Round and Round

So hope comes along whenever a door closes. Delayed or caught in traffic, it does not matter now. I just know that there is hope, that there is something worth waiting for.

I am just in awe at how intricate the details have been, with the amount of twists and turns that has been laid along my path. Everything now is coming in full circle.

And so like a child, I wait.

I Just Did

You have become a part of
my blurry imagination,
a figure that fades
along with the ticking of the clock,
a memory that slips
through the corners of my mind.
I thought I could not.
I thought I would not.
But I did.
I gave myself the chance.
At last, I know how to quit you
Because I just did.

The Inevitable

And so it boils down to this - GOODBYE.

That long forgotten road I took a year ago laid out a warning sign for me, only I, stubborn and willing to take the risk, did not heed it. But I have no regerets taking that route. I believe, and I always have, that its purpose has defined the person that I am today. As I have said, I will only look back with gratitude that that day came to be.

Crossing that forbidden line sure had thunder and lightning roaring from the dark skies, and I should have ran for cover. However, I chose to get wet under the pouring rain and leisurely take that walk home. It may have been a long and exhausting walk, but boy, am I glad to be finally here - home.

Without you.

From hereon, I am taking baby steps in finding my way around the world for my signpost no longer stands in front of me. And at the end of the day, I will run with eyes wide open toward the path of light.

I am taking on a new journey filled with hope and promises.

And saying goodbye to you is the first and sure step I am taking.

I Hear You

It may seem odd, but I can listen for hours about anything and everything that may bother you. I can just be still and not say a word. You-talk-I-will-listen will be our thing. And I promise you, I will.

If you will only let me. And please make that in this lifetime.

In Betweens

The last few months have been a journey of in betweens. At every turn, I find myself succumbing to silence hoping to find answers. Gone were those days of throwing in words which have become meaningless over time, and have been really sucking the life out of me. I got tired. Thus, the silence.

And in the silence, I found beauty in forms and images. Ironically, the silence led me to bigger circles where I met amazingly twisted but achingly beautiful souls. And I found comfort.

Sadly, though, there are things that I have to let go of. They have served their purpose.

So I move on, blend with the other spirits who seek to find their place under the sun. I am living with it. And I am loving it.

Echoed

She walks in like there's no tomorrow
Yet she leaves a shadow
You'll soon forget.
She blinks,
You stare.
She flees
You run after her.
Lost in the sea of souls
You search
She hides.
She whispers goodbye
You cry.

I Missed This

I have not been writing for a while. Sure, I have another blog. But it's not as free as I wanted it to be. I want to write with abandon, with passion. Dance like no one's watching.

Somehow, I knew something in me was not alive.

And so I return.
