Out There In The Brightness Of Light Poem by RIC BASTASA

Ang akong pagdawat nga ikaw
wala na
mao ang lamdag nga naghatag
og hulma sa mga butang makita.
Sulod sa hamugaway nga lawak
sa akong alimpatakan


in accepting that you are no longer
mine
you provided me with the shapes
and molds of
things that i
for the first time
did not see
inside the spacious room of my mind
i waited for the
morning light and when my
eyes were filled with
so much light
all the shadows
finally departed
for
they cannot withstand
the profuse light
that i now have

then from here
i will see you again
with this brightness
in that place
where we can never
be parted
