Sound of Rainfall - A Poem of Dawn

-

The sound of rainfall in the silence of dawn has never been this tranquil in my ears.

It brings me comfort and allows myself to focus on the present, of my surroundings, without the stifling need to be alert. 

The sound of falling raindrops on the roof gives me a sense of relief, a relief that I am where I had been longing to be in the past. 

It makes me feel grateful and to always be thankful. 

The sound of the rainfall in the stillness of dawn gives me ease that when the sun shines, I shall be more pleased. 


I wrote this poem earlier when I woke up hearing the rain at 4AM. I was inspired by the stillness of the dawn and the rainfall that I was moved to write something.

I'll be home this Christmas: My New Home

Christmas is literally just around the corner, everyone is panic buying gifts-  Oh yes, panic is the term as the malls nowadays are crazily packed.  Companies are holding holiday and year-end parties everywhere and photos of friends and /or family reunions posted all over social media.  And here I am, all alone in my humble abode. Pondering what I'll do for the holidays next week as I have decided since Christmas last year that I will not spend my holidays back in Iloilo.  It's a bittersweet feeling to be honest.  I am missing my fellow Alto ladies in the choir for Simbang Gabi*, the nine-day series of pre-dawn masses in the Philippines, is a cherished tradition I deeply miss back in my hometown.  Waking up early in the morning [around 2AM] for the 4:30 AM Mass for 9 days, afterwards, enjoy our sumptuous breakfast provided by some charitable folks in our town, and spend time to catch-up with fellow choir members in the plaza until the sun fully rises....

Exactly 5 Days before we enter another year, 2025! ~ Time flies by so fast, indeed! Personally, 2024 has been quite a long year and it didn't start well for me, literally.  A rocky start to 2024 I kicked off 2024 battling a bad cold, and I suspect that must have been COVID. And pretty much every month, I get sick for a week or two. Not to mention, I have admitted myself to the hospital's Emergency Room (ER) several times this year already.  Not only that, but 2024 is also the year when all age-related health issues started to manifest as expected for someone in their early 30s.  It's not giving, bruh. No cap. This year has also been a year of cutting off ties with people who are energy vampires, be it friends or family. The second I sense insincerity, negativity, and unnecessary drama, I close my doors immediately. I have no energy for that,  for real .  Apart from that, generally, this year has been a year of self-recovery.  A journey of Self-Recovery I fi...

Are you ready for it? - Reawakening my traveler self

Yearning for a part of me- travelling One of the many things that I have always wanted to do again was to have international solo-travel at least once in a year.  My last international travel was way back in 2018, to Taiwan. The following year, I wasn't able to do so as I left work and returned to my hometown. It was a difficult period. Not only that, I lost my old passport and had to go through inconveniences to get a new one.  Last but not the least, 2020 onwards- the pandemic, we all know what happened, everything in the world stopped; that includes travelling for leisure. Years of not travelling left a void within me. It was something that I always looked forward to yearly- my motivation to grind at work. It was my happiness, as I had always known that I am meant to explore the world. I missed immersing myself into the crowd of locals and understand their daily lives; savor new flavors enhancing my palate and idea of good food.  I yearned learning a place's history an...
