Virtus Poems


Cum virtus invenit Amor et Fides

Although I could count the petals of a flower
the tree of my great faith doesn't cease from sight
like a seed of hope always seems to foster,
the echoing call that wants a praying answer in the night.

As I venture into Summer's golden warmth,
expecting a wanderer to sift through my heart
like an old folk delve into his youth,
and a slight hurry to deepen for comfort.

The splashing river grasps within my soul
as if I would find my inner peace
to let go the pain and its faults
with the sun shining on my face.

Having a desire to transform my life
into a love that is sweet as a nut
as I touched God's hands I felt completely safe
with a flower of pure joy leads me to shout.

As I find myself feeling strong and blessed,
thanking God for yielding me to the tides of strength 
like a little sprout had been sowed,
Cum virtus invenit Amor et Fides.
(When Courage finds Love and Faith)

Living and Learning

Don't listen to failure,
         don't trust in success...
         be mostly firefly
         than a proud sun... !
         mostly lover than
         the beloved moon...!
         but never dazzle
         your own glow,
         don't belittle
         your love... 1
         Do not bother yourself
         with the failure...
         don't you ever be disturbed
         with success...
         The two pass...
         look for balance,
        at the extremes,
        Virtus in medium est...!
