Camping Ground
Come and gather around,
under the sun, under the moon,
words are the fires, words are the blankets.
Be courageous,
defenseless in this vulnerability,
and let’s praise.
Being weak or being strong are no different,
truly, this circle is the bridges of them all.
It is time to break in,
further and deeper,
for the pieces scrapped on heart .
not to escape, to embrace.
not to hide, to celebrate.
On the silent land inside,
shed the curtains into light,
confide what laid down on the ground,
weave them to some cold or warm narrative
and let stories blow with the wind
burn, fire them up, even in day light
with birds they sing
with rains they cry
with thunders they scream
with rivers they whisper
In this void,
some sounds will never even fade away.
Those voices may lie low,
and they hang in the air.
As shades fall,
they will raise and speak up, on their own beauty.

With Lights and Melodies
Lights travel bright,
and shower down on thousands souls with the sea of colors
Lines of rhythms roar,
and douse thousands spirits with the ocean of melodies
…the sky opens up.
And they soar.

Hues on the Blue
as to fly and not to die
seamen to labour and not to harbour
to weather sharp breeze and chilly air
as water sparkles in the sun
as blue of the ocean and the sky
lines of jukungs sail and race
to write colours on the horizon
…and so bright a day come to be.

A Waving Flag
A waving flag calls for duty,
for one to share being with others.
A waving flag bid farewell,
for one to be free.
Out to the world one travels,
to the universe one belongs.
Homes are shelter of many places,
wherever body and soul respite,
for another day is another journey.
And so many other flags one will find,
on the land of heart,
they stay, and they wave as one.

(To)Night Not Alone
dark, and music is lighting it up
cold, and crowd is warming it up
silence is fading
vacuum is vanishing
night is not alone.
