One Rainy Night



Cry with me, O moon
amid this drear starless night.
Breathe it out like the furious wind,
shout as loud as the roaring thunder,
flood this earth with tears.
The nature would understand us.
This world is diseased beyond all healing.
It isn't as peaceful as we are in reverie.
We will always be bombed with insults,
burnt alive with hate,
and destroyed by pain.
It will always try to mar our beauty.
So let's grieve tonight for all that we've lost.
And when our eyes bring tears no more,
our mouths already parched,
and our hearts weary,
we will lay down to rest.
We will lay down to rest.

I Believe in Infinity

At about quarter to 5 in the morning,
I saw the moon and realized 
that it's actually 384,400 kilometers away from the earth.

I then gazed at the black sky that surrounded it,
and marveled at the fact that
I'm actually seeing a glimpse of what is far beyond the earth.
I realized, I was seeing infinity in its concrete form.

I swerved my gaze ahead of me,
and beheld an extension of that same black sky.
I then thought that if I would clear the world
with buildings and anything that obstruct my view ahead,
I'd clearly see infinity not just above me
but around me.

I then woke up from reverie and smiled.
I remembered, infinity is where God is.
