Secret

Heavy eyelids
Drifting into dreamland
Subconscious thoughts swirling about the mind
Secret dreams, wishes and longings pressing pass the social masks

Will my lips betray me
I clamp shut my mouth
Silencing those secret musings
Even as I drift in and out of subconsciousness

 

 

Ah Self…

Ah Self

You parade before the mirror
With your high hat and swanky dress
You turn from side to side
Showing off that bodily figure
Waiting for that approval clap

Ah Self
You came with your high heels
Red and shiny they are
Elegant it says
Power it seems to comunicate
You stand almost proud not knowing that
It is but flimsiness holding the entire weight

Ah Self

Steps

Not yet but is to come

Perception of reality

Sometimes what is perceived is not reality at all.

I’ve been fooled!

Falling Leaves

Falling yellow leaves dotted the sky, how it reminds me of autumn day past.

Home

It is the people that makes a home.

Having Gabe and my sister over in Singapore the past few days was a beautiful blessing. Somehow it lessen the foreign and lonesome feeling I felt for the first 2 weeks and made the place a pleasing one because I had memories to keep. Maybe it’s just not people alone that makes a home.

Maybe it is the memories that you share with people that makes a place beautiful and comfortable.

Words in my ears

Sometimes you say too much, drowning my voice with your words
When all is really needed is your listening ear

Blogs with a Soul

It’s interesting to see how blogs reveal the soul within a person. It is during those times you feel connected with people in some ways. There are no more difference in class, in wealth or in skills. Underneath it all, we echo the same longing, experience the same ups and downs of life, taste the different emotions. We are after all, human being.

Food and Tragedies

Reflection on tragedies, death and terminal illness using the analogy of food that is inspired by my conversation with Gabe earlier today.

Bad food or good food. It is part of the experience in eating.

We can’t always escape eating bad food. However this does not mean we stop eating altogether after tasting some bad ones.

Maybe the bad food enhances the good ones and make it truly superb.

Likewise with life.

We can’t always escape the tragedies that befalls human being. Alongside with the good in life, we also have the bad. Do we then throw away life just because some bad happen? That is foolishness.

The bad is bad. It is often painful. However, I think it is as we experience the sorrow of this life, we begin to truly understand the heights of the joys life offer.

The bad in life is also a faint whisper that reminds us that life was never meant to be like that at the start.  Even as we shed our tears right now, we are reminded that one day all tears will be wiped away and things will be made right.

We await in hope for that day to come.

Change

Our end goal is not change. Rather it is to know Christ.

If we start from the premise of change, we miss the point of it all.
