227

Oh, to sleep for just a moment

Lay to rest a body that is spent

Quiet the brain analyzing what is meant

Still the heart hoping for what's heaven-sent.

228

Give me the courage to find
The ME I lost;
The strength to pick up
The ME I've become;
And the drive to be
The ME I hope
   and am meant to be.

229

Masayang pagbalik-tanaw sa kabataan;

Napakagandang pagsiwalat ng malalim 

at kakaibang kahulugan na nakapaloob 

sa mga awiting kinalakihan;

At, higit sa lahat,

Mga buhay na tago at lihim,

sa wakas nabigyang tinig;

Mga katotohanang di napag-uusapan pero dapat,

buong tapang na inumpisahan.

We make of life what we can
Bending and folding over through the pain
Maneuvering every twists and turns
That these do not restrict the flight
But, instead,
Help grow bigger stronger wings.

231

Shine a light upon the path

That leads to you

Take me to your secret world

Show me the colors that make you sing

Teach me the language of your soul

That I might sing to you my love.

Counting my blessings
Finding joy in little comforts
Like mid-week holidays
And another one on Monday!

Predictability

Comes from familiarity;

That comes

From regular interaction

And careful attention;

And these,

From the beginnings of love (?)

Night makes for best company.

Together we watch the world slumber

And talk endlessly in silence.

235

There, in the shadows,
Where I thought myself comfortable,
He planted a gentle kiss upon my eye;
And pulled me firmly into the Light.

Always everyone's dream;

Never someone's reality.
