HEART THAT IS ASSURED BY THE MERCY OF THE LORD
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His victory
Along His truthful glory
As He chastises our transgressions of shameful misery
Indeed, keeping us in His life-building ministry.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His instructions
Along His cleansing functions
As He washes our evil deeds with His purging sanctifications
Indeed, soaking us into His spirituality-refining purifications.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His might
Along His transforming delight
As He converts our character with His perfection-insight
Indeed, molding us by His attitude-training pursuits to do what is right.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His holiness-engagements
Along His fortifying establishments
As He corrects our errors with His standard measurements
Indeed, teaching us through His step-directing requirements.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His trustworthiness
Along His encompassing graciousness
As He pardons our confessed sins through His forgiveness
Indeed, strengthening us by His faith-refining steadfastness.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His virtuous processes
Along His empowering ways devoid of deceitful traces
As He replaces our mischief-curses upon His deliverance-braces
Indeed, lifting us up through His spirit-reviving forces.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His compassionate driving
Along His wonderful loving
As He controls our carnal impulses through His principle-rules’ proving
Indeed, upholding us while we are striving according to His conviction-driving.

Amidst fuel crisis that makes us down
God’s merciful ears are never shut down
Ready with His power to reach us down
Fortifying faith from being knocked down
Though miserably tempted to slow down.
Vanquishing attacks of reproaching doubt
Our souls desperately persist to hide pout
While cheered up by the Lord’s exhorting shout
For tenacious triumph against gloom’s bout.
We thank the Almighty Who grants great grace
Along ceaseless heavenly greeting rays
Warming our hearts to offer worship praise.
Beyond engulfing panic shines peace-light
Of care and sharing with prayer delight…
Our faith exalts* Christ in His supreme reign.
Bountiful blessings indeed pouring down
Celestially flowing with no time-out
Guaranteed devoid of scarcity’s trace
Driving us above mediocrity-flight
Propelled by His hand for stewardship gain.
*Psalm 34:3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

I only live to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Being Your child whom You redeemed by wondrous grace
Since You declared Your love for me right from the start
Enclosing my soul around Your compassion’s embrace.
As recipient of Your everlasting life seal
I only live to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Nurtured with Your mercy and wondrous kindness’ zeal
From Your perfect blest will I should never depart.
Surmounting trial-challenges and testing dart
My spirit stays triumphant amidst serene bliss
I only live to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Having Your promise in my well-being abyss.
Marked by great loyalty of fidelity zest
My faith does grow stronger along Your truth rampart
Fortifying my trust and covenant, so blest
I only live to love* You, Lord, with all my heart.
Lyric in modified quatern form
*1John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

Like the subtleties of sea-evenings
Butterflies on their glorious journey
I don’t desire to be sad anymore
Only to wake up with a golden smile
Holding on to my sweet magical dreams
Hallucinating through the day with awakened soul
Calling the sun to stay with me
Fearing the night will enable haunting memories
Wondering, how white moonlight would be
While I plot not to be miserable again
Wishing the stars could purify my eyes
To perceive where lies mist-blue valleys,
Sense passionately the beauty around me,
And forget all hardship tales of my life
For the world could be cruel to pull you down
But heavens’ love always put things right
Helping to remember pleasing moments in the past
Visualise beloved memories coming your way
And leave sadness flag behind
With understanding of the parables beyond life and death
Appreciating the jewel within fairy tales
Lightening up magnificent sensations
Admiring wonders of the renewed world,
That travels through happy streams
Wishing for once you could be a child again
Listen to the wind sighing softly
Impelling compassion and tenderness agenda
That says heal, and free yourself,
Fortifying the will to live
Proud to administer your soul again
Praying for seasons of renewal
The sky announcing return of spring rain
Looking ahead to colourful world
Love soaring further than expected
Inducing captivating smile on the scene
That helps to institute a noble atmosphere
Pure light settling before your eyes
Forever to remember who you are
Reinvent the broken dreams
Face reality with sanctified attitude
Words coming to mind, it feels so right
Elevating your spiritual journey,
To search for enlightenment through perfection
Wishing to live beyond time
Strive for eternal commitment
And endorse happiness with a song
Glorifying freedom with charming presence
Knowing there is no more sadness
In the silent embrace of mystical twilight, I lose myself in deep introspections,
Looking inward, feeling the silent barriers stretching around me,
While the outer world buzzes with a feverish intensity,
Echoes and rages reverberating through streets adorned with flags,
Drums sounding loudly, calling the fevered minds of the crowd.
Something has gone awry.
I feel I no longer belong.
I seal my door tightly, draw the blinds to keep out the chaos of the outer world,
Fortifying the sanctuary of my home with walls of scrolls and ancient tomes,
They have invaded every quiet path where I once walked,
Covering beauty with strident signs and unresolved disturbances.
Something has gone awry.
I feel I no longer belong.
Out there, value seems lost unless tied to a fervent cause,
Tribal voices hurling insults across the widening chasms of division,
Their gods enlisted to preach an authorized and bitter hatred,
Disturbing the harmony of every dream and whispered thought.
Something has gone awry.
I feel I no longer belong.
What can my weary heart do but murmur with fragile hope,
Dreaming of what was or what might still be possible,
In the twilight hours, finding solace and defiance,
In the enchanted, melancholic verses of Bacovia.
In these mystical twilights, where shadows blend with lost light,
I weave my thoughts like a delicate thread through the chaos of existence,
Seeking solace in the silent whispers of ancient pages,
And in the quiet, silver embrace of the moon,
Absorbing the world’s discord as distant, passing echoes,
Creating an inner sanctuary, a realm untouched by time,
A sphere where magic and melancholy dance in silent, eternal grace.
In the gentle embrace of the ethereal twilight, where shadows intertwine with the fading light,
I anchor my soul in the unseen, where the ephemeral whispers of lost worlds dwell,
Living in the old and wise pages, resonating with the voices of times gone by,
Finding my refuge in the realms of moonlit dreams and starry silence.
WHEN TEARS TOUCH
The twelfth of November reminds me of the day
when our paths first crossed then came to grow on trail.
Soon... all the days like waves rolled into years
as we reminisce our pasts: joys and tears for fears.
A pad with pen I hold to write what pops by;
Each tint and curve a bell that says, you and I.
The words are mere push and pull medley of thoughts
shaping a circle melody of heart shots.
Learning flower our way as our cultures shared;
gem writings topically crafted are compared.
Feelings flood colours to our world, closer we became--
Creeping longing is "our meeting" as this both our aim
Beep and peek are lace ladders to higher trust grounds,
every tap and trade a thread fortifying our bond.
The lasso tying our heartstrings to etch some rhymes,
vital signs checked normal but awhile raise second hands
Can it be that this a fruit of stardust's grand wand?
Or a rose waiting to bloom and behold upon bosoms?
Now the day has arrived, suitcases packed, I smile
a journey, I have dreamt about, many many miles.
Nervousness cocoons but it's normal to feel this;
for this my long wish as I enter the coming hours.
Distance and differences our silent enemies!
But... It did not stop us from thinking sound strategies.
Interest and love gleams as our loyal company
enabling us to draw verses of harmony.
Broken bridges we cross by grace of felicity~
yearning to meet eye-to-eye an intensity!
Along the wires we jibe to friendly deal
that as crisp December sings we will make it real.
The cool December made our wanting a tip-top exhilarate..
and from somewhere, a song plays:
"When you feel in your skin in your bones and the hollow
Of your heart, there's no way you can wait till tomorrow.
When there isn't any doubt about it once you come this close
Cos you know and you know that you know...."

Life is about fighting for the love of yourself.
Remember what you learned as a teenager
Take aim at your body and mind to fight
Follow the lessons from parents and teachers
When you have a career, be prepared to fight
Even day and night without becoming weary
Whether they are hard or huge, tedious or tough
Finish a great job to bestow upon your country
In middle age, you carry the burden of struggle
Eliminate evil thoughts and self-centeredness
Dispel delusions, ignorance, iniquity and anger
Surely break down while fortifying goodness
Even though, as you enter your golden years,
Keep your body and mind strong and smooth
Fight down against any weakness and laziness
Fight! Fight for morality by speaking the truth
