Living simply is the key to happiness

Finding myself always with a ready smile

Unbridled happiness exuding from within

I am thankful for the little things in life

Smelling the roses along my path 

Always eager to sing praises for a job well done 

I feel wonderful and joyous!

Take Flight with Balloons

Take Flight with Balloons 

By Aileen Chua

-------------------------

Big beautiful balloons

Popping up and down

Swaying in the wind

So carefree and playful

Ageless since time immemorial 

They are our dreams

To fly up high in the sky

Drifting clouds and colourful rainbow

Such joy and peace

It's a beautiful day.

Nature's Beauty

Ah wonders of nature

Absolutely awesome

These big beauties standing in front of us today

The results of withstanding years of ravages

What then are ours compared to theirs?

We too can be stunning and stupendous

Circles on the table

It has been a while since I last penned a poem. Poem encompasses the true essence of the English language. It calls for wits, a good ear for music, an appreciation of beauty and an arsenal of words. What that keeps me writing is that it is FUN.

Enjoy and do pen a poem too.

Circles on the Table

The vacant chair cuts a forlorn figure.

Staring at the purple flower sitting in the centre of the table.

The lovely patterns are swimming in circles.

Twirling in endless rounds.

Exotic and enchanting with patterns big and small.

Exuding the beauty of the regale royal of the flower. 

Her name is life.

And the vacant chair is waiting.

For the rightful owner to take stock of life.

Glorious Green

Loving green

Picturesque nature

Calms the harried mind

Breathing green

Listening green

Soul of nature

Heals the tired mind

Giving renewal to body and soul

Panda in a cave

Panda in a Cave, Aileen Chua

Panda in a cave
Thinking of the bamboo forest
Finding solace in being alone
Panda in the cave
Cutting a forlorn figure
For reticence is its way of life

Setting Sun

Setting Sun, by Aileen
She turns into an orange ball
As she slowly descends
To the horizon of sky and sea
Before the deep slumber
In the depth of the ocean
She gives her best
Engulfing the sky with an orange hue
Embracing us in warmth
As she has always done.
Such dedication
Such pride
We should all emulate!
