A Soul's Journey (To You And For You)

Serendipity indeed!

When my soul meet yours.

When our roads converge.

When our lives intertwine.

Her soul is as pure as water.

Her's is as beautiful as the stars.

My soul is a scarred one.

Mine's masked like that in the Opera.

Oh dearest soul!

May you shine like the rays of the morning sun.

May your wishes come true like it was a command.

May you ever be beautiful as I always see you.

Our destination is the same but our roads aren't.

Yours is paved by perseverance and love.

Mine is a path taken because I was lost.

Two different paths taken for a single purpose.

I am afraid that this path of mine is taking its toll.

I am afraid that you'll be far away.

I am afraid that our journey together may end anytime soon.
I am afraid that my world is crashing down on me.

If I ever lose and if I ever leave your side,
Know that I did my best to continue.
Know that I did it for you.
And then look ahead and go forth.

There was only you in the beginning.
And because of you, there was me.
I shall always be at your side.
Like how one wished to become the wind for his dearest.

For you my dearest soul, I shall fight one last time.
Let me have you as my goal.
Let me hold your hand again,
Only if I win this long and tiring battle.

Inside A Fishbowl

Every person is like a fish inside a fishbowl. The other fishes are like your friends and loved ones. The water, the bond connects you and your friends.

People tend to stay within their social circle, within their fishbowl. They are always in a place near their friends and loved ones. Some people choose to go out of their "fishbowls" and live in other places. There, they become alone in front of strangers. People look for friends as fishes look for other fishes.

Once they fit in their new environment, they are now in a new bowl with other fishes. They may be happy and contented but there will come a time where you think of the past. The time when it feels like you are longing for the "water" that you are used to. It's the time when you think of your dear old friends. There comes a time when you are happy in the present and it brings back the past. The memories of your loved ones, those happy moments.

"Only in quiet waters do thing mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world."

                                                                                          -Hans Margolius 

Your friends are far away from you. They are in another "fishbowl". Go back to where you came from, even just for a little while. If you are lost, don't give up. Go back to your friends. You'll see that the other fishes are waiting for you.. Hoping to see you again.

Friends are friends. You should "water" the seed of friendship that you implanted on each other. You should reach out and communicate with them. When you feel alone, find a friend and you are not alone anymore.

“I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other”
