thanks

Thanks

In the midst of darksome night

There's a brilliant glow of east twilight

A single ray you shine far and wide

Trying your best to give the world a brand new light

You've shared with us everything you know

Taught us about the world that's going to unfold

You told us that it'll forever be only a vision

If we ourselves don't uphold our own convictions

We've learned that true happiness comes

When material and Divine civilization are one

Both will fall if without the other

The only way is to progress together

You have taught us where true beauty lies

In an idea, a theory, one's character, even in a child's eyes

If one's outer eye is so accustom to ugliness

The inner eye can't fully serve its purpose

We've realized that there's only one reality and one truth

And that we fragment them into different groups

Man has been created noble by God

Why do we choose the path to rot?

The nobility of human being can only be

Expressed through a life of service

One should be the source of joy to others

And know that all of us is a leader

You've shown us that learning is never ending

And humility serves as a base for a true posture of learning

The more we learn the less we know

Be like a tree, the more fruits abound

The closer it bows to the ground

Faced with the disastrous effect of social disintegration

We've come to realize the importance of transformation

We should lay the foundations of a world civilization

The fairest fruit of thousands of years of social evolution

You've lead us on a discourse on social action

And gave each one of us a special mission

Mere words can't really express our thanks

To thee, a guide, a special friend!

Life

(Especially dedicated to Erica and Mei Xia for their life saving efforts!)

With dull eyes and constant shiver
He stayed still powerlessly in the drain
It may have been days over
Waiting for someone to ease its pain

Green fungus covered his abdomen
His limbs are filled with open wounds
The drain is just his height’s high
Yet he wouldn’t, he couldn’t

Water is draining his strength away
His body is agitating with pain;
His eyes have no room for hope to stay
As he watched them pass by again and again

He put his head down with a sigh
The coldness of people is killing from within
He closed his eyelids tight
There’s not a single ray of light can be seen

As the clock of life is ticking weakly
He felt something wrapped around him
It’s a touch that is so heavenly
And he opens his eyes to take a glimpse

“Finally there’s someone who noticed me
Who cherish life even how small it seems
There’s no way I can thanks thee
For the strength and hope you restore in me”

Life is precious, life is a gift
Cherish all lives as you would to yours
For all have only one life to live
Be it a man, an ant, or a dog in the drain!

fall

Feelings come
And feelings go
Maybe some are just
Not meant to be shown

Be bold to let go
Or gather strength
Follow your heart
To let it show

Whichever path you choose
Make sure you can wake up
With no regrets or guilt

And through every fall
We learn how to stand tall

words

Words

Words can be encouraging

To us a smile it brings

Words can be deceiving

Blurring the truth of everything

Words can be uplifting

Healing souls with all means

Words can be hurtful

Like a spear it pierce right through

Words hold promises

About a tomorrow we all yearn

Words can be poison

Bringing no benefit to any person

Words can be honey

Soothing everyone that needs a remedy

Words can bring despair

Like clouds of storm darken the days

Words can bring hope

Like rays of light lighten up the road

Words can be anything

Anything you want it to be

So be sure to utter after you think

For words are the builders of memories

myself and i

I found myself today
Starring at the crossroad
Not a word to say

I moved towards me
Put up a smile
So I can see

I turned myself away
With frust and fear,
This is not the day

I reached for me
Swiftly I pulled
I merged with me

A rush I felt n I knew
Life just keeps going on
N there’s no time to start anew

Turns after turns
The road ahead is long
Twisted and no return

I held my head high
Pray to God for signs
And head out without a sigh

Choices are to be made
There’s no wrong or right
Courage is all it takes

I will be strong
And I will hold on
Even if it’s me all along

N I won’t break down
Because deep in me I knew
Sooner life’ll turns around

some say life

Some say life
Is like a river
With an endless
Flowing endeavour

Some say life
Is like a theater
And all of us
Are it's characters

Some say life
Is like a flower
It grows, it blooms
Finally it withers

Some say life
Is like a dream
When you open your eyes
Everything'll be fine

Some say life
Is like a puzzle
And we strive each day
To put the pieces together

I say life
Is like a journey
And we won't make it
Without each other

letting go

A kite longs to soar
As a bird yearns to be free
A seed willingly dispersed
As far as it can see

Peoples long to keep
Lovers within their reach
And friends closer still
Leaving no space in between

Yet when you grasps too tight
Everything begins to slip
Like a tender patch of sand
In our tiny lil hand

And sometimes all it takes
Is to open up our hands
Maybe some wanna soar
There’s a joy called letting go
