"The charm of mortal life, since her arrival has been joy, thoughts and longing of togetherness...a wish to be always behind her and protect her...maybe life after all gives us a second chance. And with your arrival, I now indeed believe that it sincerely does for our heavenly father cannot be heartless, as he instilled us with hearts of love, trust, faith, compassion and joy! .....

......Time tickles in joy and passes with a melancholic song. The hollow cry of penetrable sounds from the wild beasts underneath the moonlight alerts me of your hopeful
presence...and I am waiting..."

Ever since I first started to write my first poem and article, I've loved to write. I continue to learn to write. In doing so, I let my feelings, thoughts, and emotions run wild and let people know what I intend to say, what I want to say. For me, writing is a creative expression to express what we never can say by speaking... Your readings and feedback are always important to me. Therefore, I wish that you'd write to me.

Time Factor

Ever since “time” had been conceived by the human race, it has always been a barrier between our dreams and limitations. Time with its unkind flow is the most painful and bitter experience that a human bears apart from death. To put it more simply, time is the king of everything…including death…that is feared by all. The passing seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years are its very symbols that is feared by all, and suffered by few in the form of deaths, disaster or crisis.

All of us are the victims of incessant time that has limited our dreams and exhorted us to accept the reality. The time factor is, by all means the most discerned thing we have been put through in spite of our unwillingness. That is why we dream where we could beat time…dream where we are the almighty, and where time is the un-spared culprit for killing humans!

The homo sapiens is believed to be the most powerful existing creature of the world. But, how are we to define ourselves as the most powerful when we are an ant in front of time? In the course of our development along with time, we have invented almost everything that could ease our companions. We’ve brought into existence those massive buildings and bridges, and remarkable technologies unimagined by our forefathers. We’ve developed scientific theories from E=mc2 to the quantum theory, and yet we’ve not developed any theories to beat time. We’ve stepped into the moon, and mars; those distant planets. Yet, we haven’t been able enough to step a foot on the time factor. If only we were able enough to wage “War against Time” like that of terror, every nations of the world would pass their bills in full agreement! Then could we possibly call ourselves the “most powerful” existing creatures of the world.
A War against Time could be possible because there is so much hidden in nature…so much we still have to learn about. We, the energy gobbling creatures lack and will lack the python’s patience, the snake’s power to feel the earth’s vibration, and the falcon’s speed all by ourselves. The time factor with its immense strength captivates us making us proffer its power by will or by force! And, until and unless we have the capability to beat time, we have; to me no right to claim ourselves as the most powerful existing creatures of the world because that is the greatest enemy we have to fear from…with no hope of winning!
