..The Sadness That Has Come.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

..The Sadness That Has Come....

didto sa gawas
mora kag malumos sa
kangitngit

outside the house
you are like drowning
in the darkness

ang kalibotan lapad
dako
unya ikaw rang usa
gamiting nga walay
pulos

the world is wide and
big
then you are alone
tiny
and insignificant


madungog mo ang
pagbangutan sa imong
kasingkasing

you can hear the grief
of your heart

ang imong pulso
nagluksolukso nga
morag mga baki
sa pag-abot sa ting-ulan

your pulse is jumping
like the frogs when the
rain has arrived

apan lahi
dili kini sa kalipay
mahitungod kini sa
kasakit
nga wala pa nagpaila
sa iyang
tinood nga ngalan

happiness has nothing
to do with it
it is about the sadness
that comes and who has
not yet told you
what is its name
