Here I Go Again

Here I go again
After spending some time in hiatus from reading and writing
After running away from happiness and home
After estranging myself from family and friends
After slipping into a deep manhole of misery and afflictions
After shredding off ,y skin to assume a deceitful metamorphosis
After falling in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes

Here I go again
After the wages of incorrigibility, distrust and impatience
Comes the punishment, the frustrations, the tragedies and the failures
After sowing seeds of irreverence, ignorance, stubbornness and the unfading belief that life would always be good
Comes the harvest of heartaches, pains, tears and lesson learned

Here I go again
While I still am down there
I chose to MOVE ON
For the earth will never stand still no matter where we are at
The sun will continue to rise no matter how hard the rain falls
The moon will continue to shine despite the darkest hours that we may face to battle
The flowers will not cease to bloom despite the gravest of our sorrows and emotions
The birds will unstoppably soar the sky though all our hopes seem lost in the bottom of the sea
The spiders will continuously make their webs even though we may believe that ours is broken

So here I go again
Extending my arms from where I realize the true meaning of life
That life can't be forever good and serving
That we have to experience a fall so we can learn to bounce back
That life is a circle, sometimes we have to be down so we can look up

While I still am down there
I decided to MOVE ON
For if don't, no one will ever care
Because...

"When you smile, the world smiles at you,
Weep and you weep alone."

So, here you are again! Whew! o",) Now as the Dude of the Desert!

Ayaw ko na munang mag-comment tungkol sa nilalaman ng poetry na ito. Given naman kasing magaling at mahusay ka talagang magsulat.

Sige na nga sasabihin ko na, maganda ang ENTRYng ito kahit napakalalim at napaka-abstract ang dating nito sa 'kin. Alam ko namang unti-unti mo rin namang ikukwento ang mga ito sa mga susunod mong posts.

Ito ang sasabihin kong pinakamahalaga ngayon: WELCOME BACK! Akala ko'y napuruhan ka na sa pagkakasaksak sa 'yo sa likod, Dude Chico Kunejo! Buti bumalik ka na.

Happy New Year nga pala, bro! (,"o
