PAGLAKBAY

PAGLAKBAY

A Poem by Pinoy Ako

 

Sa lawak nang aking nilangoy,

Sa kapaguran parang ako ay nalunod

Siguro nga minadali ko ang lahat

Na parang walang pakialam sa hagupit ng karagatan.

 

Mga paa at mga kamay

Sana ay nabigyan ko ng konting panahon

Para malugod kong naintindihan

Bawat hampas, bawat suntok ng alon

 

Nawala man ang liwanag ng bituin

Ang nag iisang makinang

Sa gitna ng madilim na dagat

Di naging dahilan para ako’y tumigil

 

Di man lahat nakamtan

Di man lahat narating

Walang kasing pagod man ang paglangoy

Di dahilan para sumuko sa dagok nang panahon.

 


sa panulat ni Pax

The turtle life span is close to or about 100 years. But there birth place and early stages of life are in the land which is most dangerous place for them . There first day of life is really of survival instinct and they scramble and dash to the safety of the ocean. Only few make it to adulthood. But they never hesitate nor contemplate their first instinctive action.

I think that's what we also think and sacrifice when we leave the comfort, security, safety of our place, family and friends and food when we work and travel abroad to earn more and help better our lives and the lives of our family. The young turtle instinctively knows that to stay on the shore is suicide and certain death or it can take its chances in the ocean. I think this is the message I'm getting from this piece. It takes more than sacrifice to leave behind the comfort and safety of familiarity and going to a foreign land.

Pax I really like your rendition here. Nasabi mo ang iyung struggle sa buhay na naihalintulad sa paglangoy. Naglagay ako ng picture dito sa iyung tula na sana ay tamang repleksyon ng iyung damdamin at idea.

Here Pax I would like to share my long time mantra and inspirational quote. In English and Tagalog.
" Kung may paninindigan mayroon ding paraan. Milyang layo ang lalakarin ay makakarating din kapag inumpisahan ng paghakbang "

" If There's A Will There's A Way. A Mile Walk But It Always Start With A Step "
Hope you like the background song by Asin ... ( Neil Aranda )

*Nang should be "ng". Ginagamit lang ang "nang" bilang bahagi ng pang-abay na pamaraan, ex. TUMAKBO NANG MARAHAN, UMUBO NANG MALAKAS...but now there's a new rule that "ng' can be used in place of "nang"..but never use "nang" in place of ng (as a preposition 'of').

"Sa lawak NG aking nilangoy,"
"Di dahilan para sumuko sa dagok NG panahon."

Doon ko sana to papansinin sa page ni Pax pero wala naman yata syang post nito and he closed his account na.

Ang mga linya ni Pax ay hindi rin naiiba sa palagi nyang sinasabi pag napapag-usapan namin ang buhay nya sa abroad. Matibay pa rin sya. Humahanga ako sa mga kababayan na kayang magtiis doon sa malayong bansa. Minsan kong sinabi na mag-a-abroad ako...sabihan ba naman akong huwag daw at malungkot daw doon, baka di ko kayanin. E-understimate ba ako? Hehe.

Maraming salamat sa paglathala nito. Ayos ka, Pax. Mabuhay ka, Pinoy!

parang hindi kumpleto ang huling talata (stanza, di ko sigurado ang tamang salita).
"Di man lahat nakamtan
Di man lahat narating
Walang kasing pagod man ang paglangoy
AKO PA RIN AY MAGPAPATULOY...
