My dream
The wrath of God
Pierced me relentlessly
So deliberate, it had a rhythmn
That resonated my shrieks
And cries of anguish
It carved and etched guilt
Into my husband’s face
I wrestled with Providence,on my back
Fighting a losing battle
With every tear and rip
I damned myself
With every constricting grip
I gained us
I redeemed you, as you glided out,
With ease of limb
And nobility of cry
You proclaimed our victory
To the world
You swamped me
With all of you
Only you
As you clenched my heart
With those fingers that melt mine to

SOS: Stories of Silence
SOS The three letters that represent the call for help, the pleading of inner voices for someone to come to their rescue.
SOS It is a signal that expresses need, that depends upon sound, that awakens one's sense of urgency. It is someone, in great despair, calling for help, expanding his cry to the world beyond, and hoping, against all odds, that someone will answer that cry.
SOS And yet, sometimes this cry is quiet. It does not howl with the fury of a cyclone, nor does it roar with the wrath of an earthquake. Sometimes, these cries are the most painful ones of all, because no one can hear them. When no one can hear you call, no one can come to your rescue.
SOS Stories of Silence.
Creative Arts Programme 2008: Healing Silence brought together nearly 150 specially-selected students from all across Singapore, to present their takes on this delicate topic of stillness, silence, and how it can contribute to the healing of Man, his nature, his character, and changing lives forever.
5 days of intensive plenary lectures, writing and performance workshops, forums and minor seminars have resulted in everyone attaining something they have not had before: A sense of understanding.
Understanding between you, and the other like-minded people who have as much, if not more talent, than you. Understanding of the bigger pictures, the bigger world out there, with all its pain. Understanding how you, as the writer, can wield weapons so much more powerful than brute strength, and can use those weapons to make things right.
Think of this blog as more of a forum, one of our own (without Daren Shau...) which we can use to express our opinions, our views, and most importantly, our writing. Comment on others' works, respect them all, and post some of your own up here. Share what we have learned, share what we know and feel, and we WILL learn, and we WILL feel.
Welcome to SOS.
