love again

love is beautiful

it takes you high, it takes you low
it even makes you bow

makes the heart beat
makes you realize
what an heart ache means

loved and lost?
have no regrets
for now you know, how it felt

Would you do it again?
even with the scars and the bruises
would you do it all over again?

if no is your answer
you haven't learnt the game
you haven't learnt how to dance in the rain

for every experience is unique
every story is new
there is nothing that you already knew

to have a heart that can love again
my dear, is the only way to win the game

What did you do wrong?

A very good question ask yourself when you find yourself in a situation of conflict, dispute or even hatred for someone.

Of course, there may be times when you aren't at fault at all. But recently I was hurt by some one's actions and was talking to a very wise friend of mine. All she asked was "forget what the other person did, was there anything that you did wrong?"

This wonderful question made me introspect into my actions. I soon found one action I wasn't proud of. Then again she asked "what else did you do wrong?". She kept asking this same question and I kept coming up with things I wish I had not done or I could have done better.

I soon calmed down and realized that I too had made mistakes and that the situation could have been handled in a better way. I highly recommend this exercise. Next time you find yourself furious over some thing, ask a good friend of yours to keep asking you this question. It helps!

I stand still as time moves on


the pin drop silence is all I have
and memories of that can't be undone

the wind blows by as I chose to stop
reminding me of the lessons taught

I stand still as time moves on
I stand still as time moves on

Isn't that what happens when souls die
Isn't that what happens when the sparks no longer fly

I know I can't stand here too long
I stand here to honor the gone
to feel the grief, to acknowledge the pain
to know that it shall never be the same
