Death to Life

On that natal day came death

A new life born out of  both;

A misery for the mortal,

A mystery for the immortal

Ups and downs await the mortal

But misery need not always follow;

What awaits the immortal, one knows not;

May it  remain a mystery for the mortal

What lies ahead is not in the hands of the mortal

Neither is what lies beyond;

If death is the birth of a new life,

I wish you  blithesomeness

Smile

For ten years, I had almost forgotten who you were,

Until you suddenly popped online;

All the childhood memories recalled

What happend during those ten years?

I do not know, but it feels good to be in touch again;

The clock is ticking and the days are passing by

Its been roughly two years since the re-discovery;

The past twelve years have brought us up to adulthood,

But my memories of you are still from those childhood days;

Things came by beyond our expectations,

What lies ahead of us, we cannot judge;

But I can never imagine your loss,

Nor will I ever understand;

My friend, all I can offer you is my prayers

Twelve years may have gone by,

But I still remember the sweet smile of that kid;

Do smile for Him too

My Yellow Rose

My yellow rose

Did I even know what it meant?

They say it represents-

Friendship, Joy, Gladness,

Sunshine, a new beginning,

And jealously;

I never knew it all,

But it was my sunshine;

Remember that funeral bouquet we delivered?

It was also yellow;

Wish I could relive it,

Except for the funeral

Yellow roses, I always loved them,

Yellow roses, I love them still,

Yellow roses, I will always love them,

But I never thought I'd turned it towards the grave;

My yellow rose

I never imagined I'd lay it on your eternal cradle;

My yellow rose

You were my sunshine,

You still are;

Wherever you are

Wherever you may be;

I will  keep on laying yellow roses on your six feet under

Sojourney

I wanted to run away from home
So I did
I wanted to see what lies beyond my cocoon
So I did
I wanted to see the greatness of the world
So I did
I wanted to follow my passion
So I did
I wanted to find out life's purpose
So I did
I wanted to see God
So I did
I wanted to go home
But I can't

Like a butterfly I flew away from home
Experiencing life beyond the cozy den
Finding a new meaning to life
Pursuing a dream
I will continue my sojourney
Till the day I reach my eternal home

My Yellow Rose

My yellow rose

Did I even know what it meant?

They say it represents-

Friendship, Joy, Gladness,

Sunshine, a new beginning,

And jealously;

I never knew it all,

But it was my sunshine;

Remember that funeral bouquet we delivered?

It was also yellow;

Wish I could recall it,

But not the funeral

Yellow roses, I always loved them,

Yellow roses, I love them still,

Yellow roses, I will always love them,

But I never thought I'd turned it towards the grave;

My yellow rose

I never imagined I'd lay it on your eternal cradle;

My yellow rose

You were my sunshine,

You still are;

Wherever you are

Wherever you may be;

I will  keep on laying yellow roses on your six feet under

The Silent Hustle

I have spoken
I have sung
I have cried out loud
I have shouted
But it is in the silence that I think;
I read, listen and observe in the silence
It is the inaudible voice which I always hear;
The silence hustled and bustled in my head.
I grew up and learned in the silence
I never realized the magnitude;
Until it opened my eyes
And I understood and saw life

Saved to Live

It was a dreadful day

A kite on the loose

A kid on the loose

Off with the rope the kid went

And walked off the building

Seconds later, the child cries

Tongue slit in half, jaws dislocated

That could have been a fateful day

If God hadn't shown his mercy

God has his plans

But no one knows

He had saved and chosen us to live

And fulfill His purpose

We may not know what lies ahead of us

But we must fulfill his purpose

He lives for us and so must we
