Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Richness
Treasured pages
Gems of wisdom therein -
Bountiful ink from which I write
...

Where poppies grow
There lies your foe
Who seeks a harvest
Of destruction.
...

Shared Joy is double joy,
It keeps on multiplying.

Shared Sorrow is half a sorrow
...

Selfish restrictions
Gripping the heart.

Unmasked emotions,
...

'There is power in a hug', as some would vainly say
Although it can lift for a moment, our human pain today.
...

T hese placid waves bring songs of the sea
R est my soul and soothe my mind so easily
A nd as I close my eyes I find there peace
N ature's touch and calm that I missed
...

It is better for a man to be kind than to win
Every dispute or argument that may come his way.
Speaking one's mind is a freedom we've seen
But it's the Kindness in our hearts, that's the giveaway.
...

The soothing scent of pine trees
Brings those lovely memories,
As I close my eyes I'm back there
Amidst the sound of childhood laughter.
...

There is a final analysis and this we must not forget
When all is weighed, exposed and seen after our moment of Death,
And there we face the Truth of all our words and deeds today
Seen in the searing light of what the Word of God does say.
...

Like the surge of rolling waves rushing in
Laughter moves with unexpected urgency
Lithe and spontanously, it flows sweeping
Loosens up the pouting lips to a roar that's free
...
