A Blessing

On weekends, when I'm home having all the time in the world, I'm always inspired by some little things that happen around me. For instance, when waking up early in the morning, the sounds of early birds which are always chirpy makes me feel so blessed being able to hear the music of nature that is so unique. They sing in a melody so sweet; the meanings known to themselves. They are so care-free; they are so happy!

Nature is always very close to my heart. I open the window of my bedroom and soft morning light gently lands on my skin. It's still very early when everyone else is still snoring in bed. In my little world, I love seeing everything around me. There's a hill near-by and oil palm trees look so soldier-like lining up in straight rows. The lush of green gives some kind of therapy to a tired mind after a whole week of draining the energy for what keeps me alive - work.

The cockerels from the near-by coop are also taking part in the morning's orchestra, producing some kind of energy that boosts me to feel today is another fruitful day. It may not be so but I am already feeling good!

Oh! The morning breeze makes those banana's leaves sway like petite dancers. At the back yard, my rambutan fruit trees are making me proud because they are now bearing lots of rambutans. Rambutans are tropical fruits which are round in shape, the size of a ping pong ball, hairy skins and the flesh is so juicy and sweet, white in color. The skins differ; some are red, some yellow.

How could  I not be spell-bound by many things amazing, beautiful and unexplained in my little mind, around my little world? How could I not wish this nature's beauty to last forever? How could I not sigh when the hills near-by are flattened and up goes the steel poles and my heart breaks for my little friends without a place call home?

I wish to hear the birds sing an endless song. I wish those hills to stay majestic. I wish the sun to stay gentle on my skin without biting me hard. I wish the world to stay greener.

Tears In The Rain

My dear friend, Elen Lackner of  Nacionalidad-uruguaya, residente en-Buenos Aires, Argentina had honored me by creating this beautiful video and reciting my poem, Tears In The Rain, which I posted here on Friday June 15th 2012. Elen gave me such a very pleasant surprise and I just can't thank her enough for her kindness and generosity  for this much appreciated video and poem recital. This is for the first time ever someone did such a great favor to me and I am so proud of Elen for presenting me something  which I myself couldn't do.

Elen is such a great woman, being a Profesora de música, she could play piano well. Please, feel free to check out her blogs *Videos de Elen Lackner* and Elen Lackner-poemas de amor-piano. You will find her great creativity there.

To my dear Elen, words aren't enough to show my gratitude towards you. You know how much I love your work and hearing your voice makes me feel so close to you. We are separated thousand of miles apart but the beauty of friendship had united us. From the tropical island of Borneo to Argentina, I send you my heart. I wish to say thank you so much right from the bottom of my heart.

O Flower of Purity, Why are you wilting in the showering  rain

when you should be so fresh and pleases the eyes of the beholder?

The sweetness of the smiles between two hearts had gone

in its place lies the  unseen tears in the rain, the soul battered badly

Flower of Purity, loving thoughts for you are for eternity

and engraved in the deepest fold of the heart, warming it from coldness

Your sweet scent will linger in the air,  a solace to a weeping heart.

A Beautiful Poem Brings Back Sweet Memories

It is typical of me reading again some of the texts and notes used during my tertiary education.  I was going through my usual routine of arranging my books, magazines and files when I came across this beautiful poem in one of my old files. That was when I was a student years back. I forgot where I got it but I did mention, "I don't write this poem and I don't know who did. But I like it, as it shows how I feel towards friends."

I am against plagiarism and I made it clear at the side bar by saying "Plagiarism Is Unethical." Whoever wrote this poem and if it happens you read this, please let me know so that I can acknowledge and credit it or if you wish it be removed, I will immediately do so.

This poem has been in my file for so many years and I like every line which is so meaningful. Today, I am sharing it with all of you with credit to the unknown author.

If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty,
On the days you are feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain,
You could call your very own,
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles,
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I am finding,
Are impossible for me.

I cannot find a mountain,
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me say what I know best,
A friend that's always there.


Isn't it beautiful? I really love this poem because it makes me feel friends are so close to my heart. Wherever you are my friends, I love you all for being my friends! *smile*

How the days fly! It's Thursday! Outside, it's raining, a mild one, the rain taps the roof gently. It's early morning and a cold one which I'm so thankful after days of hot weather. The weather had been quite harsh lately. I felt as if it was biting my skin! That was the time when I wished I was staying at home.

On another note, I wish to extend my thanks to everyone visiting this simple blog. Thank you so much for taking your time to drop by. It really means a lot to me. You guys are simply awesome!

The roses above are for everyone of you. Wishing you guys a fruitful day ahead and do make the best of your time! Remember to carry a smile with you! :)

Haiku - The Juice Of Life

Life smiles at the world,
Morning glows in songs of birds,
A gift so divine.


Dews rest on flowers,
In a Garden of Beauty,
A great juice of life.
