Catherine Agunat Poems

Diyosa ng puso't isipan
Yamang di matutumbasan
Diwang nagbibigay buhay
Sa kaluluwang may tamlay
...

In my solitary night,
You came without expectation
and embraced me
with your glimmering light,
...

Kapag simoy ay sariwa
Maluwag na ang paghinga
Paglanghap ay maginhawa
Baga ko'y laging masigla
...

At the place where the roses never fade
Everywhere are countless topaz and jade
The water of the river is vivid
Its pebbles are so splendid
...

With my guitar
I can sing the song
of the spring breeze,
I can utter those words 
...

For the rest of my life
O Lord, I will worship you
Your breath is my life
In your words, I'll never get tired
...

I love you....

I said it to you with the wind
playing like a puppy in the sand,
...

Itinala mo man ako sa mga naghihingalo sa kahirapan
Siniraan mo man ako ng mga baluktot na kasinungalingan
Sa matinding kagipitan, ako'y isinadlak ng iyong kagagawan
Ngunit ang muli kong pagbangon, hindi mo mapipigilan
...

Ang diwata ng kalikasan
Nalulungkot sa tuyong kapaligiran
Kaya lumuhod at nanalangin sa Kataas-taasan
Nawa'y ibuhos mapagpalang ulan
...

If the science of life is 'biology'
Surely, it is when
I came to the world
through the natural way.
