Gone Yesterday

Like a startled bird;
Away flown yesterday,
With the wings of the wind,
While upon the arms of pillow i lay:
Cherishing the beauty amidst her eyes not hand;
Fetching liquid treasure with basket in my mind,
While winter travels by.

You disappeared like the night:
revealing a naked day,
Like the snap of the finger;
You flutter and sneak away,
Never to revisit here again.

Was it known of your vast feet,
Would i till my garden
And make blossom its bud:

Will thou succumb to the caressing lips of lullaby
Like a tender tot:
shall i array you a bronze colar,
And a golden chain to adorn thy feet:
Till tomorrow never come;
Till you vomit all my treasure,
You have quietly swallowed:

Could i cajole here again,
Will i make feeble thy feet:
For all my reverie,
I'd carve forever real.
Am still dreaming!
Gone,is yesterday.

The Maker's Monument

He's here,
Look at Him there,
Standing at the corners of everywhere,
And can be seen anywhere.

Gaze upon the smiling moon;
In the sparkles of little star,
In the colourful rainbow at noon,
Peep deep into the beauteous sky
He is there:

Hear the sweet songs birds chirple,
Listen to the whispers of the wind,
Hear the thunder and lightning rumble,
Heed the gentle tutor in your mind,
He's there:

In the tender droping dew upon dizzy 
morning;
In amazing tears flowing from the 
cloud,
And the slow soft touch of breeze in 
quiet sleepy evening
JESUS is there
And stands in the corners of 
everywhere.

Mystic Google

Behold, the mystical veil
On earthy's face:
Hold her invicible fingers,
Scan through her google,
Uncover her masquerade:

Some is fame,
Some shame:
Many poor,
Few splendor:
Many merry unfree,
Some is glee:
some gold,
Others cold-old:

Dark heart glows,
Bitter leaves, good heart grows:
Many wisdom fail;
Turbulent  ocean,the simple safely sail:
Strength hustle for vain,
Golden ocean,the lazy gain:

Save it so,
Swim your coast!
A mastery finger carved it so.

From whence the wind whistle
Canst thou whisper?
Just swim your coast
And save it so.
