Search for Transparency

Markos W. Gabriel

Why have you chosen lies over truth

pain over pleasure, sadness over joy

jealousy over care?

You don't know what you want

but hoaxing, hovering door to door

valueless, superficial concern

fake a to z

fake inside out.

Non-transparent

eclipsed, shadowed

with dust of emotion

you flirt with no break.

Unfiltered, unevaluated emotions

short lived impact.

You can be a farmer, with values to hold

but why save weeds?

A heart is made for a purpose

for long lasting love, worthy of your time

harvesting doublefold with the seed of innocence.

There is no short cut to cross the river

your virtual flow longs to be real.

so mend the bridge, secure your pathway.

When the time is due you'll cross the river.

There you'll have joy, care and pleasure.

Footprints

Markos W. Gabriel

Looking back at my footsteps

steps of bare foot

hesitant to walk, hesitant to stop

caught in a dilemma

at times doubt and impatience

experiencing bitter sweet

losing track, losing balance

despair ruling, avalanche of hope

whom to turn to?

Turning back isn't manly

going on is not safety.

Pause and believe.

He who gave feet provides wings.

Cherish the seed of confidence

wisdom flourishes, love blossoms.

Experience tasted like gold

no matter the weather, the freezing despair

the avalanche of hope ...

I witnessed the change and saw my footprint

I thank Him for the wing and my giant footprint.
