Elmer Romulo Valdez Poems

I can now set my gaze beyond,
The hills and the Sierra Madre,
The enchanted, towering 'filig, '
The emerald rolling grasslands,
...

Little wheels, big wheels,
Roll to assert themselves,
Crush the blocking stones,
And stamp themselves into
...

The lizard at Guinobatan railtrack,
Moves rapidly along the cool steel,
To hide from human gaze and touch.

How could the followers remain;
Inside the toppled, sacred shrine,
The messengers in total pain.

As they constantly wrap,
The vast and steamy shore,
In a suffocating embrace?

As it unites with the old leaves;
So helpless at the rage of wind,
But it strongly holds on.

A flower in the Canadian snow,
Unfettered in its lively glow;
Extends its life-giving touch,
Nothing ever seems to match.

As the cobwebs are swept away;
Nothing will ever be attached,
To the reciprocating memory.
...

Today is another high point
in the life of the One Pilgrim!

Praising! The benevolence and

Is there something left for me,
To set my goal and aspire for?
When fond hopes in my heart,
Start to dry out and wither?
