Tuesday Poetry.

Kagabi, habang brinabrowse ko ulit ang luma kong PC sa bahay (na isang taon ko na yatang hindi ginamit), nakita ko ulit ang mga pictures ng mga kaibigan ko nung high school at college, nakakamiss.. at nakakatuwa dahil nagkaron ulit ako ng chance para makapagreminisce.. nagpapatugtog ako ng mp3, at naghanap ulit ng makakalikot pa dun sa mga luma kong files. At may certain document ang bigla kong nabuksan at binasa, ako ay napahinto at nag-isip ulit ng mga nangyari sa mga nakaraan. Ang laman ng document ay isang essay na ginawa ko nung September 2002.. ewan ko ba, nasa mood yata ako nung ginawa ko 'to, at gusto ko lng i-share sa inyong lahat.

SOUND OF SILENCE

As i pass quietly through the shadows of the trees I enter the vast church. Upon entering, a sense of peace overwhelms me. silence welcomes me, silence covers the entire church... what can this silence be? Trying to get the answer, I ponder upon the question. The silence of the surrounding with a gust of cool breeze touching my cheek reminds me of a certain point in my life, a time when i was with my love, it was a time when my heart could not and would not care for anything else but her, every moment that was spent with her was equal to that pure of gold, though life had dealt me with a poor set of cards, she was always there to pull me through and hold my hand whenever I am about to give up.

I looked around the place, though the church was beautiful in itself, what amazed me was the view from where I was now sitting in front of the church and looking towards the sky, it was magnificent, it was similar to the horizons that I saw when I was sitting with her. All the memories came flooding through my mind again, that I had so long imprisoned at a secret place in my heart. All the hurt was reminded to me again. The time when we parted ways through my heart like a hot knife---all the pain reminded, all the confusion, the joys, the tears, all triggered by the mere sound of silence...
