To feel

Today I learn again to feel
Life and its sorrows as they reveal

Long have I been bless by the grace of life
In none to feel to see
On the road towards recovery

So yesterday to God I pleaded

Let me feel
Let me see
Desirable or not
Life and its mystery

So I was gracefully granted
again
Sentiments of life
七情六慾
or
perhaps
In English
the seven sins

Last night in bed I felt the fire
In Heart
The flame
That burns from inside
The anger
The agony
The rage
All these times concealed

On the road towards redemption
Such needed

Yet
Let me heal
For
Only when you feel the pain
Could you help it heal

Today I wake up back to life
The sorrow
The regret
The grief
The time lost through which other gain

I could weep
I could feel my eyes watering

On the bench I sat
Towards the church I faced
In my heart I pleaded
So I said

Thanks for watching me along the way
Just
At some point
I have to
my own worse enemy to face

Lift that shield you me to protect
Let me learn me myself to face

One step at a time
So I have been spared

At the tree I faced
A Tree alive
only bare branches it has

All graceful support
you
me granted

So reply the tree...

When all stripped off
When all is bare
all could emerge
and be dissipated

Let your worries sorrows angers despair take their own place
Help them to find their niche
Thus
Through the bare branches
Gently easily all dissipate

Then the passers-by
"crazy Chinese"

Then to myself I though
"Did it hurt?"
Did it?

So shall I be in tear
yet in tear not
dust in my eyes
Thank you
Life
Each every step
One at a time

Today
I feel

Ordinary World
Duran Duran



Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world
