Sa ngayon
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008
Talamak na ang kanser
na dumuduro sa pagkatao
Nanunuot sa kalamnan
ang pagkagumon sa bisyo
Dating anghel na sinunod
ngayon ay kadiliman ang dala
Mga biyayang inaasam-asam
ibinaon na’t nailibing sa alaala
Kinabukasan ay di maaninag
Masalimuot. Makupad. Marupok.
Hangin na hatid sana’y ginhawa
pumalit ay di masikmurang usok
Nagagalit na ang kalikasan
dahil sa tinamong mga sugat
Ang nais sana ay makalaya
ngunit gapos, sa tibay ay sukat.
Yldara/M. quintos-stanphill
Author’s Comments:
***This poem was penned/written over 24 years ago as an observation of people, events and nature at the time. It was meant to be an eye opener of sorts and a challenge. It was actually the first Tagalog poem I have written—I thought I should post it since it seems appropriate even in today’s “struggles”.
