Recuerdo


Broken Face
Originally uploaded by Wiro's Site
Sa gabi, nahuhulog ang mga alaala
na gaya ng mga piraso
ng nabasag na salamin
nagkalat sa sahig,
pinupulot isa-isa,
pilit ipinagsasama’t binubuo:
mga pira-pirasong luha
na inipon at kinuyom
habang sabay nitong sinasalo
ang maruming liwanag
ng makalimuting gabi.

At sa pagtatagpo ng mga bubog,
dahan-dahan ding nabubuo
ang nagmamasid sa atin
mula sa loob ng baság na salamin:
tayo rin, pira-piraso’t baság.

Nakabubuti rin naman
ang mahiwa
ng matalim na bubog ng alaala:
ang hilaw at nagdurugong laman
ay mabuting paalala
na tayo nga pala’y buhay pa.

    EXPECT NOTHING
    Alice Walker
    Expect nothing. Live frugally
    On surprise.
    become a stranger
    To need of pity
    Or, if compassion be freely
    Given out
    Take only enough
    Stop short of urge to plead
    Then purge away the need.
    Wish for nothing larger
    Than your own small heart
    Or greater than a star;
    Tame wild disappointment
    With caress unmoved and cold
    Make of it a parka
    For your soul.
    Discover the reason why
    So tiny human midget
    Exists at all
    So scared unwise
    But expect nothing. Live frugally
    On surprise.
    WE ARE THE WORLD
    Harvard Law School LL.M. '12
