O praises Life so divine
Life boasts meaningfully
Loving and learning unending
Life in its crossroads
Life giving meaning for others
Life giving meaning for oneself
Life ever so loving to all Creation
Life in the universe
Worthy of praise God in the universe
Praising Him in all infinities

Lead me the way
Looking beyond
What lies ahead
Conquering oneself
Be with nature
Always in touch
Moving innermost desire
Illuminating anew
New ways to grasp at

Meeting something that not something
Yet it mean something to a deeper end
An end to caste out that allays one
Surely it is not end of it
Meeting something that not something
Yet giving meaning anew
Wrestling much adverse
Surely it is not end of it
Meeting something that not something
Yet shouldering into its own existence
Dealing with it
Sure it is not end of it

A good friend of mine discusses how life is something to let go when meeting a decisive matter like love problems or even marital problems surely it is not end of the world for anyone to say the least it is something of great importance that understanding oneself truly manifest in this undertaking
Friendship wins
Understanding one relationship
Long lasting days
Clearly it is not end of every possibilities in making things realizable for a person who undertaken a wreckage unto life it is something discrete or meaningful yet it is harsh realities in making things workable and feasible , it is undertaking of soul and spirit.
Soul searching mad
Underlying principles showing
A clear path

A humanity seeking new means and new ways
Adhering to the cause and the objective
Science and Engineering takes its course
How industry goes full swing
As industry flourish and realize
Making humanity much easier and up to date
Making things easy like computers and household items
As well as industry using robotics and innovative ways
Surely Technology takes its course
Fully realizing and making our lives easier

A little girl looking for her mother
Now she cried so loud
Noise emanating the hallway
Moving to rescue
Her mother came and pacify her
Immensely grateful for finding her daughter
Immensely populated slumber
In an airport area
An adventure so immense
Now a lingering thought
Or just an allusion
Familiarity bridges anew

A ground surging wind from above
Striking lightning from a distance
Outward sign of despair and destruction
Obscure signs of times
Yielding in unexpected places
Animosity among living things
A humanity in its resurgence
Looking for new dimensions
A gateway for undertaking
Moving in unexpected direction
Illuminating light extinguishing
Ever flame be lighted up
Indeed before darkness

Great divide
Seeing through
Making things unrealizable
Such sizable
Longing for peace
Sadly it is just
A green green grass of home
Moving so delightful
Long forgotten
A past
A memory
Outstanding the test of time
A notion
Still underwent of life follies
a long forgotten journey a lost memory

An end
Is it for finality
Moving into new reality
A new beginning from an end
Promptly it is an end of something
But a new beginning to start with
An end
Making into a reality
A long lasting peace
Blissful place of a being
Substance always encourages anew
An end
Marking into a breeze time
Marking turning point
Now it is a noteworthy reality
A hype or just a thrilla
