when bubbles cry in the open sea
drifting day and night
wandering
new places became home
but didn’t find its destined mecca

memories float in our past
finding a place to live in our present
but time sometimes doesn’t agree
when to be noted and be obvious
and be painted in black and white

Coast guard have to stop them from going into the sea to prevent untoward incidents to happen in this time of the rainy season. Warnings have been announced and circulated not to go on sail but some fishermen ignored such warnings.

Like the busy bees…

i’d like to see you bouncing from earth to moon
caressing me to start a lightning to boooom
to have my own ticket to reach the sky
is to give you the chance to see my lovely smile

from darkness i pass a lonely passageway
guessing which route to avert a possible stray
followed a glittering light guiding me beside
my shadow is my friend escorting me with pride

i hear the sounds of trouble in front and at the rear
but i won’t give a chance to awaken hints of fear
i won’t wait myself to wilt inside a tough cocoon
sand dune is the place for a head-on collision

hear me, oh lovely moon of the peaceful night
among the races, spread your bright light far and wide
i can see you up there, it’s also seen by black and white
this is our earth, you’re our moon, we don’t have to fight


land, water and air are here we all own
leaders of countries, lead for peace, make it known
share what you have for all humanities to survive
like the busy bees living and sharing a beehive
