LOST CHILDREN

We are lost children

Scattered across the world

Under one big cloud

Same star, same moon and sun

The sea between us is shallow

It can't drown away our dreams

We share same heart that need be loved

And hope embedded that can't be lost

The door in the heart is left ajar

Wanting to be kept warm through the night

It's no coincident we met and fell in love

The sky can't be hidden from a dove

Does a heart seeking to be hugged

I MUST DANCE

I must dance while the music of life beats

Can't always achieve the things hoped for

It's a long journey from home to destiny

Had to dress the bed before I lay on it

There is no specific direction or pathway to life

Everyday fate I embraced with open arms

To wade away the guilt of an indecisive mind

Strife long overdue but the heart got to tag along

And harvest from sacrifices long made

For a man to be fulfilled and accomplished

Of a long journey away from home

TOSSED AWAY

Everyday life is tossed away

Like falling stars that can not be traced

A dark cloud seems to be above man's world

Shadows walk freely among men

The sun's stolen away from life existence

Life is lost and hope hidden from every soul

Scarlet smokes sprung and overwhelm the sky

Conscience is castaway 

Man is left as scavengers to survive

Life is but short, yet dreams are far away

Can not hold a grip anymore of man's existence

As the richness of life rots
