Oh, the depth of a child’s faith
innocently staring, waiting,
confidently expectant
immovably hoping,
challenging my inmost being
with a deafening stance,
I am moved into deepening
a childlike faith.

Reflections
Childlike Faith
Blood Work
The probe retains no body,
solely the pressure to assay debility,
the circular rises with despise,
actual cost provisions
dismissal as answer,
more desperate when depleted,
no less fatal for burrowing birth,
welcoming the unforgiving reverie,
whose relief comes
announced by breakage,
fruitful by the familiarity of none gained,
as if last words assail from elsewhere,
the legacy still must live or see self spent,
inheritances consume...

Investment
Evading one or many,
converging to pulverize,
the who fails the intractable,
as currents clash and flow away,
an insistence for final agency,
the reply cut to occupational mandate,
behind the contours, clarity
rents communion,
careful the forgiving coercion,
able to strip left-over accounts,
by contrast, the practice flies open
to unveil the motives for its opposing claims,
community projects entail exile,
education commands wholesale absence,
militarism draws...

Beyond Business
Lose hope for anything better,
snip past timidity
to create thought,
don’t stumble on the markers,
or gather mementos,
just give way to proceed,
without seeking return,
intimate but don’t converse with procedure,
allow the notness the fullest living,
age in reverse, forward, and now,
pique desire in the unwanted
to impassion fear,
be constantly inappropriate and ill at ease,
rock nervously, to not sit safely,
yet, taste...

Sevenling: Sleepless
You forget your covenant
because you are impatient
and insist to wait:
you repeat to receive
fatigued beyond discernment
of how to give, use up your rest;
stubborn as self.

Rendezvous with Chaos
In this place, her dreams grew
Now looking back, she feels blue
‘Coz here, she’s lost her soul, too
Indeed, a sullen déjà vu!
Standing still, heart beating faster
Memories of the past seen clearly as ever
Buried emotions, mounting inside her
Silently bothered that she’s there
Sharp scent of dying yearning,
To her whole body, clinging
And she can see, in this misty...

Nicotine Love
The silent euphoria of an evaporating paper stick.
We are fading with every liberating exhale.
Our souls are satin sheets that engulf our mouths,
Chests
Lungs
Stomachs.
A mouthful of absent froth.
I crush my four-leaved clovers.
They failed to make you my perpetual oxygen.
They cannot, I cannot, have you be.
Every inhale is an otherworldly experience.
And you reach my soul and quiet...

What is Providence (the philosophy answers and theology affirms)
The creation…
From
the breath of nothing
comes
the existence of being.
Yet being
is relatively good
and the absence of good
means evil.
Providence then
keeps being as being
in continuity of good.
(This is philosophy.)
The man…
From
the promise of love
comes
a confidence and hope
to keep life in living
and not to be anxious, saying
“What shall we drink?
What shall we wear?”
Believing that
Heavenly Father
knows all man’s needs.
Providence therefore
is a fatherly...

Silence
To hear the melody of the ground, wind and sea,
A fantasy many wishes to have for free.
-
But is it really worthwhile for them to have dreams,
If what we hear are explosions, gunfires, and screams?
-
Profound sounds that produce words are all false and lies,
If these terms are used to make mankind cry and die.

What is...

Freedom
When the wind flew beyond the reverie of my mind
my dream soars to fulfill my being.
I am a man of freedom.
I am free.
Am I?
If so.
Why the church has Ten Commandments?
And failure to do so is condemnation to hell.
Why does society has set of rules?
And violation to such
is against the law.
Why I have to discern...
