Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

All Art requires diligent study,
The persistence to learn and excel.
The same goes with writing Poetry,
We study and read, to write well.
...

Do you think learning ever stops?
Everything we do here demands it.
Each day there is more than enough
That our mind can grasp and grip.
...

Silence is a deafening scream
Piercing the heart that waits,
Tearing the mind at the seams
A subtle torment but great.
...

Where is Peace? Peace
Falls prey to scheming Terror
Hunted by these
Who conspire together
...

Manifest Your Glory in our days, in our time make it known,
That You are Eternal God and Salvation is in You alone.
Humble the arrogant and the proud of heart-
By the Power of Your Spirit may the Truth impart,
...

Ngayon Ang Araw, Kaibigan!

Kailan ba, Kaibigan, ang araw ng kaligtasan?
Ito ba'y isang araw na maaaring ipagpaliban?
...

Just what do I feel about Poetry?
I close my eyes and there in my mind
See a magical gate that opens softly
To a field of green with fresh daisies I find.
...

'Men will hate you because of Me.'
His words now ring out so loud and true.
All who believe now suffer greatly
Persecution is here for me and you.
...

Shock and the veil of unbelief
Cloaks the mind with numbness.
More deaths bring about sudden grief
More killings, all so senseless!
...

Blaming God is an easy take
For the many blunders a government makes.
For all the attacks and the violence
There is God to blame, does that make sense?
...
