INVICTUS

The Craft

The Craft in the sky

So frail !

The flight of birds

So swift !

Tells the tale

Of creation and motion.

The wisdom of man

How fleeting !

The design of God

How unknown !

Need one ponder

What would prevail.

The matters of heart

An enigma !

The beauty of nature

An ensemble !

Need one fathom

The mystery of life.

The chasms man create

So needless !

The harmony of time

So serene !

Can one wither

From the path of love.

(A tribute to Late Pu Chonsei Kilong, MDC) [Is it mere coincidence that I wrote these lines on the fateful night of your passing]

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? Well, you should. In fact, life is a big miracle. There are so many things that are beyond our understanding. There are two ways to live : you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

(Quoted in the movie 'Miracles from Heaven')

So Near And Yet So Far

He thrids the labyrinth of the mind,

He reads the secret of the star,

He seems so near and yet so far,

He looks so cold: she thinks him kind

(In Memoriam by Lord Alfred Tennyson)

Water, water, every where

Water, water, every where, 

And all the boards did shrink; 

Water, water, every where, 

Nor any drop to drink. 

(The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
