Once Upon a Cloud

(Thought Random)


         Through my window this cloud        
          the blue sky its backdrop makes.

         And in this morning fair assumes
         a giant bear, then a mountain -
         Now it shifts into an open book, into
         a wine glass, into a - what's this?

         This face outline it now assumes, I just
         had in my mind!  Just like a cloud, will
         it shift into another- perhaps a candle
         lighted in a dreary  darkness?

         But no, it stays!  Amazingly, smilingly,
         this countenance now in majestic stance
         moves on as if to seek its throne -
         this kingly figure of a cloud face!

        He takes on a life, makes a headway, 
        and claims it all out -  what? my heart?

Panaas -by Peter Julian

(Thought Random)

***
Enter that dream world and the mystery of the little girl with sad eyes, a jug of water on her dainty head. Earlier, she, on her knees, had dug the river sands with her little fingers and watched as the water rose, took the cup and bailed out the water. She threw the water on her side, repeating the act until the liquid was clear, sparkling and she could see the bottom of the pit. She scooped the water with a cup made of coconut shell and put it in the clay jar; she did this a number of times until the container was full.

              PANAAS 
                                                  
              Umarubayan ti lagip
             iti kasaor ti malem-sardam
             idiay Laoag, ditoy Menifee
             iti batog ti kidem a langit:
             karkarsanna idi ti pagsakduanna
             iti kadaratan, ket iti di mabayag
             ballasiwenna manen ti karayan,
             ti imnas a nagsusuon iti malabi
             ti nasam-it a danum
             ni ayat-- daytoy ti kaudian 
             nga  am-amangaw, alimbasag
             ken tarimbangon dagiti palimed
             ken naliday a dandaniw a mariing  
             iti ulila a parbangon

Iti Kirbay ni Anges

(Thought Random)










di mailemmeng nga laglagip

dadaanan nga maidaniw


tay maysa nga ubing nga babai


nga nagsusuon ti malabi

Pain

(Thought Random)

Why do strands of memory
Like wisps of wind on thin edges 

Of my mind now come caress  
A soulful, sad lament of time -

Why could lovely moments fair 
Sweet, intense and warm not be
When half a lifetime ushers in           
Now silken, gossamer reality?
