MAN OF EARTH
If the wind passes by,
Pliant is the bamboo; Must I stoop and try
I am a man of earth; To measure fully
They say that from the bamboo My flexibility?
We had our first birth.
I might have been the bamboo,
Am I of the body, But I will be a man.
Or of the green leaf? Bend me then, O Lord,
Do I have to whisper Bend me if you can.
My every sin and grief?

A Textula
By Frank Rivera

Merong himala, hindi totoong wala

Ituro ma’y mali, alam nati’y tama
Kahit walang sagot itong panalangin
Hindi tumitigil ang ating paghiling.

Walang nagturo na tayo’y makibaka

Ngunit sulirani’y ating binabata
Kahit may pangakong lagging napapako
Sa anumang init, handa ring mapaso.

Sa ating puso’y may awit ng pag-asa

Kahit titik nito’y hindi makabisa
Ang katotohana’y lalaging totoo
Basta maniwalang mayroong milagro.

Gabu
by Carlos A. Angeles

The battering restlessness of the sea

Insists a tidal fury upon the beach
at Gabu, and its pure consistency
Havocs the wasteland hard within its reach.
Brutal the daylong bashing of its heart
Against the seascape where, for miles around,
Farther than sight itself, the rock-stones part.
And drop into the elemental wound.
The waste of centuries is grey and dead
And neutral where the sea has breached its brine,
Where the split salt of its heart lies spread
Among the dark habiliments of Time.
The vital splendor misses.
For here, here at Gabu where the ageless tide recurs
All things forfeited are most loved and dear.
It is the sea pursues a habit of shores.
