since wala akong post nung friday.. eto yung pang-make-up...
this is a poem i wrote for my Bro (my bestfriend) on his 18th bday...
Moving my way through this intricate maze
Confused and weary, I cease my journey
Ceaseless, meaningless and pointless, I say
What awaits? Don’t care! Come what may!
Along the way, a visible light materializes
Cutting through the dark, the sun emerges
He asks, “Why quit? Start moving!”
I answer, “Why bother? Quit asking!”
Right that moment, he insists
“With persistence, life becomes clear
Perplexed so it seems, complications disappear
To someone who believes in Fate and himself!”
Kind deeds for support, nice words to comfort
Laughs or cries, the sun has been there
Lighting my day, paving my way
With hope, I change. I relive.
Jauntily, with the sun on my side, I embark again
To the labyrinth, we move on once more
Rays of light guide my path this time
I tell the sun, “Thank you for shining. I am not astray.”
Absurdly, I have forgotten the ultimate reality
Nothing stays forever but change
The sun has to set for the night to come
With the creeping darkness, I become worried and scared
Marching my way, this time alone and disappointed
Confused and dreary, again, I postpone my journey
Ponder a while to remember the times
When the sun was there, telling me to make my way
Eagerly, I stand tall, amidst the darkness I go
As I walk through, I patiently wait
Along the way, I stumble
I am bleeding. I am wounded. I am nowhere.
Shedding tears and blood, I again walk as the sun told
Remembering his words and deeds, uplifted I feel
Suddenly a visible light materializes
Beaming through the darkness, the sun rises
I am safe.
I whisper, “Thank you for shining. I am not astray.”
