Apologies to my avid blog readers (if there are any :) ) of my untimely demise in the blog world. I have been so caught up with work and school that I have been guilty of totally depriving my sanctuary of the needed words to satiate its hunger for weeks. I looked at my posts and there seems to be a huge difference as compared to my previous months posts and I believe I still have a lot of catching up to do.
Nevertheless, rest assured that I am well and that I am now in great focus with studies and work and is trying...trying to achieve equilibrium in everything.
Ciao!
Be part of my Sanctuary

Goodbye heartache...
Just like any season wherein we all welcome a breath of fresh breeze...a spring perhaps after a long cold winter, or a breezy summer after the chilly spring, finding someone who can provide you a warm jacket or a nice umbrella makes everything around you go into sparks.
Much a do about solitude and worry lines on my forehead, we should at least spare a time to smile and acknowledge that everything that has happened in the past is all about teaching us a good dose of life-learnings. We may have failed at times, but hey, we should not deprive ourselves with the chance to take the remedials and be on our way to an optimistic individual.
Undoubtedly, my perspectives have slightly leaned into something more positive. Rather than sulking in my room for someone who has taken its flight off me, it is indeed best to keep your doors open and tables ready to welcome a new arrival. Happiness is all about perspective. Crazy of me to be writing such mellifluous statements, but hey, isn't it all about perspectives?
Life is still a long journey, but, we simply have to be patient, to be armed with prayers and a steadfast heart to learn to let go and welcome anew.

My prayer tonight...
Dear Lord,
This may be the most weird prayer that you will hear from me tonight. But I pray that you guide my heart in this journey that has started. Make it strong and do away with feebleness in any case. May it survive the toil that the journey will entail, the strength be continually nourished. Paths may be rocky ahead, or paths may be blinded by sand storms, by fog, or by plain obscurity of the vision for lack of definite destination.
Challenges will be on the way - for sure. And, this heart, will be waging whatever it takes to surpass such challenges. Please guide the thoughts and actions of my heart, that it may all lean towards good and be shielded from what is bad. Teach my heart also to be just that it may, in the end accept bitterness and pain and to do away with any hatred it may consequently bring.
Fragile as it may seem, innocent as it can be and vulnerable as always, my heart will be rejoicing for whatever good it has felt and will be weeping for whatever pain it may suffer. Provide my heart with endurance so that in the end, it will still be steadfast and pure and will be able to feel the ultimate of all feelings every human kind is entitled into - to love.
This I pray.

Is it you?
Someone knocks at my door.
My heart skipped for a moment.
It was an unexpected "hi" from a stranger.
The "hi's" became "hello's".
Until, I asked for your name.
Your name became my name too.
Until those lips became opened smiles.
I smiled, with hesitation.
Reserved with the fact,
that this might be another lost guy.
Assurance is there.
With those eyes, nothing is wrong.
I felt it, within me, I know.
I took chances and you did too.
Chances which until now we weigh.
Weighing if it means the same.
If it is all but a dream or a future.
We crossed that bridge,
Now, we have the water under to tread.
And I know you have questions.
So do I.
And we both know what to ask,
is it you?

This night with you...
Things have been different from that day when I met you. Should I say, I suddenly saw that glimmer of hope in this long travel that I am into. An oasis maybe in a dessert that seems to have brought nothing but desperation and sadness and solitude. My lips are but smiles and joy. Funny, but I begin to appreciate what happiness is and what love is. Slowly, unknown to you, you are teaching me how to appreciate life.
And, as this night unfolds, we welcome each other - not under the pale moonlight, but under the comfort of a place where trysts are meant to be considered as sacred and cherished. Yes, it will be something that I have considered sacred and cherished. In this place where humanity is not acknowledged and is meant as a place for the less, our presence makes the difference and is just unmindful of whatever discomfort it may bring us - comfort it is will suffice to have you and me.
This night with you is no ordinary night the way that I spent my past nights with others. Maybe because of a prayer that I recited just before the sun set, or a firm grip with your fingers in mine as you whispered odes to my ear. Extraordinary may be an understatement in fact. This night, I tell you, that it is all about you. This night will bear no resemblance in the dark nights that I have lived in the past. You are my blanket tonight and for more of the nights to come and every night will be a different night with you.
