"Light in the Darkness"
By Elizabeth Esguerra Castillo
Poem OST: "Liwanag sa Dilim" by Yeng Constantino (original by Rivermaya)
Illuminated in pure, white glory,
Her soul enveloped in a pinkish glow
Beloved Moon witnessed how the world basked in darkness
And so, she sent her Prophet of Love and Compassion.
Oh, flickering light of the raging storm,
Turmoils and sufferings permeate thy Land
Heed the pleas and cries of humanity,
Hail the Light in the darkness.
Do not let vile creatures reign again,
Our Kingdom deserves to be led by the Chosen One,
Oh, Light in the darkness protect us from vultures
Cast away the evil desires of greedy men
Who desire to be an heir to a Sacred Throne.
Never again will let fear and blood shed
Stain our pure intentions to lead a great nation,
Rally for the good of many, not just those who hunger for power and fame.
Light in the darkness, glow with your pink halo
The world craves for authentic compassion
Lead Thy people to The Promised Land
Cross the Red Sea full of hope for tomorrow
The heavens will rejoice seeing your Sacred Pink Glow!

"Beautifully Fragile"
You are a child of the Universe dancing freely amidst a world in chaos
Cascading thoughts bewilder your mind but you still stand sober and courageous
You are an illuminating star in the galaxy, an immortal in this infinite cosmos
Beautifully fragile with an indomitable spirit, a kindred soul searching for Higher Consciousness.
The heavens wrap you around in His loving arms
As He reminds you how a precious creation you are
Beautifully fragile, a child with energetic wonder
A pink orb envelopes your earthly soul
Waiting for the Perfect Time when you finally discover who you truly are…
The sanctity of your existence bewilders those who cannot comprehend
What your mere presence in the world means to mankind
Beautifully fragile, pure sanctity, how precious your life is
Changing the course of destiny with your inspiring ways and regality!

"The Alchemy of Life"
Pilgrims in this journey called Life
Coming from One Source,
One Universe with swirling different worlds
Dancing, in a mass of Infinite Web
One fine day our souls will collide,
When our Higher Selves meet at the epicenter
We all long to follow the Light
The illustrious beauty that never fades,
Of the invisible thread that binds every little thing.
Each one of us is more than just an atom
Which suddenly appeared out of this cosmic journey,
Across the horizon, I see Angels preparing for a banquet
Waiting for our return to our One True Home
Do you want to chase the Light at the end of the tunnel?
Or you would want to go back to the life you once borrowed?
Spirits transcending into another realm,
No pain, no suffering but only eternal happiness remains
I see you smiling in the afterglow,
And it finally dawned on me, I am truly Home.
