GOD Resides

An innocent child believes. . .

GOD lives beyond the clouds,
Far and up away in the sky,
Where birds could not fly.

There are people who declare. . .

Their God resides at the mountaintop,
On the highest peak of the mountain,
Where ordinary man could not attain.

While there are others who speak. . .
Their God lives inside a cave,
In the darkest underground cavity,
Where only them could see.

Where GOD does really resides?. . .

It is not a question at all,
For in the mind and heart of a believer,
GOD’s existence is bright and clear.

GOD dwells in a very special place. . .

Where everlasting life is found within,
But HE could also be everywhere,
To console us when we have fear.

The Vagabond (Who are we to judge You?)

STEP; seems an endless walk you make,

Towards an unknown direction, you take.
Your body is sheltered with dust and dirt,
Others perceive you as a picture of mirth.

RUN; when pursued by some rascals,

The unkind and foolish individuals,
People who want to make fun of you,
They are more insane because of what they do.

EAT; the spoiled food you found,

Scavenged from the trash around,
That even a dog will not dare to taste,
In your eyes, it is a meal and not a waste.

SLEEP; to wherever you want to take a rest,

May it under a tree or in the side street,
For every corner could be your resting place,
It is your home where you find solace.

Who are we to judge you?, or

Humiliate and condemn the things you do.
Who are we to say you are insane?
For in the eyes of GOD, we are all the same.

Katahimikan

“Alam mo ba kung saan ka papunta?”

Mga katagang halaw mula sa isang kanta.
Gusto mo ba ang mga bagay na iyong nakikita?
O nais mo ng pagbabago sa isang kisapmata.

Nagmamasid ka ba sa iyong paligid?

Naririnig mo ba ang mga balita sa himpapawid?
Sa malalim na dagat ay nasubukan mo na bang sumisid?
At damhin ang katahimikan sa ilalim ng tubig.

Nais mo bang makaalpas kahit panandalian lamang?
Mula sa magulong mundo na iyong ginagalawan.
Nais mo bang masumpungan ang katahimikan?
At mamuhay ng mapayapa magpakailanman.

Pagbabago, ang malimit isigaw ng isip mo,

Ang mabago ang mga bagay na hindi mo gusto.
Katahimikan, ay hangad din ng iyong puso,
Subalit napakailap; Kailan kaya makakamtan ito?

Kung ang mundo na iyong ginagalawan,

Ay balot ng pighati at kaguluhan.
Kung ang katahimikan ay di mo rito masumpungan,
Sa dako pa roon, tiyak ito’y iyong masisilayan.

Tunguhin mo ang liwanag na kumukutitap,

Na maaring sa ngayon ay di mo pansin ang kislap,
Dahil sa paningin mo ito’y aandap-andap,
Subalit naroon ang katahimikan na iyong hinahanap.

Ang paglalakbay ay simulan mo na ngayon,

Patungo sa liwanag sa dako pa roon.
Ang pag-aalinlangan ay dapat mong itapon,
Naghihintay ang DIYOS na SIYA’y iyong matunton.
