THE ALCHEMY OF LIFE

Pilgrims in this journey called Life

Coming from One Source,

One Universe with swirling different worlds

Dancing, in a mass of Infinite Web

One fine day our souls will collide,

When our Higher Selves meet at the epicenter

We all long to follow the Light

The illustrious beauty that never fades,

Of the invisible thread that binds every little thing.

Each one of us is more than just an atom

Which suddenly appeared out of this cosmic journey.

Across the horizon, I see Angels preparing for a banquet

Waiting for our return to our One True Home

Do you want to chase the Light at the end of the tunnel?

Or you would want to go back to the life you once borrowed?

Spirits transcending into another realm,

No pain, no suffering but only eternal happiness remains

I see you smiling in the afterglow,

And it finally dawned on me, I am truly Home.

UNDEFINED LOVE

Dawn is about to set

Here I am still thinking of you

Your shadow vanishing in the moonlit night,

I walked the dark path to realize you’re not there

Were you just an illusion, a dream, or created by pure imagination

All I know is that you possess those pair of eyes that glimmer in the dark

That even if I get lost anywhere in this world, I may find myself again in you,

You’re more than the word Love itself for I cannot simply define how you swept me off my feet

A meager stare from you sets my heart in so much commotion

And hearing you call my name in such an intricate way sets my soul on fire,

Find me again, take my hand and let’s go to the end of the world

There at the tower let us watch the moon while some clouds dance in the background

As the splashing of waves make sounds while we walk by the shoreline barefooted,

Feeling the warm sand beneath our feet with a mild breeze brushing our cheeks

Find me again in another lifetime where we could define this eternal love we share transcending time and space.

THE BEAUTY IN SOLITUDE

Stillness…

Sometimes a deafening silence can speak a thousand meanings

Rather than  uttering senseless words covered with rage

Discovery of one’s self and of one’s real calling comes when you are in deep solitude

Modern lives envelope us with fast-paced and hurried day to day grind

Not having enough precious time to stop and reflect on things that truly matter

There is beauty in solitude if we just get to realize how it is vital to truly listen to our hearts

You can ponder on things out of being in solitude or solitary confinement

It is in lovely solitude that you can ponder who you truly are

And what is your ultimate calling or mission in this world

Immerse yourself in deep solitude  for silence should not be threatening at all

Answers to questions which keep us wondering all this time can be found in sincere solitude

Tranquility…

Real solitude can be found within the silence of the deep recesses of our hearts

Thoughts that plague your mind consuming your soul

Can be made calm in the beautiful tranquility of your being

So much can be discovered and unraveled

In the beauty of solitude.
