The Weight of Kindness

AinaBalagtas4 Comments
“Kindness costs none
but has the power to change everything and everyone —one act at a time, it creates the world we all wish to live in, and for love to rule all the time,” just me.

Kindness has no size, no grand parade,
It’s tucked in a smile, in words softly made.
It slips through the cracks of the busiest day,
A gesture so small—but it paves the way.

Though it fits in a whisper, a glance, or a hand,
It’s heavier still than most understand.
More weighty than iron, six hundred pounds strong,
It anchors the heart where it’s carried along.

A present unwrapped by both giver and guest,
It nourishes souls, leaves both feeling blessed.
In giving, we find that we also receive—
A spark that reminds us how deeply we breathe.

Peace is no dream, not too distant to find,
If only we’d carry this truth in our mind:
The world could be healed with one simple call—
To think and do kindness, and give it our all.

To Fall

Hello, gentle soul!
Falling leaves are on the roll.
Vibrant scarlet, rust, and marigold
Cascading on top trees and down the roads.

Ivy blooms,
While melancholy looms.
In crispy morning mists and quiet afternoons,
Solitude is tuned.

Sweaters and blankets,
Hugs and embraces—
There’s magic in warmth
And nostalgia in fireplaces.

Pumpkins get botched faces,
Maples leave Canadian traces,
Oaks bear brown acorns,
Apples and tomatoes-the secrets of strong.

It has been weeks
Since the roses bid
‘So long-‘
Time’s up for summer; nothing’s wrong.

Pursue Thanks

AinaBalagtas6 Comments

 
 
 
Be anxious of nothing.
Be peaceful with everything.

Be angry of no one.
Be happy with loved ones.

Be pessimistic of none.
Be optimistic with what’s done.

Be ungrateful of no way.
Be appreciative all the way.

Be thankless of not a single day.
Be thankful everyday.

For being thankful,
Is seeing the Sun even before dawn:

That ardent debonair; a mister that
Sneaks not in window pane;

But in the head.
Romancing thoughts;

Seducing brain;
Lingering in mind,

As it teases
Day and night.

In spirit with
Tomorrow and today—

Married to Sky
Not in dismay.

In indigo,
It say we’re okay.

Fill Me

AinaBalagtas3 Comments

Like the scent of pine
In winter;
Like the green
In spring;
Like the warmth of sun
In summer;
Like the sands
In ocean;
Like the currents
In river;
Like the rapids
To waterfall–
Fill me
My darling;
Fill me,
Love me,
’til the end!

Set Your Heart Free

AinaBalagtasLeave a comment
“A heart should never be a captive of hatred, envy, jealousy, hate, angst, neither regret, to make a room for peace, love, and endless possibilities,” just me.

Free your heart from anger’s snare,
Let it rise with peaceful air.
Release the chains of hate and strife,
For love alone can give you life.

Jealousy’s grip, loose it now,
Do not bend beneath its vow.
What’s yours will come, no need to chase,
Find contentment in your pace.

Envy whispers, but let it go,
Your path is yours to truly know.
Others’ fortune is not your fate,
Breathe in patience, it’s not too late.

Angst and worries weigh you down,
But peace awaits without a frown.
Regrets may linger, but they’re past,
In the present, you’re free at last.

So clear your heart of all these things,
And feel the light that freedom brings.
With love and joy, your soul will soar,
No longer bound, forever more.

Life’s an Adventure. Live Your Best!

AinaBalagtasLeave a comment

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

Awake with the dawn, let your senses unfold,
Embrace every detail, the quiet, the bold.
Each moment, a treasure, each breath, a flame,
Life calls out your name—are you ready to claim?

The rustle of leaves, the wind’s gentle sweep,
The whisper of dreams when you’re lost in deep sleep.
The beat of your heart, the pulse in your hand,
A world rich with wonders, at your command.

See colors more vibrant, taste every sound,
Feel the earth’s rhythm through the soles on the ground.
In the smallest of moments, the simplest of scenes,
Lie the seeds of your joy, the depth of your dreams.

With vigor, with spirit, greet each rising day,
For life’s an adventure, a grand interplay.
In all that you do, in all that you strive,
Pour your whole heart, and truly, you’ll thrive.

For those who are present, who dare to engage,
Will write their own story on life’s endless page.
So live with a passion, and let yourself feel—
The beauty, the power, of each moment made real.

Therefore, live your best life, let your spirit run free,
Unchain your heart, and just let it be.
Embrace every challenge, face every fear,
For the path to your dreams is already here.

Each sunrise a promise, each sunset a song,
Reminding you daily where you belong.
In the laughter, the tears, the highs and the lows,
Is the spark of a life that endlessly grows.

Don’t wait for perfection, don’t stall for the right,
Dive into the unknown, shine your own light.
For the beauty of life is not in its plan,
But in living each moment as fully as you can.

Chase after joy, dance in the rain,
Let go of the worry, let go of the pain.
With hope in your pocket and love in your chest,
Rise every day, and live your best.

Love in Every Fiber of My Being

Love courses through my veins, unseen,
In every thread of who I’ve been.
A quiet pulse, a steady fire,
A rhythm born of deep desire.

It fills my breath, it shapes my soul,
With every heartbeat, makes me whole.
In each small gesture, soft and pure,
A love that’s boundless, strong, secure.

It wraps my bones, it warms my skin,
A force without, a spark within.
No piece untouched, no part denied,
In every fiber, love abides.

From fingertips to fleeting thought,
In every battle love has fought.
Through joy and pain, through doubt and fear,
Its whispers rise, forever near.

A love that’s lived, and breathed, and grown,
In every fiber, deeply sown.
A life entwined, a heart set free—
For love is all I am, and me.

The Beauty of Kindness

Kindness blooms in quiet ways,
Like sunlight through a gentle haze.
A whispered word, a helping hand,
A bridge of hope when none could stand.

It lifts the weary, warms the cold,
A gift more precious than pure gold.
No price to pay, no debt to owe—
It only asks for hearts to grow.

In every smile that lights the day,
In simple acts along the way,
Kindness spreads, a ripple wide,
A beauty no one can divide.

It takes the smallest seed of grace
And plants it in the darkest place,
To spark a joy, to heal a tear,
And show that someone’s always there.

For kindness, like the softest rain,
Can heal the hurt, can ease the pain.
A thread that binds us, soul to soul,
The truest form of being whole.

So let it bloom, in word, in deed,
For kindness is the world’s great need.
In every heart, in every mind,
Its beauty lingers—deep and kind.
