Loving You

Ruby S. Bernardo

"Love doesn't walk on eggshells. It shatters through humiliating stumbles and falls. It breaks into song sans regard for perfect pitches and tunes. It laughs uninhibitedly and with reckless abandon not at, but with - another. It holds the other person's hands not because it's cold, but that it feels so right. It lingers to look at sunrises and ducks and quiet lakes and see depth and meaning where others may not.

Love is talking until dark turns into dusk, and back again. Love writes with the soul guided by the heart and is read by 'one', who finally understands. It finds no reason to love, but love itself. Love is not ending whatever loneliness there wasn't, but celebrating with another being's journey and coming to one's own.

Love takes nothing away from the beloved but the soothing comfort of marveling at the world with two sets of eyes, souls and hearts that beat as one."

Sweetly as One

SWEETLY AS ONE

Together we lower the moon and raise the sun,
An ocean apart, but sweetly as one.

This love is in the rhythm of earth’s revolution.
Whether it comes to rest
or forever spin without friction.

No living thing that stirs its surface
Will alter a second in time
The sound of your heart will only be heard
not by meteors or comets, but mine.

A fatherly sigh, of divine breath lifts us,
Like dust from the planet, so gently
As two souls collide out of billions who tried
Finding peace on this braided journey

Revolutions in swirl around a steadfast sun.
As two once lost beings come sweetly as one.

No Other Home

Winter's running late, spring hesitates to arrive

And yet all I see, are hues of a heart so vibrant and alive
I would catch the fastest sail to be by your side
If only moments like these could convey all that's raging inside

I will always find your face, whenever I look at mine
Praying that the reflection I see, would one day be yours, for all time

Journey on, footsteps beating along with my heart

And know that no matter where your roads take you...

It will always be your shores I drift to, even from the start

Find me in yesterdays and look for me in your tomorrows 

And I shall seek you out in fateful sunrises and retreating sorrows

And,

If I ever lose myself in this winding path of new
Those eyes of yours will lead me back to no other home, but you.

Write To Me

Write To Me

Write to me, of flowers and meadows
and sights that leave you breathless
and alive....

Paint me a sunrise of smiles -
of melodies that take my breath, away...

Move me with your moments of joys and sorrows,
of strength, that took you - through it all..

Walk me through your dreams of greatness,
and the dark hours, that leave you nothing, but, - more beautiful...

Lead me to those years of wonderment and delight...
with eyes that say much of - forever...
of my wishes - made true...

Write to me of your tender longings - in quiet desperation,
And give me a chance to take it all away...

Write to me with your soul, that speak the same words...
and a beautiful heart, that gently, holds - mine.

Retirement-Planning 101 for You (Women)

Hey, if you're enjoying your career, or just drudging along or are looking to switch, one thing is certain - someday, you would have to retire. Blessed are those who needn't feel like they're "working" a day in their lives because they may actually be able to continue doing what they're doing past the age of say 65. (That is if they're not corporate, employed by someone else and all the things that fall under "mandatory").

Retirement can be daunting but it also can represent the best years of your life.
