another circa 2000 poem

Nagapanghayhay lang siguro ako ka dya nga same old, same old lang angud ang tanan... waay kaw run gid man inughambal kun ang tanan nahambal na...

Naga minal-am dun guro ako kang dya nga panahon.

Seems to Me

19 June 2000

Seems to me

all songs

have been sung

all sighs

have been sighed

all cries

have been cried.

Seems to me

all dawns

have been saluted

all sunsets

have been captured

all moments

immortalized.

And that the road

less traveled by

is not so less traveled

anymore

nor roads not taken.

Yet singers

never tired of the music

and poets

never grew up

and volunteers

never sleep

or so it seems.
