,
to find somewhere, a place.
Many roads, with many stones, winding or free,
until they find solace...
A place to hide and cry.
A place to hope and try.
A place to live.
A home to stay.
An abode to dwell...
And as they dwell somewhere, they multiply.
Lives sprout to grow like, the leaves of a springtime.
And as the circle of lives come revolving around, and so is
the destiny of mankind.
But not until they become like leaves that vow to the ground,
man will never find the brush of greenleaves from
a tree planted on the ground with strong roots.

Hold Me!...LORD
Hold me!...LORD,
as I enter the lightless cavern of life.
Let my heart be open, so I can only see the light.
Guide my hand, as I walk through a desert land.
Give me wings, so I can soar high, if I need to fly.
Set my feet in an anchor, so I can face life.
Put music in my heart, so I can make heavy things light.
Guide me to a forever, so I can have a gift of charity.
Lead me to an eternity of life with meaning,
so I can always thank Thee.
Mould in me a heart of gold, so I can always see
the beauty of the world.
Wrap in me a mind of purpose, so I can not see
the emptiness of some worlds.
Lend unto me Your courage...LORD,
so I can plant a tree of hope.

When A Soft Breeze Gently Touches
When a soft breeze gently touches,
it is The Hands of GOD.
We begin to see:
The beauty of the world,
The essence of peace,
The joy of sacrifice.
The triumph of goodness!
When a soft breeze gently touches,
it is The Heart of GOD.
HE puts us in an even tide of our life,
so we can rest from wandering.
In the seasons of our hearts,
HE gives strength, so we can face many storms!
HE lifts us, in an immortality of our dreams,
with HIM...as we abide in HIM.
As a soft breeze gently touches,
it is The Hands and The Heart of GOD.
An everlasting joy, an enduring pain,
and a longevity of a life lived for others:
As HE commanded us to be!

HE Knows You
Whether days ahead are bright and grim,
Your anchor holds when trusting him.
Yes, JESUS arms will hold you tight
On sunny days, or in the dark of night.
Family, friends and others, too,
Care about and often pray for you.
When feeling blue and things seem bleak,
Look up toward Heaven...just take a peak!
There's silver lining behind that cloud.
It'll bring a smile - no frowns allowed.
That's because The LORD is up there,
Waiting to answer your heart-torn prayer.
The answer may not be what you'd choose,
But accepting His Will, you just can't lose!
Trust GOD's best to carry you through...
HE knows your needs...and HE knows You!

The Womb of Ignorance
As we run to the endless race of human pursuit,
we create walls, for the glorious
victory of great minds.
We go inside the womb of ignorance,
a lifeless womb.
And there we dwell, the world of self...
Where only a limit of horizon breathes.
Endless the race is!
Stepping on each other to go up.
Rising above each other, ego!
Oh! how it can breed many things.
At the end of every days, a poignant void left unfilled,
that evolves to a vast field, too big to fill.
Bruised ourselves are!
Climbing high day by day...
Until the wound heals no more!
I beg thee!...
Get out of that womb and
let another womb bear you.
The womb of knowledge.

The Sparkling Shadow of Fear
The sparkling shadow of fear lies behind us all.
The sparkling shadow of fear lies within us all.
It is veiled, and we try not to unveil.
Sorrounded by fear, we walk not.
We break hearts, we burn bridges.
We create walls, we blow love away!
We face not the world, unafraid!
Like a cage bird that can not fly, we are!
Like a seed that can not sprout, we are!
We kill the beautiful person that we can be...
For what is fear???
It is our inability to open our hearts and
let it float freely, so it becomes crystal clear
like endless water of the sea.
Ah!...how afraid, we are all!
It is the highest expression of insecurities, inferiorities,
inadequacies, and even hate!
As the shadow of fear sparkles within us all,
we can not love, we can not grow, we can not live!
We can not give to build, we can not build to give.
We can not follow to lead, we can not lead to follow.
We can not lead to serve, we can not serve to share...
We are a servant to our self!
We only die everyday,
a thousand death that will never die!
Ah!...the sparkling shadow of fear!
For many it is so dear!
A pillar that we embrace so near!

The Way Home
Each year we return to this place
we know as home.
Bearing the fruits of our labors,
the joys and pains of our pursuits.
Here we rest, we share,
we heal, we thrive.
Here spirits soar, souls dance!
In magical wonder we make up for the lost time.
A celebration of life!
Cups filled to overflowing--
A cornucopia of love!
And in our joy, time stands still.
And we behold the greatest gift of all.
One another.

It takes courage to love,
but the pain through love is the purifying fire
which those who love generously know.

a full heart enriched by
honest service, love, sacrifice and courage."

it is because we forget we belong to each other."

TO ALL THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS IN
GOD'S GARDEN OF LIFE,
WITH HUMANITY WHERE THEY LIVED,
IN THE UNIVERSE, WHERE THEIR FRAGRANCE
EXUDE LOVE FOREVER.
When A Flower Blooms No More
When a flower blooms no more, it lives!
The petals are cast off, to give more seeds,
and the fallen petals travel like a spray of a bouquet,
searching the unknown.
The fragrance lingers, as the heart aches.
Beauty lives, as the heart cherishes it.
The unfathomable times of a flower is
a gift of mystery.
For the larger house of a flower
is not in its blooms, it is in its seeds.
At the ebbing of a tide, it flows like an endless river,
it stands like a boundless sky.
For the boundless in love and the endless in beauty
lies dormant in sleep...
Only to bloom again.
As the flower gives birth to a seed,
the seed gives birth to a plant,
and the plant gives birth to more flowers and fruits!
Like a garden of humanity where we live.
Laughters...Tears...
Life...Death...
And even life after death!
For the tender kindness of a heart
always reververates and breathes.
At The Hands of The Infinite Supreme.
