an ironic alliance with a faithless past,</div>

You were born!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The day you came into the world<o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
and changed it for the better!<o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also praise and sing about<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The day when we first met,<o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cherish that first time <o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
You held my hand<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
right into yours <o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
and that very first hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, may you have dreams and your dreams all<o:p></o:p></div>

I hope you seek only to find<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A future of yet more greatness.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
My memory can fade,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My memory can go blank,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I shall still have you<br />
With me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When held in the arms <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of a teary beholder<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Silence can speak, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It can even get you back home<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
long enough,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To walk the same old streets<o:p></o:p><br />
You used to belong to</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And be young.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Who needs more evidence?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Who needs more proof<br />
There was “us”?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Who can doubt those eyes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though they don’t see the future<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But only the past?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a photograph<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A heart never ceases to beat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Only our time is stopped<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right between two kisses,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Only our souls are healed<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sharing a smile so selfless,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or a moment of clarity<br />
with the taker<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right before the age of the selfies.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though frozen for life<br />
inside a silver frame<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or an elusive prisoner to a flaring screen</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You are still perfect.<o:p></o:p></div>

I look back and see no storm<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lifeboat, as always, is empty<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am adrift<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On a shoreless sea<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A gifted sailor </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Running out of worries<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Leaving behind a tangled net of what-ifs<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Feeling only lighter, not lonely<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Inside a tangible, spider-web-like breeze<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Swinging amid a burning horizon<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In circles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is hope<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In this immaterial voyage of mine<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For a human pendulum<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Constantly eluding balance!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A cold comfort keeps growing around<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Taking over the melting spirits within<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No anchorage visions for now<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or into the wind <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To daunt me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From a distance I might be just a point<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One step farther and I become invisible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No mermaid song<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To cloud my judgement,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No agony in the drinking of sea water,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No strings;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Only one piece of rope </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Attached to my pride.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember there were times</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’d resent seeing a lighthouse<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or hearing the “Land, ho!”cry<br />
Or defensively anchoring.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The perk of being your own crew </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
May break one's soul into spells of magic<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Making no piracy worthwhile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been everywhere<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surviving my past<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In plain sight, I am here and now,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though concealed from the rest of the world<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can see me:<br />
Just wondering why</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The shorter straw is never the last.<br />

<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">When we
grow old</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">We become
either poems or myths.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">We should
never become crystal tears<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">or broken
pieces of heaven<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">or
prospects of ignorant bliss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">Were we
not true to our own souls,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">to the
choices we had<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and the
chances we missed,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">We’d
regret more, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">w</span><span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">e'd
forget </span><span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">the last </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">instead
of the least</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and
remember its tragic core.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">If it
were just for me, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">In times
like these<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">of
constant sorrow </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">(but such due grief)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">the seeds
of doubt would replace only<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">the sour
fruit of deceit<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and they
would feel, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">without filling,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">its most fragrant void.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">One last
pledge be made, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">one
solemn truth to admit</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and be told<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">I once
passed an olive branch to a man<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">then let
the sun go down<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">on his
faith <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and maybe
his love,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">after
promising him the moon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">I am sure
what they say is all real<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">that the
healing was in his pain<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">like some
whispers are </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">in the summer wind<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">So the
echoes I’d hear<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">Were the
fears we’d breathed'n before<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">And they
weren’t in vain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">You see,
as youngsters </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">there's</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">this </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">tendency<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">to rush
into dead ends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">And as we grow older,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">We promise ourselves w</span><span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">e shall
be poetry</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and that
we shall remember the white of the snow,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">those walks against those crimson-red sunsets<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">that

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and hope we
shall cherish <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">the hours
we don’t regret.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">Let’s say
it together- <b>youandme</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">before we are too old!!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">As
long as we both shall live<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">We are
two revenants </span><span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">without sin,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">Two mourners </span><span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">a half-lifetime away, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">the unbaptised stars above<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">and maybe a gentle
morning breeze<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida console"; font-size: 12pt;">guiding us both into oblivion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What emotes me most is that we can create such long-lasting memories
together with others, share our blessings and our lives willingly or
coincidentally and build unforgettable moments and perfect relationships with complete strangers (at first) who simply win our hearts (against all odds) without effort for the rest of our days.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That's why I do welcome and (will) always cherish the time and attention I get, value the presence of all my loved as well as my loving ones in my past, present and future and love my life with its mysterious ways and heart-melting lessons.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What touches my very soul is the chance I've been given to breathe in so many beautiful places I've fallen in love with. They, too, live inside me and shape my inner heaven which will never lock me out. :)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Somehow, life's unpredictability catches me unprepared for so much happiness. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to meet these wonderful, wonderful people who choose me when they have so many (better) options and possibilities, to be in such amazing places which make my heart beat faster and my faith grow stronger. They make me not only feel special but also proud of who I am and give me so much hope for tomorrow! And the best part is that I'm never lonely when I think of them and smile happily ever after.</div>

Some crater ashes feel like pure silk,<o:p></o:p></div>

lots of significant dots, lines and circles<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
or, depending on the climate,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
another scale model of lost reality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For so many years on end,<br />
(I could swear it for both now)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
there was an intersection <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
between latitude and longitude right there;<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So much youth, so much beauty</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- maybe too much love-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
in the center of a dry, unmapped river bed.<o:p></o:p></div>

1…2…3…4… Sometimes it takes a while to start something…Then,
after something finishes, it may take a while before realizing its meaning, its
wisdom, its purposes…Everyone knows
that, at times, waiting is advisable and that patience often pays off, hard work
also pays off, so does doing the right thing, staying true to yourself...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Each year, there are so many lessons to learn, so much
experience to add to our becoming, so many new pages to write, word by word,
minute by minute… every moment of every woken hour… There is no real plagiarism
in real life. Everything we experience turns into a “one and only” memory and
we are the only true owners and rightful beneficiaries of these treasures.
Also, with every significant person and every role they play in our lives…
there has to be self-improvement, self-development and even some sort of self-enlightenment
sooner or later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ugo Eze once said: “Be careful who you make memories with.
Those things can last a lifetime.” This year, I’ll be more than careful. I don’t
want to help create anything less than beautiful. So, I will use the right to be selective without feeling sorry about it. I also won’t settle for “average”
this year…when it comes to my own work. I’ll be a better version.<o:p></o:p></div>
