A Death in the Family

“We walk a straight line—seems that’s the easier road to take (or maybe not)—but nonetheless, we keep on walking forward still, because life goes on.”

I find myself illuminated at this time—Death is a word I dare not own…--I have this phrase in one of my poems I’ve written several years ago.. and sadly my Aunt (Nanay Ayds) recently took the trip to heaven and flown away last October. She had spent her last few years with us and looking way way back from my childhood up to my college days that I've shared with her; there's a prick in my soul that somewhat misses her.

And in times like these, with times like these “we learn” to live life (the best way we know how). As family ties grew much closer than it was before, with just one phone call, everyone in the family was there. Such a splendid sight to see.

And right now, as I stand here in one corner (whispering), like a part of me is drifting from another realm—my thoughts are up in the air—as if I’m walking on clouds.

Under the Surface

Just run and smile your way through it

Fear drifting through the wind and the shallow cold air leaves a certain chill to the senses; the night breaks in front of me like an enchanting silence only few can be thrilled about. And I sit there waiting for something to fall, as if, there’s one thing that could fall from destiny.

So I look at the stars wondering how this night ended with the merry cheers of some common hearts and a slight tepid juice which frails the notions. The tumbling of waves echoes at the background, somewhat rushing through me but I let my mind drift away with it, not knowing when to speak not knowing when to shed dew when I’m in the verge of.

As the heart lies with the company of a few warm-hearted friends—maybe the time spent is what I needed to ease the trouble in me than complicate what morrows the gap—till I smile whatever runs beneath the river. So run and smile your way through it, let it flow, let it glow, I said to myself.

Spell The Answer

For the past months I’ve been writing not only about myself but moreso about some of my friends’ entanglements and predicaments. It’s a process of understanding everything around me. I felt I have written most of the things I may never say out loud. As this BLOG somewhat turns out like a guiding and a misguided lecture, a journal about these thoughts about life.

And crazy as it seems I may play out my words here and there, I never thought until this day how vulnerable it has gotten at some point. I’ve often been cautious about revealing any private details about me. Hence, I already did that before on a different blog so I won’t reiterate more.
