Submission by Hans Van Rostenberghe

[Hans Van Rostenberghe]

Dear Dr.Fab and Friends,

With this mail I submit my poem titled, moments within.

It is not published anywhere.

Moments within

Soft sounds of breaking waves

build bridges over an ocean of thoughts

for my soul to cross and reach out

to the abundant universe.

Clouds of wisdom float in the air

And rain out to quench my thirst

Manna of love falls from above

To still my hunger.

And the whispers of the waves

Keep caressing my soul,

A spark growing slowly to a flame

giving a bit of light and warmth

to me and to all in need of love.

My Bio: 

First name: Hans

Family name: Van Rostenberghe

Date and place of birth: 18 October 1964, Oudenaarde , Belgium.

Currently living in Bachok (town), Kelantan (state), Malaysia.

I am a medical doctor, neonatologist and professor at Universiti Sains Malaysia, where I work since 1994.

Big sources of inspiration in my life have included Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Dr. Martin Luther King and the Médécins sans Frontieres.

Poetry became a passion when I was bedridden for three months due to a fractured vertebra in 2010. I write under the author name Aufie Zophy and put most of my poems on the website PoemHunter. I am a reader of philosophy, a nature lover and consider myself to be a family man. I believe strongly that the world is heading towards harmony through an ever increasing kindness revolution which is close to its sharp inflection point on its exponential curve. I express my ideas in short essays and poems in my blog, called: Soul sprinkles.

My favorite quote:
"I slept and dreamed that life was joy
I awoke and saw that life was service
I acted and behold, service was joy"
(Rabindranath Tagore)

Soul sprinkles Soul sprinkles, a bit of salt and pepper from and for a hungry soul. Aspiring to be a bit inspiring, reflections...
