Rest Your Faith And Resign It But Test Your Faith And Find ItIf God is hateful
explain where love comes from.
If God is your equal,
define the body
and how each piece flows as one,
and recreate it.
If God is betrayal
convince me your life is done,
that you're not just undone,
but unfinished.
If God is pure punishment
explain replenishment,
recuperation
and recovery.
Your discovery of God is not set in stone
and neither is mine.
So give Him...

A Journey Into Transformation
War shapes the warriors it touches, leaving behind vestiges that linger in their lives long after the battlefield fades from view. In Recon Marines: Searching for the Real Enemy, we are thrust into the unrelenting grip of Vietnam's jungle, a landscape both indifferent and eternal. Yet the war waged in the depths of memory proves...

The JourneyThe Journey
Standing at this crossroads, I finally see
How life shaped us through misunderstanding.
What I once called betrayal was merely growth—
Two saplings reaching toward different light.
I trace the map of our journey together,
Each weathered line telling its own story.
In forgiving our mutual imperfections,
I've found that love transforms alongside us.
This is the wisdom life whispers:
To hold each...

StrollTime - the toxic air of life subliming from the clock,
Seeks alongside pain to render journeys not complete,
Nothing spared the test of essence per the world we walk,
Forged of jagged, scattered stones designed to scar our feet....

Runner
I keep refreshing the page,
a priest lighting candles,
holding my breath like the next
flick of wrist might mean something.
Her name is gone from my inbox,
but I still comb the comment fields,
archive tags, shaky alt accounts
we never talked about.
It’s stupid, this new religion:
hitting reload, rereading typos,
tugging old scabs just to feel the sting.
I can’t believe I keep...

Deprived Of Your Love
I can’t rid of the bags under my eyes
The crowfeet despise, all were lies,
Conjured was an illusion of you
Throughout my groping confusion
evasive, flimsy
A-m-o-r-p-h-i-c, innuendos
I was subjected to your derision
dissing me relentlessly
deriding my appearance,
disparaging my intellect
as I stumbled and fell into the abyss
Mocking doesn’t suit my countenance
My lips desert dry, thirsty, parched
An amazon...

The Journey of RCF: Tenure of MercyIn a world of journeys,
A path we found,
A path woven with waves of emotions,
A path of laughter and tears.
RCF, a home of care we found.
RCF
A journey of change,
A journey of power,
A journey of unity,
A journey of voices,
A journey of love.
RCF, a journey that stretched us.
RCF
A journey where shyness turned to bravery,
A journey of learning,
A babe...

Third and last trip2024.4.28
It was our third and final day trip.
We visited AI on The Great Ocean Road.
For the first time, you admired the scenery was great,
While standing at a cliff, looked down to the coast line.
The blue sky reflected on the water,
The waves splashed onto the rocks
Formed strong collisions then sprayed into the air.
I was so excite...

Soul-SearchingSitting attentively on a rickety park bench
My thoughts as deep as an ocean trench
People scurrying aimlessly with their daily lives
In time they’ll fade too, into the archives
I notice a young family, a dog and a cat
After they draw a last breath, what awaits after that?
Billions departed throughout the lineage of man
Bygone times, forgotten lives; been...

Life is a journey of differencesOur lives may be parallel but
our personalities and attitudes
are quite different.
we have both been successful in
what we do, but have used
methods that suited our journeys.
you do what you do that best suits you,
I am what I am for what defines me.
we do not need to clash with
our differences in our experiences,
we can share the...

Self-discoverySelf-discovery
I have been robbed of the joy well deserved,
The golden confidence beneath,
The inner peace.
I have been robbed of a voice, treasured
Caged, and echoing behind my rib cage.
What a long journey of discovery,
Discovery of wealth carried in me.
And now I am a walking art,
Built from fragments of my broken past.
I peeped through my destiny,
In between blank...
