A Snowflake in the Spring
A Snowflake in the SpringI dance, I swirl, I float, I fly,
I'm lifted up before I take a dive.
I land on a patch with slow, soft silence,
I land among my fellow friends.
Each of us are different, each unique,
Our differences exist, but they're hard to see.
Some stick together,some float away,
But many join and leave us everyday.
The time swiftly flies, and so do I,
Finally I find home beneath the sky.
Silently I sit there among the ones I love,
Many wither away, nothing can be done.
In darkness I was born, and in darkness I live,
So I don't know much, and there's much less I can give.
I've lived a free, naive and short life,
I'm happy not much was filled with strife.
And now I sit and wait, not knowing for what.
But I know that my waiting is not for naught.
I look up once more and I see the Sun.
He's shining the brightest light he's every done.
I smile and sparkle and I slowly close my eyes,
In cold and darkness I was born, In warmth and light I die.
my niece is cute...
i went to Glasgow during the weekend to visit my sister for Hari Raya (Eid Mubarak). abang Ulma and their daughter ayu was there as well. and to make things even home-ier, my sis down in Essex came up as well! so we had a lil second day of Raya celebration of our own.there was a celebration coincidentally,but we didnt stay long coz we were tired and really wanted to catch up on things. the fact that i was only going to be there for one night made me quite sad. and to make leaving harder, my niece didn't wanna let me go!!! waa!! the whole time i was there, if she was in her pram, she wud hold my finger as her daddy pushed her.
i tried to explain to her that i wud only be there for a night, n that i wud have to leave the next day. i told her again a few hours before leaving but she kept saying, "Later ah?karang...". it seriously broke my heart having to tell her, "no,i have to go now...Hani has to go to school now.but i will see u after a few sleeps back at home with Nini k?" and with that she pouted her lip, and i kissed her goodbye,cried a few tears and left heavy hearted.sniff...
oh well...at least unlike many others,i got to spend raya wth some of my family members. yay!!
CALLING MY NAME
The train is moving but time stands still.
I close my eyes and hope the tears don't spill.
I look outside, but there is no outside to see,
just a distorted reflection of me.
I hear her speak my name and my heart aches as i try to find her.
But alas it is all in my head, for my memories still stir...
I picture my brother behind a glass wall,
As I try to reach him I run,I fall,I crawl...
My brother disappears, but the glass wall remains,
And then I hear her call my name.
Her sweet voice, so young, so innocent, so infantile,
Calling me, wanting me,I can't be there. I cry.
I wish I knew if my brother would do the same.
If he would want me, miss me, and call my name.
I wonder if he'll remember me when I come home.
I wish he'dknow it's me when i call him on the phone.
The train rattles,as still pictures run through my mind,
the train slows, quickens and I see my words fall behind.
This is my stop,I tidy up my things and stand to leave,
As I walk I look back to see my distorted reflection watch me.
