Sa Gitna ng Delubyo

After the "Ondoy" like monsoon that hit the Philippines last August 7, 2012, (particularly in Luzon) I just though of creating something that at some point relate to the story.

~Sa Gitna ng Delubyo~

Sa malawak na lugar kami’y nagsiksikan

Matapos maisalba mula sa aming kinasadlakan

Sa ilalim ng langit, sa gitna ng kadiliman

Naging likas sa amin ang magtulungan

Kanya-kanyang hakot, akyat-panaog

Sa takot ng isa’t-isa’y daig pa ang pagsabog

Mga memoryang tumatak na sa aming mga sentido

Buhay na kinuha ng hagupit ng delubyo

Sa pagkakaisa’y nagkulang

Sa tubig nawala aming mga magulang

Nilibot ang nayon, maging mga ospital

Upang maibsan sakit sa damdaming nautal

Ang kalangitang madilim ang natatanging saksi

Ng aming simpleng kagitingan na layon ng gabi

Ang hangin na malamig ang siyang sa ami’y kumupkop

Habang lahat kami’y isa-isang na-tumpok

Sa gitna ng kalamidad, lahat kami’y naglaho

Nilikas ang tirahan, naiwan ng mga kabaro

Isang buong grupong umantabay sa balita

Nang aming marinig, mga pangalan nami’y nawika

~End~

Blocks

Block...

Around the street, a few corners from here.

The block...

That keeps my head thinking and still got nothing to steer.

The block...

That serves as the stepping stone for those who has bigger plans.

The block...

Which created the home for the homeless and alone.

The block...

With different colors serves as an inspiration.

The block

That keeps this writing an obsession..

Sometimes, its just so hard to think of something to write about.

But it's the same driving force that keeps me writing...

All of us has something that we want to share.
But for some reason, we were unable to do it right away and then what?
The next thing you knew, you forgot about it already.

And no matter how hard you try to retrieve the thought you once have, it doesn't stay as it is.

In my case, it gets worse every day as I try to regroup the thought.

To the writers out there,

keep writing. You do have subscribers.. Believe me..
