'' The fearful path is one day you look back and say you have wasted your life ''
-------Shi Heng Yi
It's been a long time coming
Coming home to my heart
My heart leading my mind
It's been a long while like
a joy always within a child's heart
Within mine to rediscover
Eons I forgot and running after time
Waiting on validations
a child never sought
It's been a long time coming
home to butterflies in the evening garden
And gloworms in the misty night
It's been a long time coming
to understand a child's joy
That was lost now takes time to rewind
It's been along time coming
Coming home to my heart

The I that is in you is a different me than I know myself, so is me in every other person. The true me is not even known to me. And so it is about you too. The you that is in me is only known to myself than actual you within yourself. Hope to find the actual I within myself, and may you too within yourself.
'' Courageousness is letting go of things that cannot be changed,
Humility is appreciating whatever we have,
Hopefulness is trusting the divine providence
And loving is being love ''
I had waited in eternity
To let the spirit light me
And it was lit in time instinctively
The wax of you held me
And I was burning out
The more I burnt
The more you lost
But yet not for a moment
you failed to hold me
And at some point I thought
I would part
Rather than finish out
But you refrained
from turning away
from your noble fate
And left me with
nay to do but burn
myself to annihilation
While I watched your formless
form dance around me
and as fate willed
I too contemplated
in burning with utter rhapsody
And so as the curtains fell
And the ending vision ensued
In the heart of every witness
a spectacular vision was beheld
Of the wick, the wax, the fire, the dance
In the ballad of a Candle
