Celebrating the Enchanted Land: A Note to LN

I’ve been blessed
To explore the uncharted territory
With rainbow, lollies, fairies and butterflies
Not to forget the occasional appearance of beetle juice, goblins and some villains.

I’ve been flying high, so high
And there are times when it’s too high and scared the hell out of me
And I’ve stumbled, fallen several times
Covered with mud, shed some tears and got bruises as my souvenirs.

It’s no nirvana
It’s the mountainous landscape with slopes and sometimes abysses
But I’ve found grass-covered areas with breathtaking view
With gigantic old trees that offer shade and comfort
Inviting to spend some precious time
To captivate and absorb the whole experience
And enjoy the smell of the first rain.

Yet the land offer only so much
Not even the comfort from the caring old trees could stop me from venturing.
Magical creatures are everywhere
Scattered in places with atypical colors, shapes and smells
And they promised me flowers, cotton candies, freshly-baked cookies and animal-shaped balloons for my time and visit.

With so many to discover
More mysteries to delve into
I must say my grace.

There.

As for you,
You are the very reason am stepping into this Enchanted Land a Gregorian calendar ago
Together we created our own traveling map albeit mysteries of our tomorrow
And let me say this to you just because:
Thank you for asking me to join this expedition
(Well, I don’t think you asked
But I joined you anyway)
Thank you for always be there
And mind not my manic personality
Thank you for saying the loudest, most important word ever;
Your eyes and hugs tell all.

And at this very moment
Let us lit a candle
And wish for many more…
