Envious Sky
.
overcast sky broods, darkens, threatens
crystal creek tumbles, splashes, sparkles
"nagalugitom sa dag-om ang kalangitan
nagalukso-ambak, nagkidlapkidlap ang sapa"
might be the sky envies the creek's mirth,
the frolic of butterflies and damselflies
"basig nasina ang langit sa kalipay ug hudyaka
sa mga alibangbang ug tapuri nga nagdula-dula,"
that fly and flit and tease the gleaming ripples
near glades of green and flowers in bloom
"nagsaoy-saoy, nagsakdapsakdap sa tin-awng tubig
lunhawng kasagbutan ug mabulokong kabulakan?"
frolic and fun.."paghudyaka? pagmaya?"
spite and envy.."pagkamaigihon? pagkamasinahon?"
