OF LIVING AND LOVING... AND COPING...

Will be posting again soon...

Since I am going techie with my new phone I think I will be blogging again. My only problem is TIME... But I do miss blogging. I miss experimenting with poetry. I miss expressing or exploiting the creative side of my brain. Hmmmm... Soon I hope... Especially that tomorrow will mark another anniversary for my blog. ♥☆♡

Dona Nobis Pacem... There is Hope...

Begin each day with a grateful heart
Let the morning breeze augur a fresh start
Oh, there is hope... there is hope...
God, grant thy people a way to cope...

Besieged by nature's wrath
Let mankind find the rightful path
Amidst the baffling global climate change
Sadly, humanity is also placed in war-torn range
Too many souls perish each day... all for naught!

Freedom, once suppressed, is cause for distraught
Oh, there is hope... there is hope...
Refrain from going down the slippery slope...

Pursue that which creates harmony
Embrace that which promotes unity
Accept each other's flaws
Coexistence is a worthy cause
Every man will one day learn to let go of blame...

Dona Nobis Pacem!

Indeed, there is hope... there is hope...

A Day at Golgotha

terrene redolent

of lilies, burning incense...

city of the dead

memorial vignettes

atop immaculate crypts...

tribute to forebears

wicked truth pondered...

the day i take my last sleep

where will i wake up...

what of my days and

follies will be most recalled
perhaps with a smile...

"Undas" is traditionally celebrated in the Philippines every 1st (All Saints' Day) and 2nd (All Souls' Day) days of November. It is that time of the year when most Filipinos congregate at the cemeteries to honor their departed loved ones by visiting the graves of deceased relatives, offering prayers and colorful bouquets, lighting candles and incense (for the Filipino-Chinese).

Often, the occasion becomes a reunion of sorts where a banquet is shared around the graves and children have fun making wax balls out of melted candles. Both days are official state-recognized holidays in the country.
