OUT OF PLACE

Help me.. I'm out of place..
I've come from far away place
I'm different
I don't fit in

Help me.. I'm out of place..
I don't want to stand out in the strange crowd
I'm uncomfortable
I'm lonely inside

Help me.. I'm out of place..
I don't want to feel miserable
I'm willing to adapt
I just don't know how

Help me.. I'm out of place..
I don't want to quietly disappear
I want my home
I just need someone to make me feel loved and accepted..

 This wild flower suddenly appeared in the backyard, alone..

These cactus grow in the flower bed around the back terrace..

 

This dumb bell is hiding inside a pot, underneath a plant..

... and ...

This duster is somehow 'hiding' inside a large leave plant..

It is very interesting to see that so many things are often 'misplaced' in our life. We can feel alone, different, left out, misunderstood or even wronged, just because we don't feel belong..

The most important thing is, that we understand ourselves, we accept others and we deal with every situation we face with confidence.. believing that being different is a blessing..

Sometimes..

Sometimes..
The best way to pursue success is..
By closing one eye and covering one ear..

Closing one eye can help us focus..
While..
Covering one ear can help us select the voices we need to hear..

God's Ways

People say God works in mysterious ways
I say God works in the wisest ways..

When HE took our pillar of wisdom
I thought we would fall apart
But then I learned that HE wanted us to be stronger together and wiser..

People say God works in mysterious ways
I say God works in the most enlightening ways..

When HE took our torch of knowledge
I thought that we would be lost
But then I learned that HE wanted us to start enlightening our minds and share the sparks with others..

People say God works in mysterious ways
I say God works in the most loving ways..

When HE took my comfort of love
I thought I would freeze along with my aching heart and dripping tears
But then I learned that HE wanted me to see that it was my time to build better world of love for others..

People say God works in mysterious ways
I say God works in the most balanced ways..

Amidst my strive to hold my tears
Trying to find a way out of the seemingly unbearable nights
HE showed me my limits
And he offered me HIS consolation..

HE sent me a beautiful gem to wipe my tears away
And to heal the open wounds

HE gave me a chance to recover
And to learn that.. Behind each grieve, there is a gift

Because HE will never try us exceeding our strength
Because.. HE is the best healer..

People say God works in mysterious ways
I say God works in the perfect ways..

With each one HE took, HE left a mark in me
A thread of wisdom to light my heart
A spark of knowledge to enrich my mind
A beautiful love to wrap my soul with..

It Is Quiet Tonight

It is quiet tonight..
without voices of the dark

It is quiet tonight..
without nightmares of the past

It is quiet tonight..
without regret of unintended mistakes

It is quiet tonight..
without fear of tomorrow's heartbreak

It is quiet tonight..
with contentment of one's present existence

When Friendship Was Not Enough

I tried to warn you
that this wasn't enough for us

You convinced me
that I wasn't the one you were looking for...

I tried to explain
that you couldn't be taking without giving

You were persistent
that you expected someone who could give you more...

Then I decided
to let go...

Until one day...

You made a demand
out of desperation...

And I had to cry saying 'No'
as my heart shattered into millions

And I had to wall my soul
as each memory froze it in matter of seconds...

Then I closed my world from you
as the slightest thought would leave a deep wound

Then I pretended that 'We' still existed
as each time I told the truth I had to relive the moment...

But I survived
believing it was for the best...

Until one day...

We met in bright smiles
then you left without farewell...

I've lived my life
and built my world

I've found love
that have coloured my world...

You've lived your life
and traveled your universe

You've found love
that have come in the way you expected...

We painted our dream on the stars
to achieve as high as we could in life...

Until one day...

We sacrificed our hearts
and lost our friendship in the process of growing up...

A breakup that hurts so much worse than a breakup with a boyfriend/girlfriend is a breakup with a life-time best friend.. the regret is life-long and the loss is irreversible..

I wish no one have to go through such hurtful thing..

Between Bitter and Sweet

Medicine often tastes bitter..

Poison sometimes tastes sweet

And

they often come as one pair..

So, don't hate the bitterness in life

and

don't get carried away with the sweetness of certain moments..

Because one cannot exist without the other

and

as a pair they challenge humans

to be in healthy balance

and

become wiser..

A Different One

Close your eyes

And imagine a different world..

One which is not the one you live in

One you never imagined before

One where I came from



Open your eyes

And look at me with a different perspective..

One which is not the one you put me in

One you never thought of before

One where I started my journey from



Clear your mind..

And ask away..

And I will answer..



Close your eyes

And consider a different scene

One which is not the one you act in..

One you never wrote before

One where I was risen from



Open your eyes

And face me with a different reality..

One which is not the one you are in

One you never associated me with before

One where I learned about life from

Our Home

Our sun is a star

But it belongs with the planets surrounding it..

Our moon is earth's only satellite

But its appearance is always accompanied by hundreds twinkling stars..

Waterfalls often stand alone

Beautifully surrounded by trees of the jungle

Rivers often flow alone

Preserving lives along the edges of rocks and earth

Our home is not always where the people are like us

It is indeed where the people accept us to be among them just the way we are..

Glory In The House of Past Evil

I posted this poem on Orcalion's World instead of this blog, since I want it to appear in full in Facebook.

Anyway, this is the link to the poem 'Glory In The House of Past Evil'.

Enjoy!

Best Friends and Best Friendship

I used to think of best friendship as an unbreakable bond..

Now I know the truth that even when best friendship do not last, it stays as a beautiful memory..



I used to think of best friends as people whom we shared our days till we die..

Now I understand that best friends are people whom we love enough to let go to find their better-selves..

Scattered Pieces of My Heart

Scattered pieces of my heart..
It is time for me to put you back together
For it has been too long that I have lived without your guidance
Trail of self-reflection that is carved deep on your surface..

Every picture of events tells a story about learning
Every trace of pain shows the struggle during a challenge
Every torn part represents the marks left by each one who had come and gone
And every hole waits to be filled by the ones whose path will cross..

You always drowned every time I cried
You always burned every time I screamed inside
You always broke into pieces every time I failed to accept reality
And you always scattered every time I failed to hold myself together..

Now, I need to see the reflections carved on your surface
To guide me to accept my past, live my present and welcome my future
So I will put you back together by tracing each mark and line on you..
Scattered pieces of my heart..

A Tribute to Teachers..

Children learn about life,
by following their parents' guidance

But they find answers about purpose,
by following their teachers' wisdom

Beyond the knowledge.. Beyond the sacrifice..
Beyond the gestures of appreciation..

The real treasure is rooted deep in children's souls,
forever owed as long as they shall live..

The Knightly Theft

As you quietly move closer
The ground starts to shake
Resonated by the violent wind
Raging waves, and
Thundering storm
Waiting to punish the reckless tresspasser..
Amidst my helplessness
Waiting for the earth to shatter
Your hold steadies my shaken stance
Carrying my weightless mind
To the safe throne of the clouds
Where the sun reveals your true-self
My knightly protector
Whose presence balances the nature of my existence
As nothing is lost with your arrival
But the dark castle of loneliness

I was inspired to write this poem by a poem titled 'One Stolen Kiss', written so beautifully by one of my favourite poets in www.blogit.com .
