Consider the lilies, the lovely-blossoming wild flower in the pond, in the valley or in your garden where they love to grow. They will bring, beauty, fragrance and color to the place where you see them. Just enough light from the sun and enough atmosphere, they will grow gradually. How simple? Their needs, undemanding and uncomplicated. How they grow beautifully? How our eyes admire the beauty they possess? They feel so relax, calm and rested.
When the wind blow- they go on with the flow. When the rain drizzle-heavily pouring, strong and dark rain drenches their lovely petals, still,.. they stay charming in its striking colours. Even then, they grow lovelier each day…makes you think how do they grow? They toil not, drudgery not at all. Nevertheless, they grow… beautifully and admirably. How can I not admire their beauty? And, how I desire to remain strong like them…even wildly strong…even then?
Have you ever spot these ageless beauty during spring? When everything turns green and growing…they bloom perfectly on a seamless scenery… smiling towards the eyes of the beholder. Who can resist? The summer sun shines upon them, entertaining them on its rays. A time when “Tulips begin to bloom and the roses starts to flower, so the lilies blossom”. Then, the breeze of autumn will leave no room to retain their petals, but their roots will uphold, holding on till the atmosphere will change. And, when the winter pours with its onerous snow, dancing flakes landed, over brimming the pond, taking hold of the valley and linger the moment of its greyish and whiteness till next seasons under heaven will claim. Yet again, they rise with its exquisite petals, sturdy stalks and form a fresh mode of daintiness. Their refining manners will once again claim the “Beauty of the Valley”.
Like them, how I esteem their beauties? How I desire their strong upbringing? They remained so strong under the callous and severe weather. Their characteristic are seem wild yet gentle to the soul. How I desire to acquire their tame wildness? Even though, they’ve been through the rough times and harsh seasons- they remain so lovely, so strong and sooooo unique.
How I desire to acquire their unique qualities? And, how I love to possess their own characteristics? How I wanted to stay strong despite of people’s disapproval? How I stay unaffected by people’s sharp tongue?
Like the lilies……I wanted to fight not with sharp words which could kill someone’s spirit, not with bitterness nor callousness. Teaching my heart not to pay greediness but kindness. I wanted to remain my saccharine sweetness and my eagerness to search love at best.
Pictures were taken @Botanical Garden in Montreal, summer of 2008.
I put the rhythms and rhymes together
I scribbled pain of a soulful wanderer
I carved the words of painful goodbye;
And engraved the colour of the sky.
I sat endlessly, thinking wordlessly…
I reconsider life the way it seems
But no meanings the way it means..
I sang mellow songs and its melodies,
Swayed to the music being played,
Danced to the tune of music on air,
Heart the song as long as I can remember.
How come words seem not to linger?
Like a snake body, slipping through my finger.
What if it vanish forever?
Oh, God…help me to remember!
Vegetable Soup @ Sushi Supreme. It’s all about soy sauce.
If you can take a sauce out of the soy,
I will gladly sip its nectar as well as enjoy…
If you can catch the floating cucumber
in a basin-like bowl….
I will cherish the taste and
linger its flavor…,
if the catching game ain’t over yet
and the abnormal spoon couldn’t absorbed like net;
Give up the fishing game and
smack the veggies with …ehm..chopstick!
but…, if all vegetable soup tasted like this…
It’s better to be a meat lover and never change.

When things go wrong
And confusion is too strong
Don’t fret nor hide
We’re always on your side.
When happiness seem so far away
Bend your knees and starts to pray;
He will hear the words whatever you say
And enough gladness will soon portray.
When problems are too hard to bear
Remember your friends who truly care
Sadness and gloomy days will soon disappear
We’re waiting a moment for you to share.
When snow comes, soon there will be spring
As the warm summer, holds the rain
November breeze leaves were falling
snowflakes pouring on window pane,
Seasons under heaven comes not in vain.
Life is like four seasons under the sun
Spring, summer, winter and fall,
Comes every year over the land
Whatever weather your life is on,
Bear in mind that it’s the way of life after all.

See the green and blue
There’s a shade of green
and almost everything is blue;
As always been…
Trace of gray in its lighter view.
A touch of white, the floating yacht
and a tint of seamless black.
Undying light from the sun,
Creates a glitter onto ocean
Silver lining up above…
Thanking God for his Love!
