日出


雨的氣息 是回家的小路
路上有我 追著你的腳步
腳下邊 保存著昨天的溫度
你抱著我 就像溫暖的大樹

雨下了走好路 這句話我記住
風再大 吹不走祝福
雨過了就有路 像那年看日出
你牽著我 穿過了霧
叫我看 希望就在黑夜的盡處

哭過的眼 看歲月更清楚
想一個人 閃著淚光是一種幸福
又回到我離開家的小步
你送著我 滿天燕子都在飛舞

雖然一個人 我並不孤獨
在心中 你陪我看每一個日出

(Chinese words: 梁文福)

Excellently crafted words
Reflective of my current state of mind

Inspired and stirred
Below my little cheeky verse you find



***

It felt like a long time ago
Tho it's been only a week or so...

Pain grows as we let go
After the rain, the rainbow shows
Silver linings of clouds in the sky
Rays of hope at every sunrise

Whether life turns out nice or sigh
Smile and embrace each new surprise
For with each low and high
One emerges stronger and wise

* * *

Daily grind from 9 to 5
Bosses we'd better not defy
With no advice, our mac gets upsized
With fries and spices in disguise

Working hard and playing hard
Bringing clients big bang for their buck
We fought a lot, but soon forgot
Striking a chord at La Baroque

Every year when Xmas struck
We pray hard that we get no mug
With a little bit of luck
We don’t end up with what-the-…

Creative buys we specialize
Everything better do nice nice
Otherwise, midnight to KHL we fly
To good appraisal we say bye bye

Fighting fire or saving gaia
We perspire to do what's required
So prior to 50 we can retire
And lead the life we so desire

Be kind always, to friends and foes
As age takes its brutal toll, and we slowly grow old
We can never really know
Who will lead us to the elusive pot of gold

* * *

Now the clock is slow, and life is low
Got so much time to throw
Surf the channels, count my toes
Watch reality tv shows

Life is cold without the dough
Scratch and scrimp from head to toe
Friends scoffed and told me so
Then I wasn't sold, but now I know

With tears that won't dry, we said goodbyes
May we not brood and perpetually cry
But perk up to be dandy and fine
And set forth with eyes firmly on the prize

My dear sister and bro, how I miss you so
The sun may rise, the wind may blow
And friends may come and go
But you'll always remain in my heart and soul

Life is full of surprises - witty, compelling and utterly unforgettable. Be nice to yourself and you would get what you want and wish for eventually, believe me.

Hi Autumn. An appropriate name at this time of the year. Will your name change with the change in season? :) Yeah.. One must not only hear, but listen as well. Heh
