A DIALOGUE WITH MY CREATOR

My Creator, from the East I can now see the beam of the sun. It's impressiveness and radiant range all over. The blue, calm sea is now turning into a swaying orange scene. The green meadows are transforming into golden, shimmering outlook. From a peaceful and frigid world, it is changing into a busy one. Wake up, please my Creator. Ah! your eyelids start to move, I can witness existence on your face. Your hands begin to open. Then you grin and my heart jumps out of remarkable pleasure. "Good Morning" I greeted and without lingering for me to say another line He quickly replied "A satisfying day to you, my friend. It is still dawn and yet you called me. What do you want?" "May I have a day with you my Creator?" With a blink of an eye, I understood it was Yes.

"My I offer you something for breakfast?" " All I need is a cup of love for the orphans, a loaf of loving kindness for the needy, a slice of covenant and forgiveness for those who have done you wrong, a quantity of flowers for the altar and don't forget a respect of morning prayer." After breakfast, our dialogue began. I was almost a controller in our dialogue, Thus instead of a dialogue, perhaps it will be appropriately called a monologue. "You know, my Creator, I asked for this day when I can talk with you and vent out all the contents of my heart to you. I want you to know how much help you've given me through all those years. I can still clearly remember when I ask solution to my burdens. I tell you this wish before I go to bed then a day or two passed and when I opened my eyes, here comes what I wished. I run through our yard and catch dragonflies, pick flowers that attracts me, climb trees at times. I hurt myself at times, I stumbled but it was seldom for you were my guardian Angel.

Early school days, we were together. All what I see and observed introduced me to a new world. Yet condition was too difficult for on Sundays, I see you and I tell you how I spent the days, what I did. Time flies, it wings are so rapid that after elementary days follow high years then college times. Dear Creator, words are not enough to show you how thankful I am for all those gifts you've bestow me, for all the blessings you've given me and for all those warm-hearted and precious persons you've sent me in my existence. I've never forgotten to say this terse yet hearty prayer to you... I trust in Thee, my Lord. I adore Thee. I love Thee and I thank Thee for the life you give me. I offer all the things I'll do this day for you. Thus in all the ordinary actions I do, I make it extraordinary for it is for Someone who deserves the best of everything. Being at a new challenging life, my dear Creator, please always stay by my side and never leave me. Saturate my soul with your spirit and life. Permeate and own my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with, may feel Your presence in my soul. Without you I can do very little and practically nothing at all but with You my Creator, I can do great things and even impossible things for the matter. Let me know your command so that I can make your command for me to come true."

"It's evening now and You maybe want some rest or You may maybe hungry. What can I offer You?"

" I want to run around and take a glass of milk."

"Here is your glass of milk. I did it specially for you."

"Thank you. My glass of milk contains various of ingredients. It has a zip of modesty, purity, generosity,genuineness, honesty...Take it so that those attributes will be with you for always. This universe will be a better place to breathe in when love is visible. Distribute it to everyone for in them you'll see me. In a clean heart I'll stay, just call me and enunciate the sincere need for Me and I'll be there. Don't forget to pray always. Till our next dialogue.

[my cry]

I am living in a circle of misfortunes,
my bones are crushed and I am down to my knees
with dirt on my face and wounds all over my feet.

Where are you God?
I cry out to you Lord, wherever you are.

Hear my plead
Hear my sorrows
Hear my cry
My cry for your light
My cry for your warmth
My cry for your love

It is you who have the power
to wash away the darkness
in my life.

And it is only you who can resurrect me from my grave.

Touch me now.
Hear me now.
Renew me now.
I surrender.

RENDEVOUZ WITH GOD

Oh! Look at the flowers
blooming in Abundance
their rainbow colors
heightened to perfection
by the golden stream of light.

Look at the butterflies,
the bees dancing
an excited jubilation
to the colorful chirping of birds

Listen to their chorus manifesting
each their own individualities
a soul is in rapture,
soaring free from the tangles of the doomed world.

Shh! Listen to the caressing breeze among the greenery...
"God loves! God loves! God loves!"
Hey, the tricking brook playing
Among the rocks is answering fervently "Amen! I agree! Praise him!

Hallelujah! Sigh! what a marvelous panorama to behold!
Hmm! what's that? my nose tingles with the smell of sweetness,
freshness and life...
intoxicating, elating!

Oh God! It's wonderful!
the place is bursting with joy, praise, and thanksgiving
for the love and care of fulfillment a picture of love
and sign most dear to the heart.

I pray, dear Lord,
that I may be ever more praising
and thanksgiving for your love
and that I may love you better as the days go by. Amen!

“For the love of Christ constraineth in us... and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them and rose again" (11 Corinthians 14-15)

Knight in the Sky

Semi-finalist
International Open Poetry Contest (July 2001)

As I began weeping in earnest
Came forthwith into my heart a guest,
A knight who is resplendent and bold
Attired in gleaming silver and gold.

He is drawn to my side by a bond
That no term will be able to bound
Time has no meaning, love will endure
My heart will forever be secure.

A knight no less than a miracle
An experience nothing can settle,
Epitome of women's fancy
Of a knight that's extraordin'ry.


The knight in the sky's enchanting eyes
Rescued my searching heart that cries,
Old mother fate let him fly so high
Love made him the only night in the sky.
