Adrift

Adrift

Written By; A.E.S.

The skies were painted white and black as the gobbets of celestial waters descended into the dawn of night. And on a distance hears the sound of drumming as the ocean rattles; the waves hitting rocks in its fury. My hands stretched reaching for the rail that stands firm atop the seawall, and in its stone-cold presence, the wind penetrates my fragile body as I shiver in loneliness. Alas, there he was... standing at the crossroads where the finest grains of sand meet the inclement waters. He is like the stars that withdraw in the protection of the sky, he too is now cold and far beyond. “Now love is beyond me... You, are beyond my reach.” I sigh; as I walked down the boardwalk and under the roof of an oak gazebo with pictures painted of thorny rose and vine leaves, I seat and look in solicitude. 

I closed my eyes as if to feel that he was still here and then again, the wind blew but it felt calm and surreal.  

“You seemed trouble... What’s the problem?” Alastair said as he seats smiling beside me.  

“I... uhm, I missed you.” I said, as I smile back at him. 

“Well, I missed you more.” A warmth pats my shoulders as the silence grew longer and longer and when I opened my eyes, tears rushing down my face, I smiled. Beside me was my backpack drenched, I decided to open it as if I’m letting the world see me, the real me. Inside it was a memory of ours, smiling and looking at a distant future of us together; just like what I’m doing right now, it's just that there’s a difference because I’m all alone and he’s really not here.  

Last night I dreamed of a dream; a promise spoked about a far-flung reality where I came here once and again and he’ll be here waiting for me. But I grew attached to it that it made a dream become a nightmare. Then I remember when I woke, I was soaked in sweat and now there’s that difference again because it was the rain that bathed me tonight.

And then as I removed two sandwiches; ham spread and vegetables that he liked, I put the picture down with my tumbler being his anchor to my reality as I eat in silence listening to the music of nature a harmonious song that speaks to me, “Let go...”  

And then I turned to look back to see who spoke knowing it was just my head speaking to me but then I realized, it was too late. The tumbler rolling beside me and our memory drifting away as I stand in haste to chase it. But just like that time, again I’m late... I seat in disbelief as I hugged my backpack, I’m on a blue and I don’t know what to do then I saw the key chain he gave me on my 26th birthday saying; “Goodbye.”

His Agape

He was heaven sent

. . .

He came on our darkest night

Like a white snow glared in the morning light

He helps us to glow like a flower bloom

That illuminates our murkey gloom

The melody of the heavenly dream

Echoing through a saintly gleam

His voice is a ravishing sound of silence

Ascertainment of what is providence

He created everything for us to taste the sweetness of glory

That gratify our spirit with ambrosial spice of divine savory

His wisdom sanctify our mind and added flavor

To the innocent sapience longing for savor

When a plumb journey goes wrong

His muteness bawl, make us strong

He lightens every hefty feel

Touches our heart and make it heal

He tests us with suffering and sorrow

Because He want us to meet our lustrous tomorrow

Teaching us not to set ourselves seems in prison

Because everything happens for a fetching reason

His blessings gave us inspiration

To strive hard and start a new inception

He wakes us in every fulgent morning. 

Flashing beam and reminds a new beginning

When we grasp His nurturance

Wisdom disperse as a fine fragrance

Profound serenity commence to whiff

As the scent of incense spread, we begin to sniff

Felicity is what He want to see in our faces

Liberty indulged in every places

Forget all the throe and flee

Embrace blessedness and worship Him with glee

He guides us with His eternal love

Letting us to live in His creations like dove

All He want for us is to be save

And that's through the sacrifice of the son He gave

. . .

Why did you fail your exam?

Does 19 or 20 relates to you?

Because I didn't review.

Because I didn't prepare early enough.

Because I don't attend class frequently.

Because the exam is really hard.

Because I didn't understand the lesson well.

Because I dont like the subject.

Because I didn't follow the instructions.

Because I didn't listen during the lesson.

Because my best was not good enough.

Because the exam is not related to the topic discussed.

Because I forgot what I reviewed.

Because I was late in the examination day and didn't have enough time to answer.

Because I crammed last night.

Because I felt exhausted and not feeling well.

Because I cheated in the exam.

Because I avoid studying and procrastinate.

Because I am a bad test-taker.

Because I studied the wrong topic.

Because even when I study hard, I get low grades anyway.

Because my seatmate did not let me copy his/her answers 😂

(Comment down what number/s you relate the most!)

Note: There are times in life when we experience falures not just in exams. When it happens, its time for us to evaluate our mistakes and ourselves on the things that went wrong. Once we do that, we can move forward and live without carrying baggage of regrets on our backs.

𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss

If you are my friend, please answer me this

Are we friends, or are we not?

You told me once, but I forgot

So tell me now and tell me true

So I can say I’m here for you

Of all the friend’s, I’ve ever met

You’re the one I won’t forget

You are my best friend and that will always be true

We’ve had our ups and downs, thick and thin we’ve been true

I can’t even explain it, I’m head over heels

I love being your friend, and how great it feels

The friendship we had is so rare to find

We hate to see each other in a bind

We have laughed so hard, and we’ve cried

We feel each other’s pain, if we’re hurt inside

We always can find the right word to say

To help us get through any dreadful day

We have told our darkest secrets with feeling no shame

We’ll tell each other the truth even if we are to blame

I know you as a person, I especially know you as a friend

Our friendship is something that will never end

Right now and, this second, this minute, this day

Our sister hood is here, is here to stay

I don’t have to be with you to know you’re there

We don’t have to see each other to know that we care

I know we could be apart from years upon end

But we’ll still remain the BEST of FRIEND.

Starry Night By: Vincent van Gogh

The Starry Night, a moderately abstract landscape painting (1889) of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, one of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh’s most celebrated works.

Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting is dominated by a night sky roiling with chromatic blue swirls, a glowing yellow crescent moon, and stars rendered as radiating orbs. One or two cypress trees, often described as flame-like, tower over the foreground to the left, their dark branches curling and swaying to the movement of the sky that they partly obscure. Amid all this animation, a structured village sits in the distance on the lower right of the canvas. Straight controlled lines make up the small cottages and the slender steeple of a church, which rises as a beacon against rolling blue hills. The glowing yellow squares of the houses suggest the welcoming lights of peaceful homes, creating a calm corner amid the painting’s turbulence.

Van Gogh painted The Starry Night during his 12-month stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, several months after suffering a breakdown in which he severed a part of his own ear with a razor. While at the asylum, he painted during bursts of productivity that alternated with moods of despair. As an artist who preferred working from observation, van Gogh was limited to the subjects that surrounded him—his own likeness, views outside his studio window, and the surrounding countryside that he could visit with a chaperone.

Although van Gogh’s subjects were restricted, his style was not. He experimented with the depiction of various weather conditions and changing the light, often painting the wheat fields nearby under a bright summer sun or dark storm clouds. Van Gogh was also particularly preoccupied with the challenges of painting a night landscape and wrote about it not only to his brother, Theo, but to a fellow painter, Émile Bernard, and to his sister, Willemien. In a letter addressed to the latter, he alleged that night was more colorful than a day and that stars were more than simple white dots on black, instead of appearing yellow, pink, or green. By the time van Gogh arrived at Saint-Rémy, he had already painted a few night scenes, including Starry Night (Rhône)(1888). In that work, stars appear in bursts of yellow against a blue-black sky and compete with both the glowing gas lamps below and their reflection in the Rhône River.

At the asylum, van Gogh observed the night sky from his barred bedroom window and wrote a letter to Theo describing a magnificent view of the morning star very early one morning in the summer of 1889. Because he was not allowed to paint in his bedroom, he painted the scene from memory or possibly drawings and used his imagination for the small village that did not actually exist. Employing the expressive style he had developed during his stay in Paris in 1886–88, he applied the paint directly from the tube onto the canvas, creating thick impasto and intense hues. Ambivalent about working from his imagination, van Gogh eventually regarded the finished Starry Night as a failure, and Theo frankly indicated that the painting favored style over substance.

The painting was one of van Gogh’s late works, as he committed suicide the following year. His artistic career was brief, comprising only 10 years, but it was very productive. He left more than 800 paintings and 700 to 850 drawings to his brother. When the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City purchased The Starry Night from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous, if not one of the most recognized, works in the art history canon.

Like matches in a case,

striving to go through their learning phase,

they tend to ignore the crowdiness,

like how the people on top ignore and leave them helpless.

With the awakening of our eyes, it is unthinkable that a trial will come which no one knows. A battle, that everyone is afraid of. All of us are afraid of not knowing where to stick.

With the entry of a year into our lives which is not just a normal month, it is not just a normal illness. But this year was a pain in the ass, almost everyone feels.

Every month goes by that everyone thinks the trial is over, that the Burning in the forests, The killing of animals, The spread of Viruses, The presence of strong Hurricanes, The Floods and the homeless and loved ones of life.

Everyone wants to finish this year; no one likes the pain it causes. That is where we are in the middle of November where only a few days and a month later it will end.

This year I have learned where:

1. Everyone locks on their house to be with the family and show to love them. That no matter what happens; only the family is always with us. Family which is most important.

2. Maintain health at all times.

3. This year we experienced not being able to breathe fresh air, which was blocked by Facemask and Face shield. Those every time we go out to our homes we always carry it, and wear it.

4. Everyone experienced being in control.

5. This year we have been taught to be content with what you have, and to understand what you do not have.

6. There were online classes where I used to read and watch only on TVs.

7. This year has taught us to endure some days without power.

8. Be independent

9. A lot of money does not matter, just enough.

10. And lastly let us learn to pray, to pray not only for ourselves but for all.

Here this year we were taught everything we thought was easy, we were taught in a trial we have never experienced. Maybe, this is the time to change, the time to change ourselves because this person has taught us, that not everything is easy, that not everything is available in a moment that not everything is permanent.

That we have experienced this, not to regret who is at fault, but to love each other more and show true heroism to this person who no one really knows when this fight will end. We just know in ourselves that we will fight and we will fight until now.

And just one of the most important lessons here is to stay in love with each other, have bayanihan, and strengthen our faith in the Lord. Because we have no other gratitude even though we have experienced hardship, let us be happy because we woke up, learned, and no matter how much was damaged, no matter how much we lost, we still have faith in him and strengthen it even more through prayer. A Prayer, not only to oneself but to all.
