Eden Resort, Talomo, Davao

there is beauty
in the trees that tower
to let you feel
how it touches the sky

there is coolness in green
waters
where you begin to catch
fish and feel
the slime on its scales

there is something about
serenity
something about your
solitude

there is something about
your silence with the grasses
the blue clouds above you

they all give the message of
the song of mother earth
that life is beautiful
that living each moment
with your beloved is as amazing
as the miracle of the
moving hours

slowly you become as small as
a mole
in the vast wonders of this
earth

your hands become to tiny
to clasp
the hugeness of happiness

you break like a glass bowl
unable to contain
what God has to offer

shattered you look at yourself
with all understanding
nothing is repaired
upon a brokenness

but the amazement at beauty
continues
and it has overcome you
into a wholeness
that until now you still
cannot say

tongue tied you shall soar
and fly away.....,
