I go a distance away from pressures and noises— <br />Away from a lonely world where tears should have to wait, <br />Where smiles are forced to come out from those with brokenness; <br />I choose to run away from the world-dictated fate. <br /> <br />Beyond the stars I look and see a universe <br />Where balance remains without anyone to protest. <br />Teary-eyed I enter a land with Crystal Rivers <br />Where trees bear fruits that are sweeter than all this world’s best. <br /> <br />Though paradise is the most perfect refuging place <br />But to kiss and pass its gates I do not yet desire <br />Though deep down I’m so excited to see the King’s face <br />For I know after a rest there is a greater fire. <br /> <br />I am still here to continue my work and service <br />And to fulfill to God my allegiance and promise. <br /> <br />http: //www.poemhunter.com/obed-dela-cruz <br />http: //www.poetfreak.com/poet/ObedDelaCruz <br />http: //obed-dela-cruz.blogspot.com/ <br />http: //princeobed.multiply.com/ <br /> <br />Copyright © 2010 by Prince Obed de la Cruz <br /> <br />(August 3,2010; Marikina City) <br /> <br />(This poem is written by Obed Dela Cruz.
