Take Flight

Take flight or flee
There is no other way
The stars are within reach
But your arms aren’t long enough
Pursue them to the end
And live a life of taking chances
Or seek the comfort of retreat
But your mind may wander in regret.
Not all get to fullfill their dream
But those who have
Have never been content with just dreaming.
All things are born from thoughts
But do not come to be without action.

Revisiting

It’s been such a long time since I wrote. My project in Tacloban has taken its toll on me. I have been inactive with Cebu Daily News and I haven’t written anything creative. It’s been emails after emails involving fund requests and policy execptions.

I am not the same love strucked boy in March. Love and even lust have been difficult to come by lately. It’s been hard to be romantically inspired. Maybe I’m just getting old.

I have always been the type to grow old fast and in a snap revert back to my teenage years. Work has somehow subdued these tendencies. I feel like I’m 35 or older all the time.

Orion is in view. Pulsing lights and music beats someho are making my stargazing dramatic. The sky in Tacloban is so clear.

Sleep will come hard tonight. Waking up will be much harder. There so much more I want to jot down but I can seem to put it on (virtual) paper. Perhaps another day then.
