Remembrance

Maepail 1999 (Marikina)



I still remember the sea
at the same time the sparkle of your every glance
I still remember the water
as if the message of your every move was clear

I also remember the wind
as tender as your voices compare to mine
I remember the warmth of the sunshine you who once loved me

I remember the birds in the sky
Image of our every tenderness
I remember the sands
my repeated reading of your poems dedicated to me

I remember the rustling of the trees
Along with your laughs and parody of me
I remember the fish
That it seemed like we were two together

Night is approaching on the beach
Gradually the fish left
No more sounds of trees to be heard
The sands can no longer be seen
The birds that used to fly in the sky have returned home

The surroundings are getting colder because the sun's rays have faded
The wind has stopped blowing
The water has gone down and it seems to me that no one wants to come any closer
Gradually the memory of the sea faded to me

Maybe there’s another ship sailing at sea that I used to love
It has learned to calm down and calm its own wave of emotion
The sea is far away
Up to here first my sail.

The old sea is growing
I can no longer see him in my old harbor
Everything has changed
Like a storm of dishonesty

With the rise of the sea
I will bring another ship and stabilize
To God I will sail
So that when we meet again everything will be fine
