Tree of life bloom again

Last night you looked hollow
Almost to the point that I thought you has been struck by a treacherous bolt of lightning
You seemed so distant that the gentle breeze couldn’t even blow your limp leaves.
Today u seem alive
I just heard u catch the gentle breeze and I can feel you blowing it gently as well.
The rustling of your once dry leaves gives me hope.
Tree of life blossom again
Cease not to be the once beautiful home of the
birds that chirped away.
Lest their music elude us and with it the gaiety of life.
Tree of life bloom again
Lest the heat of life will roast us
Sans your shade and breeze.
Tree of life, bloom again.

Wonderthoughts

Wonderthoughts

Now I don’t know if I’m wondering or if I’m thinking

I have become such an expert in wonderthinking

That I wonder in and out of the various worlds

Yesterday, I thought the whole day

As if that wasn’t enough

I’ve been wondering the whole day

Don’t even doubt it

Tomorrow I’ll be wonderthinking

I’m sure my school up here has

Covered every topic under the sun

But my all time favourite none can deny me

I wonder when, I think how,

I wonder if, I think who,

I wonder why, I think where

But there isn’t much I can do except to wonderthink and

Trust whom I have always trusted.

The Great Divider

Paradoxical!

Now, i know in part- but then i will know in full

Intuitively, i would have thought peace and unity.

For so long, i have known you as  a peace-giver

Suddenly, i have to accept you as a great divider

My mind is in a turmoil, tell me if you can

Where lies the parallelism between peace and division

Paradoxical!

Suddenly, your words hit me- “No, i tell you, but rather, division”

Yet still, i hear you whispering

” My peace i give unto you is the peace that the world cannot give”

It takes me a while to grasp this paradox

That in division there can be peace

Where, lies the paralellism between peace and division

Divide then as you choose Great Divider

Divide in your perfection, that i may be made perfect

Divide that i may be all yours and not partly yours

Divide that i may enjoy your transcending peace

Divide that i may see in full what i saw in part

Divide that i may see as parallel

My Great Divider and my Lord of peace.
