Time stood still

2 a.m. and sleep is a struggle,
Outside it starts to drizzle,
The supple bed's not been helpful,
Nor the soft music, not at all.

What occurred in the afternoon between 5 and 6 p.m.,
Seems like a fateful dream,
Mind keeps repeating,
The scene that's happening.

At the park in my usual afternoon rest,
You come and sit to me next,
We just sit there not saying anything,
Could have said something, but nothing.

We watch the sun sets together,
Delighting its beauty and wonder,
Catching some breath that’s hard,
Thinking had destiny dealt its card.

After seems like a decade passed,
You stand and leave fast,
Feeling awed, never bad,
Thinking, t’was the best conversation I ever had.

Fellow toastmasters, guests, those who have creative and silly beliefs during their childhood, good evening! I had a few silly notions that I was so sure of when I was a kid.  Have you also believed before that if you swallowed a butong-pakwan, it would grow inside your stomach, and soon enough you would become a tree?  How about believing that people on TV shows lived inside the television?  Yes? Aside from these, can you think of at least three more things you thought were true when you were little? Okay, let me tell you mine.  These three silly things are in the context of sexual orientation.  I especially picked these three out of the other things down memory lane because ...
