LET'S SAVE THE EARTH

Lifted from ILA with permission from the Author: Shiw Shankar Shaw

Let's Save the Earth.

For one minute let's stop our hand .
Let the earth breathe and stand .
Let the nature live it's life .
Then only humans can survive.

Vehicles will stop plying on the road .
There will be no sound and pollution afore .
The earth will again breathe free .
Then only humans can live in spree.

The factories will stop for a while .
Then only the earth will be saved from guile. 
Chimneys will stop emitting smoke .
Then only peace will evoke .

Fellers will stop cutting the trees .
The trees will stand erect with gree .
Greenary will once again prevail .
Then only humans can live in gale .

Fishermen will stop catching fish .
The fish will swim freely at ease .
There will be no hurl and fight .
Then only humans can enjoy the beautiful sight .

There will be no war but peace .
Amicably the war will end and cease .
Let there be fraternity in life .
Then only the earth and humans will survive .

The earth is bleeding profusely.
There's no one to feel the painful sound .
If humans don't awake now .
The earth will soon annihilate with vow .

Quote for Today




"Find ecstasy within yourself. 
It is not out there. 
It is in your innermost flowering. 
The One you are looking for is you. You are the traveler and 
you are the destination. 
In experiencing the ecstasy 
of your own Being, you have 
achieved the final goal."
~Osho~

SATURDAY BLISS

By Dr. Crispina Vedra-Diego
7-30-22 


Early morning sun did not come out,
               And tiny little plants begin to sprout,
               For the rain has not stopped falling,
               Since early morning dawn awakening.
               I can hear the birds still tweeting
               With a couple of them chasing,
               Flying over the plants and flowers,
               Enjoying the cool,watery morning.
               Though the rain continues its pouring,
                I thank God for all the blessings,
                In everything I am so  grateful,
                Life is full, wonderful and beautiful,
                When heart is joyful and peaceful.
               This is the day that the Lord has made,
                Make it part of life's moment to live,
               Today's memory is part of my journey,
                Everything becomes a part of me,
                And I thank God for today I see,
                Another day to embrace with glee.
                        SATURDAY BLISS

LOST CHILD

By Leah C Dancel

In time of despondency 
and mirthless ingratitude of opportunity;
I seek your face to hide myself In Thee.
You turn not Thyself away from me,
But embrace me. You give me comfort
Like a little child lost in her world of care.
You soothe my troubled heart
As you whisper your heavenly love
You straighten my wrinkled soul
And gently wipe the tears from my eyes
With a smile beaming from the sky.

A SULTRY NIGHT

ILA WOW Weekly Challenge
July 27, 2022
Best Entry 




SULTRY NIGHT

A sultry night and everyone is in their effervescent mood
The atmosphere somewhat in disarray and men and women rather getting loquacious
It must be the cocktails they can't stop helping, with one sip too many
Too exquisite, perhaps, to their connoisseur taste 
That one round deserves another so to speak 
The social circle amongst the elite is becoming a POTHER-some nuisance
Lo and behold, one uninvited guest suddenly appears
A QUIXOTIC figure of formidable affluence silenced the crowd.

MADAME BUTTERFLY: PASSAGE

ANYTHING Saturday


(Late for Submission)
DIANE PAULUS Quotes:
"OPERA is the ultimate art form. It has singing and music and drama and dance and emotion and story."

With Elena Zaragoza Escubio 
Joan Sutherland Theatre
Sydney Opera House
Madame Butterfly
July 22, 2022

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Puccini's fame in opus grande composition of Madame Butterfly took him five times to rewrite before it lifted off to earn the highest accolades performed by stellar Aria artists all over the world.

"Opera as an ultimate form of art", in my view,  is a counterpoint to Poetry in alignment with its elements and tools used to define, design and develop the connectivity of expressions conveyed by the writer relatable to the audience, listeners and readers. 

I purposely didn't do any background reading of Madame Butterfly because I want to feel the verve of the story through what I saw and heard from the performers on stage.  And with the aid of digital and visual transcription, I was on track in following the story with profound amazement by the skills and talents involved in this massive production. 

Madame Butterfly so far is nothing short of theatrics about love, loyalty, betrayal, sacrifice and tragedy; but, "in the end, love is the only thing that matters ..."

MERAKI is the apex of this sterling stage success, a denouement of Giacomo Puccini's "sweeping, uplifting, enchanting and intensely moving stories with music and stories combined" genius work.

GOD'S CREATION

WOW CHALLENGE



GOD'S CREATION 

Finding a panacea of solitary loneliness
In the harbour of a dingled mindfulness
Is it serendipity that I found a shadow of love
In this galactic space of southern land
Where I espy a glorious aurora strand
Gorgeously emitting behind the corridor of the dell
Blossoming like a plethora of yellow bells
A marvellous denouement of God's creation from the beginning.

EVERYTHING BECOMES BEAUTIFUL

By Rado Gatchalian



Everything Becomes Beautiful
by Rado Gatchalian

When a piece of joy
is written in too many possibilities —
even certainties become doubt
and fear becomes hope:
try to keep all those stories,
One day — when the night and day
become too close
that no one can see the difference
between summer and winter:
two places, and two souls, become one.
And everywhere we go:
we can no longer feel loneliness;
as man ponders a great lesson —
all of a sudden:
everything he knows is a dust in the wind;
But perhaps when everything is lost
and given to a power no one can hold:
only love and obedience
can give peace —
a warrior surrenders to the will —
A child becomes the willing star,
born from a gift given hundred years before;
and as he climbs every mountain:
to find the richness of the world —
he fails every attempt.
But as he travels back to a place called Home —
he finds under the tree in his garden of Eden
a poem that speaks the most eloquent lesson:
when you stop looking,
everything becomes beautiful.

SOLITARY JOURNEY

By Leah C Dancel



SOLITARY JOURNEY

In peace there is happiness
In solitude - contentment;

An escape into the woods
of serene and tranquility,

provides a place
of solace and comfort;

away from the world
of fallacies and vagaries.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP : Essay

By Leah C Dancel



Dedicated to a College Classmate in Pharmacy at Southwestern University, Urgello Street, Cebu City 
Ninfa Pia Priebe
Bavaria, GERMANY 



July 10, 2022


Prologue:


"Live for today but hold your hands open to tomorrow. Anticipate the future and its changes with joy. There is a seed of God's love in every event, every circumstance, every unpleasant situation, in which you may find yourself." ~Barbara Johnson

The quote above is one inspirational line to appease that Life matters even to the most downtrodden ones.

Passage:

It wasn't long that I found one long lost friend over the years, and now I found another one. And a bit more of others. 

Ninfa Pia as she was known before was a classmate in the university of the College of Pharmacy in Cebu City.
Our friendship blossomed into trust  and sisterhood camaraderie. She's the only one who stood by my side during the turbulent times I had to face many challenges during the tenure of my Leadership as the College Department President. Now I said it for the first time. For those who disparaged me and put me to shame can only judge for themselves. The truth is my guiding light

TRUE FRIENDSHIP 

"Friends love through all kinds of weather" is a biblical-based barometer of true friendship.

True friendship doesn't need to be measured by length of time. It is established by the commonality of 
two empaths who have shared  clairsentient on unspoken values and beliefs surrounding their life's circumstances, events, experiences and situations that befall them.

It is a bond bordered on mutual trust, honesty, camaraderie and respect. A friendship with open arms, in-depth understanding and ever flowing outgoing concern for each other which is extended to their families, friends and even strangers.

A friendship that gives an impact to each side, a friendship that makes a difference by supporting each through thick and thin. I have felt that friendship in a college classmate I have just found, and, again through Facebook.

Our tears, pain and hardships we both suffered due to poverty in the past  didn't give us the reason to give up life. We pursued our dreams beyond belief. And that dream is simply to live, to appreciate and be grateful of every blessing we breathe in and out.

We are a living testimony of that lasting "True Friendship" even if it only resides in the mind and heart of our souls. We may be separated by unforeseen circumstances but our spirits remain unbeaten and unbroken.

Post Script: 
My friend now lives in Germany with two children and a grandson. Thank you Ninfa P. Priebe for your special friendship I have never forgotten through the years!

SONG of the FLOWERS

By Khalil Gibran


I am a kind word uttered and repeated
by the voice of Nature;
I am a star fallen from the blue
tent upon the green carpet.
I am the daughter of the elements
with whom Winter conceived;
To whom Spring gave birth;
I was reared in the lap of Summer
and I slept in the bed of Autumn.

At dawn, I unite with the breeze
to announce the coming of light;
At eventide I join the birds
in bidding the light farewell.

The plains are decorated with
My beautiful colors, and the air
is scented with my fragrance.

As I embrace slumber the eyes of
night watch over me, and as I
awaken, I stare at the sun, which is
the only eye of the day.

I drink dew for wine, and hearten to
the voices of birds, and dance
to the rhythmic swaying of the grass.

I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath;
I am the memory of a moment of happiness;
I am the last gift of the living to the dead;
I am part of joy and a part of sorrow.

But
"... I look up high to see only the light,
and never look down to see my shadow.
This is wisdom which man must learn."

Khalil Gibran
1883-1931


COOKING POETRY

Of all the Poetry I love,
Cooking Poetry is the most satisfying. 
It nourishes your soul.
It keeps your brain sharper.
It makes you fit and healthy.
It stirs your literary appetite

AS YOU GROW OLDER

Lifted from the Author Maria Theresa Causapin
By permission...



🎵 will you still need me,
        will you still feed me,
        when I'm 64...🎶
   Beatles....



As you grow older,
You will come to appreciate
That it doesn’t ultimately matter 
How others view you. 
As you know yourself best .

And no one who has not experienced life as you,
Carried the same burdens,
Lived through the same trials,
And experienced the same highs and lows, 
Has the right to judge you or your path
As they don’t understand.
All of the components and details
That have contributed to you becoming you.

That the people around you are living lives
That are just as complex as yours,
And are oftentimes much more focused on themselves and their own lives 
Than you.
And while their lives are their business,
Your life is your own to create..

As you grow older,
You will understand 
That sometimes we underestimate ourselves,
Belittle ourselves,
Suppress ourselves,
Ignore our potential,
And waste our time
Trying to prove ourselves to others .
Rather than seeking to satisfy and impress ourselves first.

As you grow older,
You will come to appreciate the importance
Of living a life that is true to yourself.
And learn to fight for your peace, joy, passions and dreams.

And as you grow older,
You will come to appreciate 
That you have no obligation to remain
In spaces where you aren’t loved or appreciated.

You do not have to convince others
That you are worthy of being loved. 
 
And that while others may hurt you
All that breaks you, 
Provides you with the opportunity to rebuild.

And as you grow older,
You will learn to better appreciate
Moments of silence, solitude and privacy. 

You will learn to accept and approve of yourself,
Rather than seeking validation from others.

You will learn to treasure your own company,
Value your own opinions,
Trust your own judgement,
And live a life that is truly your own.

And you will discover
That it is never too late for you to start anew,
Begin something again.
And revisit previous passions ,
As your age doesn’t have to restrict or dictate
All you accomplish
What you pursue 
Or who you choose to become.....😊

 Thoughts of my 64 years of existence..💞

"SHOWBOATS" VIVID NIGHT

FOR ILA Challenge



"SHOWBOATS" VIVID NIGHT 

Tercets:

The night was about to end and we stood 
One more time by the bow of the "Showboats"
To view the dazzling Vivid Night for good.

Two years of hiatus when Covid smote;
All hell let loose, no Vivid Lights, no cruise;
One more time by the bow of the "Showboats"

Cabaret show, food, drink and friendship's muse
A night to remember, no past bestowed 
All hell let loose, no Vivid Lights, no cruise;

Tonight with friends, our happy moments flowed 
It's something to look back ere mem'ries lost 
A night to remember, no past bestowed.

In tune with Vivid, lights and colours tossed
Into a fluid night with vibrant moon
It's something to look back ere mem'ries lost.

Quatrain:

Happenstance of joyful time lasted soon 
Each guest met friends with auld lang syne to croon 
The night was about to end and we stood 
To view the dazzling Vivid Night for good.

WONDERFUL CREATION

By Cherrie Facun Dancel


WONDERFUL CREATION  

You are unique.
Though you're opaque.
You serve the purpose,
In beauty and pose.

You look so lovely.
Pleasant to the eyes of many.
You brighten someone's day,
That cheer them on their way.

You are standing still.
Doing very well.
Believing in your own.
Admired by a person.

You are God's creation.
Beautiful beyond description.
Wonderfully made
That God has blessed.

NENE

By Leah C Dancel



N 🌺 E 🌹N 🏵️ E
(Angelic Friend)
🌷🍀🌷🍀🌷🍀🌷

Angelic face
Sweet and kind
Bedimpled cheeks
Give beauty so
Demure but chic
Smiling eyes
Glowing in the sky
Soft thin lips
That slow to speak
Simple comeliness
With virtues great
A lady, a woman
A mother, a teacher
A person all in all.

She's astute
Quiet in success
She carried on
Her duties day-to-day.
She taught to care
She cared and shared
Time and effort 
Caring for children 
Of every kind.
Her kitchen abuzzing
With things to do
Feeding kids so they grow
She's somebody's mother too,
You know!

So much to say 
About this petite lady
I piled them up on my mind 
The thoughts I have 
For her - in years.
Today is that right time
To tell her and express
Those sentient sentiments
I reserved for her.
Nene, I love you -
Your genuinity is exceptional 
A one true friend to be crowned
With fervour, pride and honour 
Who holds true to your calling.

You were brought into my life
By fate through another friend
Whom you stood by all these years
Through thick and thin; highs and lows
You're an epitome of earthly Angel
Thank you for your great compassion
With pure heart full of empathy;
Listening ears that understand 
And broad shoulders to cry on;
Without judging, without prejudice.
Your ready acceptance and tolerance
Even in trivialities of life far exceed 
Anyone's expectations of you.
In the field of Humanity where you excelled.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nene 
and MANY HAPPY RETURNS of the DAY!

GO AFTER A DREAM

Shared by Estelle Cortes
Another immortal Inspirational Lines
From Pablo Neruda 


You start dying slowly
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
if you do not listen to the sounds of life,
if you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly
When you kill your self-esteem;
When you do not let others help you.
You start dying slowly
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colors
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.

You start dying slowly
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.
You start dying slowly
If you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love,
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime,
To run away from sensible advice…

 Author ✍️Pablo Neruda

SYMPHONY of the SEASONS
(Rensaku Form)

SUMMER

Lemony yellow 
Of glorious morning sunrise
Beautiful daylight!
With vibrant rays stream across
Staccato of humming bees.

AUTUMN

Falling off the ground
Are leaves messing up with earth
Like coloured carpets 
Brown, gold, orange, red, purple, 
And yellow strums Vivaldi!

WINTER

Hibernation comes
With lofty chills and freezes
Time stands still and bids
Adieu to life till we meet
In snow Adagio Fields.

SPRING

Life is back on track
With anthesis coming in
Colour attractions
From home gardens, parks and streets
Highlighted in Allegro.

DRAB WINTER

By Leah C Dancel



It's nice to stow away
From colds that beset me.
Here in my little room
Is where a piece of me
Enjoy blissful solitude:
Eluding wisenheimer bugs
And the whimpers of wind
That blow icy winks 
On drab winter days.
Peace is my dartboard
Where I can throw in
My pillow of quietude
In silence, uninterrupted.

SPECTACLE of SPRING

Bordered with nothing
Fresh whiteness blooms
Across the boundless field
Stuns the spectacle of Spring!

One enchanting paradigm
Of grace and nobility
Arise to stand in awe
Her beauty of pedigree!

Pure bliss 
In every one's heart
Virtuous
In pulchritudinous dream!

Perfect love is what Tulips means
Worthy of admiration
Such honour brings
Divinely designed by nature's creation.

One Solitary Rose.

By Shenni Waldron
Australia...

One Solitary Rose. 

One solitary rose, fragile unique, different to the rest.
Soft as silk, with the sweetest of perfume, intoxicating.
White with the palest pink edge.
A rebel in a sense, standing proud amongst the myriad of plain white.
Fragile, yet so strong in its proud stance of individuality. 
Looking somewhat like cotton candy as it sways in the gentle breeze. 
So picturesque and soothing to the eye.
A dainty platform for the numerous butterflies who sip at its nectar.
A shady shelter for the industrious buzzing bees.
Dew kissed and sun warmed, ah such a beautiful gift from Mother Nature!

REFLECTION

By Leah C Dancel



REFLECTION

The power is cast on reflection
Against the wall of grandiose obsession
Where cogent clash of power play
Disavowed its own vainglory.

Much of your imposing dreams
Skyscrapers in the sky
Look down where you fall
Vie not against the brawny might.

Let no arrogance of your prowess
Either intellectual or academic
For progress and prosperity
Let no one digress to poverty.

SIMPLE THINGS ARE BLESSINGS

By Leah C Dancel

Photo credit to the owner 

For Miemie:

Simple Things are Blessings too
Never ever take it for granted
Whether it's a little pebble handed to you
Or a marbled table sculpted for you.

Don't look beyond your wall to see
With nothing fancy hanging on its space
But look over the skies holding its beauty around with grace
Then you find something to marvel with praise.

Delightful things are found within
It's lying deep in your heart and soul
The wondrous miracles life can fill
It's never empty, never lacking, never will.

Contentment is a virtue by itself
For whatever you have, great and small
Bless others with your heart's content
Generously give never expecting a reward.

PATH

PATH
By Zana Coven

I was born in a land of dreams
Where all rainbows live
My craddle was made of stars
And Sun was my hive
My mother is a song that
Never stops to sing
Taking me in her arms
And rocking gently my dreams

My first and only friend
Shines above all nights
Dreaming dreams of silver sand
I know we are connected tight
Moon recounts me heavenly tales
While all the world sleeps 
Telling me all secrets
Universe hid from  earth

I am a daughter of invisible spirits
That unseen souls have
Powerful is my breath and my voice
Like waterfalls underwater streams
I dwell in every flower, rocks are my shelter
My mother protects me with just her smile
My father is thunder's helper 

Life is just a path
Thru which my soul flies
Learning lessons of Divine
While walking  on fresh  morning grass
I need nothing to have my peace
Light and free is my soul
Where all Suns dwell
