Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

We were rambunctious
Daring, so carefree,
Nothing was perilous
With our youth's curiosity
...

What I perceived to be happiness
Turned out to be a den of darkness,
For you transformed to who you were-
A beast so full of hate and anger.
...

Hello, have you lost your human values?
Were they shoved down there on your socks
To rot as smelly forgotten refuse
Like fossil in those decayed moss-covered rocks?
...

No feel-good poetry to grace your eyes
Just cutting honest words aimed here to slice
Bloated egos and self-exalting platitudes
Vexations that expose a vicious attitude.
...

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.
...

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.
...

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
...

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

Eyes closed
I listen to the sound of rain
touched by the breathe a gentle breeze
As the earth sings content
...

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.
