The need for change . . .
the longing for something new.
Springtime!
begin everything with the prayer.

Mid-Air
(prologue)
The curtain of the night drops.
The howling of the wind
That echoes in the canyon
Cloaked the silence of closure.
Heaven sends its final greeting
In the form of raindrops
Kissing hope
Goodnight.

(act one)
Where do I start, or
Did it ever end?
Words left me, or
Was I?
Should I pick up from where I left, or
Simply move by?
Had I left the palette black, or
Was it white, or
Simply the absence of colors ~
My absence.
A temporary recluse,
A self-exile from
My drawing board,
My writing table.
The easel put away,
As I lament
A closure of the page.
A quiet epilogue
Amidst the fading light
And sound Of the rain
At twilight.
The heart begins to pound.
A sign of life
Among the rabbles
Like walking dead
With no direction
Lost
(In the dark streets to nowhere)
And found.
Signs of the bread crumbs
Leading home
Are apparent
As the sun breaks
Through the ridges;
Tapering the edges of the shadow.
The sweet mist of last night’s rain
Kissed the deserted page
Where words will begin to form again
Like spring sprouts
That would bring splashes
Of colors
And rapturous sounds
To a heart coming back to life.

(epilogue)
Where things end,
And where they begin is undefined.
Where I stopped
And when I begin is not known to me.
Everyday I awake,
I breath.
That’s what I know.
Spring, summer, fall, winter . . .
It’s interesting to see how the seasons help us evolve to become the best version of the person that we are.
The First month of the year is over. Tomorrow, we start the month of the hearts. This is my early greeting. My winter song, my daily photo-blog for the month of January, 2012.
I wish you well.

Reblogged from Jeques's Web Nook:
My Contribution To The Future A Valedictory Address written for my niece, Angelie Jamora Escrupulo in 2008-2009. (Note: Every year, around this month, my Web Nook is visited by people searching for Valedictory Speech. This piece was written 2 years ago for my niece for her graduation; the number of clicks on the post prove that somehow it’s been a good reference for people needing to write or deliver a valedictory address.
“Reflective”
The month before 2011 ended, I was reflective. The year that was, the now and the years to come is the future I dreamed about as a kid. I have arrived to the time that my young mind only used to day dream about . . .
Starting on a new slate.
I wish you well.

November is over. Today as December starts, let me share with you the video I created for my Daily Photo-blog posted in FB last month. My poem, “Autumn Dance” inspired this photo-collection last month. Here is the link to the video posted in my YouTube account.
Hope you enjoy watching.
I wish you well.
