Carpe Diem

AinaBalagtas4 Comments

Life is a dance of fleeting light,
Moments like whispers on wings of night.
Why wait in the shadows, afraid to move,
When the stars above sing a daring groove?

Every dawn is a door, wide and new,
A chance to leap where the brave pursue.
The mountains call, the rivers run,
Don’t wait for the storm to steal your sun.

Opportunities bloom like flowers in spring,
Each with a song, a note to sing.
Stretch your hand, reach for the sky,
Don’t let the “what ifs” pass you by.

For failure’s a teacher dressed in disguise,
A wise old friend with unblinking eyes.
It whispers, “Fall, rise up again,”
Each stumble’s the path to where dreams begin.

Fear not the cracks or the broken seams,
They are the doors to uncharted dreams.
Run through the valleys, climb every peak,
Find the courage in being unique.

Time waits for no one, the sand runs fast,
Grasp each second, make it last.
For the only regret when the journey’s done,
Is the chance not taken, the race not run.

So live with fire, let your spirit soar,
Chase after the life you’ve longed for more.
Embrace the falls, and laugh at the rain—
In every storm, there’s something to gain.

The world’s a canvas, wild and wide,
Paint it boldly, leave nothing to hide.
For life’s not in waiting or standing still—
It’s found in the heart that dares the thrill.

Soulless

AinaBalagtas2 Comments

What would your life be like without music?

The Language of Our Souls

In the stillness of the night, it calls,
A melody that echoes through the walls,
More than words our lips can find,
Music speaks the heart, the mind.

With every note, a story told,
In whispered tunes or rhythms bold,
No need for voice, no need for sound,
The soul in music is unbound.

A language older than the sun,
It weaves the hearts of everyone,
In joy or sorrow, hope or pain,
The music brings us home again.

For in each beat, we’re made complete,
A silent voice, so soft, so sweet,
When words fall short, when silence grows,
Music is the language of our souls.

God, My Rock and Fortress

AinaBalagtas5 Comments

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

When storms arise and skies grow dark,
I find my shelter in Your spark.
A steadfast rock, my solid ground,
In You, O Lord, my hope is found.

When waves of fear come crashing in,
You lift me high, my soul within.
A fortress strong, no foe can breach,
In Your embrace, I find my peace.

Through valleys deep and shadows near,
Your presence drives away my fear.
My refuge in each trying hour,
Your strength alone, my mighty tower.

O God, my Rock, forever be,
The place of rest, my sanctuary.
In every trial, I will stand,
Held firmly in Your guiding hand.

Optimism every morning

AinaBalagtas4 Comments

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

Each morning breaks with tender light,
A canvas fresh, pure and white,
Where dreams from sleep, now softly stirred,
Await the breath of waking word.

The sky, a blush of golden hue,
Whispers, “Today is born anew.”
With every dawn, a chance to rise,
To greet the sun with open eyes.

The night is gone, its shadows fade,
The day ahead is yet unmade.
In morning’s glow, all things are clear,
A moment’s peace, a world sincere.

So take this gift, this daily grace,
Embrace the light, set your pace.
For every morning holds the key,
To what your spirit longs to be.

Hope II

AinaBalagtasLeave a comment

Hope is the light in the darkest night,
A whisper of dawn, a promise of sight,
It’s the seed that sleeps beneath the snow,
Waiting for spring, for its chance to grow.

It’s the flame that flickers but never dies,
A glimmer of blue in stormy skies,
Hope is the anchor in a restless sea,
A guiding star that sets us free.

It’s the breath you take when the world is still,
The strength to climb the steepest hill,
Hope is the hand that pulls you through,
When all seems lost, it’s the faith in you.

It’s the song that plays in a silent heart,
The courage to finish what you start,
Hope is the dream that you hold tight,
The beacon that shines through the endless night.

In every tear, in every pain,
Hope is the sun after the rain,
It’s the voice that says, “Just one more try,”
A force that lifts you up to fly.

So keep it close, let it burn bright,
Hope is the key to endless light,
For in its glow, you’ll find your way,
To a brighter, better, endless day.

She Can Break the Glass

AinaBalagtas5 Comments
Enough misogyny! The glass is cracked;
and she’s about to bring it down soon.

Oh, her power, fierce and bold,

In tales of old, and stories told,

She rise, unyielding, through the night,

A beacon of unwavering light.

In her strength, her spirit knows no bounds,


In grace, her presence still astounds,


With every step, she paves the way,


A force that time cannot delay.

In her nurturing hands, the future blooms,


In wisdom’s eyes, the truth consumes,


A warrior’s heart beneath soft skin,


The battles she fought, the wars within.

Her voice, a melody so pure,


Commands the tides, the winds assure,


In her tender care and fiery zeal,


The world bends to her fervent will.

In every role she chooses to play,


In shadows dark or brightest day,


A testament to power, true,


Oh, woman, all the world long owes you.

Faith

“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/111/isa.40.31.NIV

When shadows stretch across the land,
And all seems lost, hard to withstand,
A light within begins to rise,
Unseen by earth, yet known to skies.

Faith whispers soft in darkest night,
A beacon strong, a guiding light,
It lifts the weary, soothes the soul,
And makes the broken pieces whole.

No storm too fierce, no mountain too high,
Can break the trust in what’s nearby,
For faith is not just hope or dream,
It’s rooted deep in truth unseen.

It walks with you through every fire,
And fuels the heart with pure desire,
To press on through, to stand and fight,
When all seems lost, it shows the light.

Through valleys deep, through deserts dry,
Faith sees the rain, the open sky,
It knows the sun behind the cloud,
And feels the peace within the loud.

So trust in faith, let it reside,
In every step, let it be your guide,
For with it, you are never alone,
In faith, we find our way back home.

Relentless Hope

AinaBalagtas6 Comments
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.13.12.NIV

In the silent dawn before the light,
When shadows cling and dreams take flight,
A whisper stirs within the soul,
A flame that fights to stay whole.

Through storms that rage and rivers wide,
When every step feels like a slide,
Hope stands tall, a steady hand,
Guiding hearts across the land.

It’s in the quiet tear that falls unseen,
In solemn prayers and spaces between,
Where doubt may sprout, but hope remains,
A golden thread through all the pains.

Relentless hope, a force so strong,
In darkest night, it hums a song,
Of brighter days, of battles won,
Of skies that break with rising sun.

So hold it close, this hope so fierce,
It mends the wounds that life may pierce,
And when the world feels far too steep,
Let hope awaken from its sleep.
