Reflection Part I – Just Me

I've had just enough time to...   reflect on just me

Taken of the reflection found one early morning in the lake in Ampang Hill

There are two sides to me

Both sides are real

But which side is true?

Or can both sides be true as well

I sat on the water’s edge

And look at my reflection

Look at my reflection

For that is the only me I can see

But I know, I feel

Another me that I cannot see

It resides in me and argues

I feel therefore it is me

But the me who thinks

Spell in clear logical steps

Why without thoughts

Me cannot even exists

So I sat at the water’s edge

Gazing into my reflection

Gently coalescing all the me

Serenely, into just me

Silence Is The Stillness Within.

I've had just enough time to...   be silent.

Taken of the monkey who asked me to be silent in a Kuching shop

Shall we communicate in silence?

Words only get in the way

Sweep them all away

And Let silence rule the day

It speaks no truth

It tells no lies

It does not explain nor elaborate

Or paints wondrous pictures for the mind

Uncluttered Unpolluted

It is the gentle ripple of a still pond

Not the roaring superhighway

Of a mind racing under closed lids 

Silence is not the absence of sound

But the stillness within

_______

Silence is golden...

but my eyes still see.

Silence is golden, golden.

But my eyes still see.

I Don't Know (The Equation of Life)

I've had just enough time to...   answer with "I don't know"

Taken during a lecture in Dongguan, China when I don't know the equation

I don’t know the equation of Life

Presented on the white board

To the last two decimal

Neat and tidy

My mind is blank

My emotion in turmoil

Everyone were nodding their heads

But mine was violently shaking

“Life is a formula!”

But mine doesn’t equate!

I follow the rules

I read the books

I listen to the experts

And experts don’t lie

Do they?

They show me the path we should take

They have a shortcut

Only experts can make

When I asked why?

I got an “F”

And shown the door

Now I cannot be an expert-like

I’ve lost the Equation of Life

No certificate, no certificate

Condemned to die

_______ 

I don't know what you smoke or what countries you've been to

if you speak any other languages other than your own

but I'd like to meet you

I don't know if you drive if you love the ground beneath you

I don't know if you write letters or panic on the phone

still I'd like to call you all the same, if you want to, I am game.

Lisa Hannigan - I Don't Know

The Angel Near By.

I've had just enough time to...   look for the Angels near by.

If you want to see Angels, first you must know how to look.

If you look too hard
You’ll never find
The Angel nearby.

For an Angel can’t be seen
With your eyes, she
Cannot be thus recognized.

 

For your mind tells you

That is not how 

An Angel looks like.

Let me whisper you a secret

That only very few knows -

An angel will appear

If you let your heart

unflold.

_______

Well, I'm looking for an angel

someone to watch over me

someone to lean on my shoulder

I wanna feel how love can be

But these things they don't come easy

I've learned my lesson well

some things don't work the way you planned

sometimes you just can't tell
