Ode to Api - Grandmother

Cycling amidst the gloom and glee
She pedals the life's tapestry while
People whisper the bad and good thing
She'd lived in her life,
Though lying in sick-bed
No one dared to spare her;
She still held her head high
And nothing changes her mood.
A lethal disease is not a reason,
And she stood her knee to death,
A source of heartache
that bid me in deep within
Poverty isn't the reason
but unreason man: kids and kin,
A cold hearted person,
a living-death that surrounds her made it.
Amara, goddess of life
couldn't hold her still so
Death does us part in a blink of an eye.
Materialistic longing I do not need them,
Empathy and understanding makes man man.
Unity in timely need with little contribution
Would've given her a moment's breath.
A life of love and laughter beside the fire
Will rumble low in all the hearts but not.
Five sons and two daughters hold
Her womb their world
but few showed the concern
Recalling in pain and remorse
Why doesn't love and unity abide?
Golden crown isn't about life but
A heart that held closely tide.
Disunity and death clutches
and grip her breathe
But her fond memories
will forever linger among us.

Every Soul at the Feast: Celebrating Christ's Resurrection

Every soul is liberated the day Christ went down to the grave
Ascending high above heaven, Christ bridged the gap between earth and sky, like a cloud parting from the ocean
Sacrificing and sanctifying with his blood of all sinners.
The word once a prophecy now a liberating source of all man
This early Church tradition became a worldwide feast here on earth
Redeemed by Christ who bled as a sacrificial lamb once and for all.

Silent Strides

People driving swiftly
 While I was walking
 on a rainy path alone,
 Many passers passed by.
 Then in blues a man
 Drove an abandoned road uphill
 While the usual being over used.
 My legs stride the uphill
 Though dreamscape,
 It's a mirage of true life:
 The shouldering of life's
 Call and commitment
 Of family's well being.
 An Alto car I carried upon
 My shoulder and climbed
 That uphill , Yes I climbed it.
 The road might be plain,
 Rough and rugged,
 Uphill and downhill
 I'll beat with
 The rhythm of 
 My heart and no one
 Shall hinder nor block me.

Divided Waters

A vision seized me, before
The marriage of my kin.
Betrothed to a faith apart,
Like a stray from the hallowed ground;
where forefathers had etched:
A devout Catholic and a pioneer,
A premonition of life truth.

I wandered through the paddy field,
Where crystal water surged;
Fishes of all sizes I had a huge catch.
Between, a river parted,
As white as a snowy flake and high;
Down and below, muddy water reaches their neck.

A laundry basket, brimming over their balanced head
I waved them to join me where abundance flowed.
But they insisted on not coming,
For they had decided their life: shallow and creek
They'd to fetch the water with a small mug.

 Life's destiny weaves one's tapestry
 And no external forces can confine us.
