With the cloak of humility



WITH THE CLOAK OF HUMILITY

 Not blowing trumpets of titles
 Not raising the flag of medals
 Not drumming the rolling achievements
 Not using the mouth of conceitedness

 Stepping down to reach the ordinary
 Sharing wisdom into the ground streaming level
 Plunge with servility to save the drowned
 Searching the truth of true compassion

 Clean their deeds by exemplifying our within
 Respect them with high notes of value
 Paint them with good imagery of dignity
 Attune them with the music of harmony and friendships

 Swim with their burdens with camaraderie
 Remove clothes of vanity and share the openness of hearts
 Soak with the reality and touch the lives under our skin
 With our bare hands, let us eat our pride to join with others
        with the cloak of HUMILITY

Herbert Guitang

I started making poems when I was in high school. Creativity and Imagination develop every poem I do. The level of our maturity in poetry brings us self happiness and soar us in all kinds of being and life. I studied Music Composition in University of the Philippines. Through this, it spreads more deepness and bliss to my art and poetry. I believe, INSPIRATION comes to all things within and outside us. INSPIRATION that unifies and serve as LIFE to our being.
