The Window Gazer Poem by RIC BASTASA

(window gazing)
pamintana



lingkod.(sit)
lantaw sa unahan.(look farther)
atua ang lapad nga dagat.(the wide sea is there)
ang iyang mata mao ang adlaw.(its eye is the sun)
paminaw.(listen)
awit sa hangin. lantawa. lutaw nga panganod.(the song of the wind. gaze. the clouds drift)
hilom ang tanan.(everything is silent)
diha, diha, nakigsulti nimo ang tingog(there, there, the voice is speaking to you)
gikan sa imong kasingkasing.(from your heart)

gikan na ko diha.(i have been there)
ug gusto pa nako kining balikbalikan.(and i like going back again and again)
