Sa Bawa’t Higop, 

May Hugot - 2

(Mga pira-pirasong pagninilay kadamay ang isang tasang kape)

 

·        Sa muling pagniniig

Ng araw sa kanluran

Talikdan ang nakaraan

Sanhi ng dusa’t luha

Sa dilim ng gabi

Isaboy ang hinagpis

At sa pagsapit ng umaga

Liwanag sa Silangan

Ligaya sa kanlungan

Ng bagong sinisinta

Yakap at hali

Damhin ang pag-ibig

Lasa, mahal kita

·        Ang nakaraa'y lumipas na.

Ang sa ngayo'y naghihintay ang bukas.

Kanlungan ng pag-asa

Ngiti't tuwa, ibayong ligaya.

 

·        mailap ang pagtulog

sa gabing maulan

bagama't malamig

ang hanging dulot

ay pag-alala sa nakaraang

namaalam at lumipas

may ngiti sa labi

sa bukas na naghihintay

sa panibagong buhay

at pag-ibig sa iyo

o lasa, ang kasagutan

sa dalanging inaasam

 

·        Hindi makatulog

Hindi naman nananaghoy

Ang pusong lumilimot

Sa nakaraang pag-irog

 

·        Kung hindi sana bumitaw

May pag-asang naghihintay

Sa kabilang ibayo ng bayan

Doon dapat isasakatuparan

Ang bukas na pinangarap

Ngunit dahil sa paglisan

Kasabay ng paglubog ng araw sa kanluran

Nilimot na ang mga pangarap

Yakap ang panaghoy ng dilim

At pamamaalam

Saan ang silangan?

 

·        "Noong ako'y nabubuhay pa,

iniwan mo ako ng walang pasabi

tapos umiiyak sa aking pagpanaw?

Sayang na mga luha."

 

·        Paalam. Lasa, ito ako, ngayon.

 

·        Yakap ko’ng katahimikan ng gabi

Kaluluwa ko’y nahihimlay sa labi ng dilim

Upang sa panaginip maging manhid sa sakit

Ramdam ng puso’t damdaming sadyang mapait

At sa kinabukasang paggising ng diwa

Sa bagong umaga’s sisilay ang pag-asa

 

·        Ang katahimikan ba’y pag-iwas sa katotohanan

Dulot ay takot, lumbay, at pagluha?

 

·        Di ko alam bakit nagbago ka. Sige lang. Lahat naman tayo may kalayaang pumili ng gusto natin at ayawan ang hindi.

 

·        Natuyuan na ako ng luha

          Kahit sa pag-iyak, ako’y napagod na.

Bagama’t ramdam ang sakit ay pilit pa ring umasa.

Nguni’t sadyang ayaw mo na –

Hindi mo ipinaglaban, dahil ‘di nararapat?

Tahimik kang lumayo; wala man lang paalam.

DELAYED “FLIGHT”: It’s All God’s Plan

  DELAYED “FLIGHT”: It’s All God’s Plan (January 3, 2024) Almost every Christmas season, DELAYED signs, and worst is Cancelled notice, have become a regular scenario in most, if not all, airports all over the world for both local and international flights. Just recently before Christmas, a good number of domestic flights were recorded in the Philippines that cause quite a lot of different reactions from passengers, mostly of anger and frustration. The stress that the passengers felt was simply indescribable. Imagine all the planning they make like – applying for leave from work; searching and booking for flights, bus rides, and/or sea travel; packing belongings to bring; buying “pasalubong” and gifts; and more things needed in their journey or vacation. In some cases, though, a feeling of resignation and frustrating acceptance were all some passengers expressed bearing the discomforts caused by the delays. Whether out of anger and frustration or resignation and acceptance, no

Silence is Golden

  Silence is Golden (November 22, 2023) In a world of advance technology and science, amidst the popularity of the use of various social media, and in every nook and cranny of the metropolis, silence is indeed golden. Noise pollution has become an accepted norm of daily living, and continuous movements of people and things around has become the core of progress. More and more cities have become like a “city that never sleeps.” To rest and be quiet even for just a few minutes has become a luxury in man’s daily living.   The world’s three major religions – Christianity, Judaism, and Islam – have emphasized the value of silence in their Holy Books – the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, as well as noted scholars and teachers of different faiths have written and/or spoken about it. “God’s will for me is to live an honorable life that should silence ignorant people. I am free to live however I choose. I choose to be a Servant of the Living God which means that most often silence is golden.

CALLED TO BE HEALERS TO ONE ANOTHER

  CALLED TO BE HEALERS TO ONE ANOTHER (January 26, 2024)   Reflection on the Gospel (Mark 1:29-39)   Question: Why did Peter deny knowing Jesus three times? Answer: Because Peter was so mad at Jesus for healing his other in-law.   Of course, that was only a joke. It was a joke revolving around the relationship between in-laws. Jesus healed the mother in-law of Peter from fever. The succeeding parts of the Gospel, Jesus continued with his ministry of healing – casting away demons, curing people from various illnesses and diseases, and many more. At the end of the day, Jesus came to a secluded place to pray and commune with His Father in heaven. Then immediately after dawn, Jesus begun his healing miracles and preaching.   We see, however, that at the end of the day, and even before the sun rises at dawn, Jesus come to a place to pray. Note that habit of Jesus – before and after a day’s activities, Jesus always find time to pray.   We may not be “healers” ourselve
