SunFlower



Golden-rayed petals
Adder her radiance
Your exquisiteness
Captivates every man of the cloth
Your charm illuminates like the flower that blossoms
When beamed by sunlight
Your vitality strikes amongst all the gentle
Beholds their sight on you




You are the only sunflower that blooms
in stormy Winter.
So unearthly,
Oddly menacing
Thy yellow petals fall in Spring
Perilously untouched by Fall
Even the hottest of the Summer
Barely touches thy brilliance
Explicitly possessed
By the earth's seasons.

Sapagkat Mayroong Pag-asa





Ang gabi ay maging napakadilim man
Masarap pa rin ang magpahinga ng walang agam-agam
'Yung pipikit ang mga mata sa gitna ng karimlan
Na natapos na ang araw...
Umaga naman ay muling masisilayan


Masarap abangan ang kasunod na pagtupad
Pinananabikan saanman mapadpad
Masarap din tuparin ang tungkulin kapag may suliranin
Lalo na kapag alam mo na ang Ama ay sasama sa atin


Huwag kang matakot sa mga pagsubok
Ang Ama ay aalalay, at tutulong sa iyo ng lubos
Iingatan Ka niya sa gitna ng unos
Pagtatagumpayin ka sa lahat ng lunos

Broken Wings



"Broken Wings"

Sitting under the shade of a tree with
nothing else to do,
Gazing at the people come and go while
staring at you.
Impressively, people are sedolous  with
their own lives,
Engage and tied-up in their work as
they strive.

I saw birds with broken wings as it crawled
down and cried,
Wingless birds on the ground besieging as
they subside,
Aiding then until they're well enough to
soar up to the sky,
Until that very day the birds flew and said 
goodbye.

As I see them flying above me, flying so
jolly,
I felt something that words can't describe,
A sensation of joy and despair at the same
time.
And as the birds thanked me and flew away,
They didn't look down to see if I was
alright...

If only they could see how pathetic a person 
I am,
They'd have regrets, griefs, woes, and
sorrows,
But they're so blinded  with their daily lives,
forgetting something they couldn't 
describe.
While looking and hoping to fly higher and
higher,
Forgetting that there's someone who can't even fly.



I wonder how it feels like to be flying
Soaring​ up and up,
without nothing to worry.
I'll spread my wings up and fly easy,
Enjoying the breeze and thinking nothing.
I wonder if I will still look down,
When I'm that high in the sky aiding others
 so we could fly high, or
 Look up further and soar up higher?
 Forgetting something that really matters.

Entering The Promised Land

(two-minute read)

I was contemplating earlier while listening to the "texto" from our minister - about entering in the Holy City...

(in relation to at least for those who have landed a job or looking for a job)
It dawned on me that as we strive to choose and crave to enter our dream company to work with, that as we look or hop from one job to another to find that perfect place of work. Ain't it true that we go through series of interviews? ... We go through series of tests, and even background checks?

There are also times we are sent home from all we thought it's going to be already the job offer, but at the end of the day, we ended up receiving - "we'll keep you posted through call or text on the result of your final interview".

We dread and get anxious as we are nearing final interviews, whether we  make or break it. We also get to experience difficulties, sacrifices, we sweat for it, physically, emotionally & mentally - before achieving that goal - to land to that dream job or classified to belong on that chosen company.



As i ponder on these thoughts earlier, it came like a rushing of waterfalls down to my head that entering in the Holy Kingdom of God (applicable for those who believe in faith) is just as difficult as it should, or it is really difficult to accomplish - it's NO EASY task, that is! Because the reward, simply put, is the eternal life - beyond words to compare, beyond imagination to fathom.

Therefore, it is but right to persevere when you have already given the chance to study the truth. It is only right to strive, and deny thyself as needed just so you can prioritize in seeking the truth. Come what may... may it be even hunger, pain or strife, even death - for it will all be worth it, in the end -when you found peace in Him.
