“Thoughts to Share Your Little Light to”

1st segment on Pure Love: “Saudade” I long for you, Just as how a woman longs for the sea, A sea where all she could view, Is a view of herself, Reflected back at her, With the water’s own beauty. I am searching for you, Knowing that someday, Somehow, You could be that somebody who could sing with me, When dawn awakens, When the sun rises, To make us believe, That this music I search and write for, Became our very essence, Of what it means like to be in love. I yearn for you, Just as how the stars shine at night, That in the darkness, You shine with me, Like two tiny stars, Forming lights, Illuminating energy, Giving wishes, To everyone, And every bit of your yearning, When you and I long to gaze up towards the night sky, Prolonging the concept of time, Lengthening the illusion of it, Knowing that someday, Somehow, You could be that someone, Who would search for the majesty of the Universe, Knowing fully well, That all this yearning and wishing, Came from our very hearts. I am longing for you, Searching for you, Yearning for you. Maybe you do too… 2nd segment on Unrequited Honesty: “In the Gentle Rain” In the gentle rain, The water from the skies poured along, And I in return, Would cry along. In the gentle rain, The grey morning would present itself, Would so much coldness, And sadness, That it also saddens me. Then the gentle rain would halt, When the sunshine presented itself, With so much beauty. I told myself, That there is life after the rain, That even if it was cold and dreary, There would always be the sun, Waiting along, Resuming all along, To behold the wonder and the beauty of the earth. Today I remember you in the gentle rain. Today I reminisce over the times, When you wanted my presence back. Today I record my feelings as I cry along. Today I rewrite my story down, For you, So that someday, Somehow, You would be that someone who would read them through, When you are wanting to find somebody to cling on. One last time, I am clinging on to you… 3rd segment on Seeking God: “After every after” After the meaning of it all, I can finally say, That I can start all over again. After the falling in, And after the falling out of it, I realized, That I can begin again, By telling myself: “You can love yourself, Just the way God wants you too, And that is relying on His Unconditional Love, That surpasses all understanding.” After every after unrequited love, And even before experiencing this, And even during the process of looking for “the one,” I have realized, That during the in-betweens, That is where, Where I needed to remind myself, That God is there every step of the way. Then I realized, That as I looked into my heart, I began to paint a picture of the God of my understanding, Of a road paved with flowers such as the daffodils, That He is there walking with me, Strolling with me, As we go through life, Loss, Love, And the losing and longing in the in-betweens, To let me know, That I have been searching for Him, As He paved the Way, This Way that lasts everlasting. Then it came to me, That as I set myself free, I settled in, Settled in inside of my heart, To let me know, That in doing so, I came to the conclusion, That en route to God, Is also an en route to a life filled with strife, Struggle, And suffering. But I just know, That in trusting in the Lord, I know that if I put my faith in Him, Life with Him, Is a life filled with Victory, Success, And Joy. After every after, In the in-betweens, I find God inside there, Situated after all, Inside of My Heart, To let me know, That He has been always the Joy, And that Inner Peace, That overwhelms me. Lord, You are that Peace I long for.
