| I was here from the moment of the Beginning, and here I am still. And I shall remain here until the end Of the world, for there is no Ending to my grief-stricken being. I roamed the infinite sky, and Soared in the ideal world, and Floated through the firmament. But Here I am, prisoner of measurement. I heard the teachings of Confucius; I listened to Brahma's wisdom; I sat by Buddha under the Tree of Knowledge. Yet here I am, existing with ignorance And heresy. I was on Sinai when Jehovah approached Moses; I saw the Nazarene's miracles at the Jordan; I was in Medina when Mohammed visited. Yet I here I am, prisoner of bewilderment. Then I witnessed the might of Babylon; I learned of the glory of Egypt; I viewed the warring greatness of Rome. Yet my earlier teachings showed the Weakness and sorrow of those achievements. I conversed with the magicians of Ain Dour; I debated with the priests of Assyria; I gleaned depth from the prophets of Palestine. Yet, I am still seeking truth. I gathered wisdom from quiet India; I probed the antiquity of Arabia; I heard all that can be heard. Yet, my heart is deaf and blind. I suffered at the hands of despotic rulers; I suffered slavery under insane invaders; I suffered hunger imposed by tyranny; Yet, I still possess some inner power With which I struggle to greet each day. My mind is filled, but my heart is empty; My body is old, but my heart is an infant. Perhaps in youth my heart will grow, but I Pray to grow old and reach the moment of My return to God. Only then will my heart fill! I was here from the moment of the Beginning, and here I am still. And I shall remain here until the end Of of world, for there is no Ending to my grief-stricken being. Khalil Gibran This is a poem written by the famous Khalil Gibran..I love the poem so much as it tell us how good we are, we still a human being who will always surrounded by simple things that matter to us..and the best thing is, we always have no idea on how to deal with it..when i read this poem, it kinda makes me think back on how do i react upon things, how good i am on handling them..we are human who's full with wisdom and might but sometimes we just don't know how to use it.. |

Coffee Freak
Why you say what you say?
I'm beautiful in the beginning
and always to the very end...
You look at me in amazement
I do not know why you do...
It wakes me up and put in its
time always, it defend...
You know I talk about coffee
for it enlightens my day as well
as yours as well told....
How beautiful can this be when
you see a smile and laughter?
Not a frown of dismay or sound
of gloom, but you see me...
Yes, I love coffee, year round it's
my thing, daily 365, want to add a
day or two if you could?
I think it's beautiful, look into the mirror
at the cafe' yonder, go verbally free...
What a wonder it is to you and also to
the coffee lover diehard in me!
