First snowy evening

The snow is falling
One foot thick
On the ground it stays
The blanket white
And purity
Thinking of my days

The house is warm and heated
Bundled up stay warm
My energy low, undefeated
I’ll still stay linger on

Ponder on my kids and loves
If they saw this would rejoice
I know theyre safe in Singapore
Secure in their choice

Saw a picture baby new
a tear did pass my eyes
I call on lord to comfort me
He who hears my cries

Remember days of children young
Cradled in my arms
Never dreamed we would part ways
Protect them from all harms

The blanket thick of this white snow
Patience mantle thin
Do not forebode whats coming next
My outlook never grim

I know this is a test for me
Who asked for patience long
Ill grow in faith and purity
Perhaps path not so long

grudge

The people bear a grudge
The one they wont forget
And burn the future dear
Until their death they get

The people wont forgive
Forever bear a grudge
Don’t give a chance to live
In anger choose to trudge

Don’t they know they see
We discard future chance
Chose to burn in fury
Throw the chance to dance

If they only knew
To forgive set them free
Whats use to hang on hurt
Is fury all they see

If they only knew
With future give a chance
Forgive and live with love
Give happy thoughts a chance


How many have I seen
Who swore never forgive
And weep so loud and scream
When loved ones ceased to live

How loud their oath and swear
Burned by their own words
If only they forgave
Would not face the absurd

The chance to live their life
That chance to smile a while
Forgive dare set heart free
Let not evil beguile

Too many times I failed
In this same very hole
Buried myself deep
A clown most suiting role

self metamorphosis

I’m not the man I was
Forever scarred and changed
The wrinkles clear and grey
The sands of time untamed

The sights I have now seen
Unspoken horrors deep
The fool who tempted fate
Most times feel so meek

The change to new born self?
Did not search for this trip
The life of past burned up
Feeling such ill fit

The change that must be made
If only to self save
Do not resist this path
Painful and depraved

The time it must move
With soul that must go forth
Futile resistance
And this they call it growth

Mundane penance

A word my thoughts to share
Mundane ,feel not a thing
In sweaters bundled warm
Feel not the urge to sing

The hours spent in vain
With pleas never heard
Alone now common place
Love turned to absurd

Forgiveness know it not
Forgiveness of myself
A critic harsh I am
This story I Can’t sell

Indeed injury deep
My path I’ve felt much pain
This self-growth so hard
And story seems so plain

I know from this I’ll rise
Perhaps this penance clear
Mend the soul that’s broke
Restore to strangers dear

First snows

The first snow of the year
A blanket of pure white
The green trees painted cold
The stinging wind that bites

The air its cold below
Below zero proclaims
With all seen bundled up
To love this, true insane

The purity of it all
For me does not forebode
Sitting in warm house
Truly more than bored

The people tread in haste
Complain of chattering teeth
A lovely chance to rest
Admire the beauty deep

How wondrous is this plan
From summers heat to cold
The variance amazed
Excitement times of old

Remember first snows
Teenagers and snow fights
Look to the beauty deep
This isn’t wrong,, its right

Do not regret this plan
Let nature take its coarse
Admire change rebirth
The true root heavens mirth
