Introduction

As I move forward into new beginnings

I must face dusk and dark evenings

Those nights that I feel unsure about tomorrow

All I can do is pray it’s not full of sorrow

I hope this dawn brings so much love

The one I ask from above

New chapters are about to begin

I will wait what will happen in the time being

There’s so much in store waiting for those who believe

That in time things are about to achieve

For now, I just must pray while I wait

Maybe God is still preparing for my mate

I

Love they say is the most important of all

It’s the reason why people do fall

It sums up everything we need

So, there are more of us that we can give

Faith is the one that keeps us human

We believe there’s a higher being among all men

These things here are just temporary

Knowing there’s more afterlife is necessary

Hope is the one who keeps us alive

Knowing there’s tomorrow that we can still jive

It gave us a chance to do better things

Make us look forward to another blessing

Peace is all we always need

Some things are so hard to find

If we can give it to one another

How beautiful life is when we are all together

II

Spring is when the flowers bloom

It takes away the winters gloom

What a wonderful time to enjoy the breeze

It gave us new adventure and a bit of sneeze

Summer is the time to enjoy the sun

Everybody doesn’t want to miss the fun

Beach enthusiast people make the most of it

They have many summers season to beat

Autumn gave a warm feeling inside

As the wind blows and the leaves withered and died

It simply shows how necessary change is

Nature’s way to remind the beauty of life is

Winter came with cold weather and snow

A chilly feeling but glows

The absence of warmth as temperature goes down

But never in our hearts, the flame died down

III

I love the sound of silence in my ears

Seems beautiful music it bears

It makes me calm and gives me peace

My heart and mind feel at ease

Its where I found my sanctuary

A place where I can be who I want to be

My mind keeps flowing with a lot of thoughts

That’s where my poetry goes

It seems I have a world of my own

Through my words, clearly shown

I don’t want to keep my thought inside

Coz it might burst if I let it hide

I’m not the type who spills it out

I’m not the type who won’t shut her mouth

I can easily express what I feel

If you just give me a paper and a quill

I’m used to being in my small crowd

Its where I can be loud

A small circle of friends as it may seem

Its where I put my love and trust since the beginning
