The Story of My Life

I will paint it red, yellow, blue and green
With dashes of gold along with silver linings
A dazzling light will glow unveiling the darkest corner
Even the wise shall marvel and wonder

Birds and butterflies will be flying freely
Befriending the bats, the dragonflies and the honeybees
Wild bears shall share drinks with the deers
With no worries, they will be peers

There will be a road made up of marbles
Pearly white with precious stones
And there will be big boulders of pillars
Supporting the sheds as you walk along

Storms and typhoons may visit once in a while
And tornadoes will try to anger the sky
But nothing stops the sun, she’ll always rise
To give birth to a phoenix after a great fire.

For that greatness, it shall be remembered
The one that deceivers can never mislead
And from the seeds of goodness, it will be ripped
In due time, the harvest shall be revealed

Then the moon shall never envy the sun
Because she always have her own shine
A beauty that radiates in spectacle
Even the ocean is under her spell

A commanding respect will echo in silence
Only those awake will see that grace
After a long walk, before the road ends
There are nothing but whispers of my families and my friends.

A Place I Long To See

There is this place I long to see
A place of panoramic view and tranquility
Where the lagoon shimmers as the sun rises
And the breeze of air; so smooth… so fresh…

The mountain ranges rising up so high
As if it is gracefully kissing the bright blue sky
The birds are soaring high above the clouds
Flying through the horizon; so majestic… so proud…

And during the night are the dancing fire flies
Accompanied by the frogs singing lullabies
The winds are getting colder yet, sweeter
As it passes; so caressing… so tender…

There is this place I long to see
To cure my heart and set me free
I’ve been traveling this road yet leads me nowhere
Help me find my way… let me get there.
