Just the Little Things

 

In the chaos of the days that fast sway,

Just the little things of life often slip away.

We complicate what’s so simple and clear,

Missing the magic and joy that’s always here.

 

A kind word whispered, the comfort of a gentle touch,

The laughter of friends, oh we miss so much!

A radiant smile of a child, so pure and bright,

A hug that’s warm, these little things to delight.

 

A smile exchanged on a busy street,

The way the rain taps a gentle beat,

The warmth of sun, the feel of sand,

The everyday miracles are close at hand.

 

The fragrance of tea in a quiet park,

A favourite book and a hopeful spark.

For in these little things we see,

The essence of life’s purest glee.

 

We chase the grand, the far-off dreams,

Yet happiness is in simple streams,

For in the simplicity of little things we see,

The essence of life’s purest glee.

Echoes of Absence

In the silent spaces between heartbeats,

Is the quiet aftermath of shattered dreams.

Promises whispered, now lost in the mist,

As our souls part ways with a tender lingering twist.

A journey once begun with hearts entwined,

Now diverges, leaving memories behind.

A love once vibrant, now fades to grey,

As shadows lengthen at the close of day.

In dreams, we meet on a distant shore, 

Where time stands still, and pain is no more. 

But morning breaks, and I face the day, 

With echoes of absence that won't fade away.

In the tapestry of life, threads rearrange,

With separation’s embrace, a chapter to change.

So let us honor the love that bloomed bright,

In its transitioning, let us find some strength and light.

For in the art of separation's embrace,

We discover strength, we find our grace.

To cherish what was, and bid farewell,

To welcome the unknown where dreams propel.

So onward we journey, hearts renewed,

In the canvas of life, colors imbued.

With each step forward, a healing dawn,

Embracing the beauty of letting go and moving on.

By The Light of The Moon

I see a shy, quiet moon tonight,
In the radiance of the purest light.
Hiding in thick clouds, hanging in the air,
The moonlight wisdom is for us to share.
I listen as you define this sensation,
The miracle of our intimate connection.
What makes me weep when I make my tune?
Tonight again by the light of the moon.

In the moon’s silver white reflection,
I see Master’s marvelous perfection.
Imitates amazingly as the moon appears,
Varying patterns of my own behaviors.
Smiling often, with its crescent curves,
But some nights, dissolves in clouds of tears.
Shines brightly like a brilliant sun,
But tonight seems He’s missing someone.

Every night you embrace me tenderly,
In our endless conversations wordlessly.
Like a new moon, once more I must begin,
The winds will bring back the colours again.
One day my pain will become my cure,
As for the moon's light, there’s sun for sure!
What makes me weep when I make my tune?
Tonight again by the light of the moon.

When Tears Are just Not Enough.wmv

A soul grieving in the hope of release,
I need you friend, don’t forget me please.
My life is a little in despair,
A reason to smile, can’t find anywhere.
 My words to you are just a few,
“Need You to Care, Please Can You?

Bare feet I walk up to miles,
Hunting for shelter my heart cries.
The day ends with no piece of bread,
I feel I am better off dead!
Days of hunger and sleepless nights,
No more I find the strength to fight.

All around I see people die,
And I see my folks cry.
I swear I cannot take it,
Yet I try, so hard I try!
Our lost serenity will we ever regain,
Or will we long harbor the pain?

Hurting carries on,
Never seems to go away.
Bring us a better tomorrow,
So we forget our today!
Want to get out of the black cloud now,
But need someone to show me how!

My life will never be a luxury
I know, but I can’t take this misery.
I hope God hears me pray,
And sends you to show me a way.
As all I need is a single ray,
Just for a little brighter day.

I put aside the grieving,
And try to be strong.
I wipe away the tears,
As life must go on!
But how do I move on, there’s no place to go,
Are you there for me? Is all I want to know…

A Gracious Call

I hear no words but You talk to me,
Like the waves hitting the shore silently.
I touch no being and I see not with open eyes,
In my soul your kingdom resides.
I feel my aura dancing in bright constancy,
Heart making lyrics, soul singing divine testimony.

Oh Glory, is it You who is calling me?

I say I want to hear Your voice,
And thunder rolls over the skies!
I say Oh Lord, Speak to me!
And the birds utter silently.
I tell you Oh God let me see You,
And the stars shine so brightly!
Oh I see the world like never before,
The trees, the mountains, the seas and the shore.
I seek you in rivers deep, the skies high, the people I see,
Oh Gracious! I feel this is You who‘s calling me!

Unfold to me the divine phantasm,
And spread out for me what yet is unknown.
Hold my hands and take me further,
Within myself and even beyond
Show me the secrets of light, the mysteries of dark.
Further from limits and beyond the control,
Let it happen to me, Oh Lord! Let it happen to me.
As I know this is You who is calling me!

Walking With Waves

Walking with the waves,
I went talking with the rays.
In the cool winter night,
Under the half moon light.

I could hear You so loud,
Under the dark blue cloud.
And a star shone so bright,
As my heart reflecting light.

Loud noise of the waves I heard,
Yet the sea so calm, I wondered.
Like loud cries of constancy,
In silent dialogues of You and me.

I felt the heaven so warm,
With You holding me in Your arm.
How loud waves settle down at ease?
Frantic patience, my heart agrees!

As I walked along the shore,
Inside me, I heard lions roar.
Like a prisoned entity I may be,
And my soul urging to be free!
