Meditation Over Crepuscular Views

Meditation Over Crepuscular Views

Dr Abe V Rotor

.

Crepuscular -  the counterpart of dawn,

when the day bids goodbye,

and the night greets welcome;

sights in common though to the keen eye.

Limbs of  acacia tree, Ateneo de Manila University, Manila.

If I were a boy again, I'd sit on your lap,

but I've grown too heavy and too old.

Neither can you carry me with my load

Nor I to climb up and keep my hold.

Banaoang Pass, Santa, Ilocos Sur

A valley of cirrus cloud -

will it rain tonight?

It would rather rise up

 into wispy feathers 

then die;

and in the morning 

returns afresh 

with the sun 

and dewdrops.

 

Bangkok, Thailand 2006

A full moon hangs in the trees

propped by an empty branch,

 chilled by a passing breeze;  

waiting an owl sit by chance.

Amadeo, Cavite 2010

Catching fireflies by a stream

takes us to a beautiful zone;

 imagination reigns supreme

beyond the power of reason.

 
Bangkok, Thailand 2006

A harp bridge, each string a note
 the passing wind plays,
soft and loud, and seldom mute,
solemnly at night prays.  

Sugar mill at .Calatagan, Batangas

A haunting glow rises into the sky,

spewing gas with all its might;

nearby a mother and her baby cry,

at the other side of midnight. ~
