Inspired by the intricate details of the universe

I hold a cup of tea 

Looking out the window

I see the sun rising high up in the horizon

I feel a little melancholy

As I am trying to survive through the cracks of my life

 

One after another, I hop onto shaky grounds

Feeling scared and uncertain,

the feeling wraps me like a cocoon

the feeling haunts me wherever I go

The uncertainty that entraps in my own small world

the feeling that sinks into the depth of my soul

 

One after another, I overcome each small obstacle

Slowly but surely

One after another, I hop onto danger that lurks around me like a shadow

It is tiring and yet unfathomable what these obstacles will lead me to

Will it lead me closer to the unknown of the universe like a black hole?

 

Yet, there is always the light at the end of the tunnel,

Hope springs eternal

Hope gives rise to compassion and resilience

Hope is the guiding pathway to the edges of the universe

Without hope, there will only be darkness and no light

 

With prayer, comes hope and ease.

With prayer comes the conversation with the higher power

To desperately trying to get His attention

To desperately trying to get him to listen to my prayers

 

With prayer, things become more clearer 

like how rainy days clear out the haze in the sky, 

With hope, things become more optimistic with clear guidance

 

The feeling of hopelessness as more obstacles come your way

the feeling that things cannot be resolved through your way

the tightness of the chest as you hardly breathe in air

 

But know that hope and prayer are two elements that clear the haze

The haze of uncertainty and hopelessness

Let’s hope for better days ahead

Let’s pray for better days to come. 

 

Life can be challenging at times

Life can be cruel

But life has its purpose 

Life is a divine engineered story

A story that tells of varying plots 

Let life guide you to be who you are meant to be

Stay calm and be patient with what lies ahead.
