Paghuli Ng Bulalakaw (Catching Falling Stars)

*Paghuli ng Bulalakaw* Minsan ako'y nakahuli ng isang bulalakaw, at sa aking mga kamay inilagay Ako'y lubhang napaso, nasaktan ng lubusan kaya't aking itong pinakawalan... Isang gabi, natanaw ko ang isang tala na nagliyab sa himpapawirin Akin lamang tinignan, at aking pinagmithian Wari ko'y ngayon, tama ang aking ginawa.

It burned me so, it hurt me so that I just had to let it go Then one night, I saw a star that blazed across the sky... I looked at it, just wished upon it and I knew that this time, I did right. May 28, 2002 *********** Oddly enough I haven't really written any poems in my native tongue, tsk tsk shame on me!! (I've only written only ONE, wow) & it's taking me forever to translate it to English so, I decided to go about it the other way around and translate an old poem of mine instead, & here it is! My Filipino translation though is sort of rusty when it comes to the flow of the poem (but hmm I guess only those who know how to speak Tagalog would see that ^_~) it's fun though so I just might try to write more translations! Gert sure makes this look sooo easy!! ;)
