**************************************************************



sumagi na naman 
sa aking kaisipan
ang pangungulila--

sa natamong nakaraan,
sa matatamong kinabukasan,
sa tinatahak na kasalukuyan

pilit na pinipiga ang puso't isipan
sa 'di mawaring kadahilanan--
malamang dahil may gusto ang puso
na ibigkas
'yun nga lang--
dahil ako ay Ako,

hindi ko mawari't maisulat

isang malalim na buntong hininga
isang malalim na paglunok
ng saloobin--

pilit na binabaon,
ginagapos
--ayaw makawala
pigil na pinapalaya

dahil ako ay duwag... .

ito ako ngayon sa kasalukuyan
bukas kaya?
Ganito pa rin ako?

(just want to put this in-- unrelated to the above write, but still)



--outside the kitchen window, hanging on a wire---



a trill that pierces me,
for some reason

 I thought all have gone
yet,
 that dainty, yellow, bird,

sings again

Missy, you just put into words what people sometime feel but don't know how to express it.. Okay that is just my two cents.. How are you? Things have been crazy on my side, but I am trying to take things one day at a time. Miss you loads *hugs*

btw, if you are really interested in learning a new language, I heard Duolingo can be quite helpful...although I don't think there are too many selections for languages. It's free though... I have to try it out sometime.

Ok, the translation above is affirmation for me of how google translate can be very literal... but yes, I got the gist, so I guess, good enough for me...I suck I wasn't able to translate it correctly, gee.... may I add to what you said? and when in a melancholic mood, the singing bird can definitely help lift the spirits--- that's how it felt for me....thank you, Tim for passing by. Enjoy your week.
