Typhoons Ondoy and Peping

I don't know how to start and write this article about the devastating typhoons that have hit the Philippines but I will try to make it an inspirational one.

I am here in Qatar far away from home but as if I heard the moaning of the drowning victims young and old. Miles away but I smelled the agony of loosing love ones. My heart is in pain while watching the horrible videos spread all over the internet. I can’t even imagine the thought of losing a child; it makes me chill and it falters my heartbeat.

Help will be served like clothing and food, yeah it will definitely give comfort to those hungry and for those who lost their belongings but who and what will be given to those that are grieving and in pain? How will you explain to a child that his parents are not coming back to take care of him? Give him toys? And how would you console a mother who lost her children? Give her Teddy Bear?

Sometimes even the most faithful person will question his/her fate, which is natural and understandable. So I think the greatest assistance that can be given to them is to provide inspirations and hope, make them understand that it was nobody’s fault. Spiritual healing is never been easy but with constant care and support it is possible.

A prayer I made for them, it’s not much but in my own little way I am extending my sympathy and condolences.

Springs of Hope
SPK

Amidst the chaos,
Bond of brotherhood
Seeds of compassion

Smell of deaths,
Prayers of resurrection
Springs of hope

Agony of loosing,
Warriors stand tall
Hardships bear resiliency

Suffocating darkness-
Hearts light the way
Towards a renewed 
Spirit…

Mga Bagong Bayani (OFW) Ipagbunyi inyong Kadakilaan

Sa bawat daan na iyong tinahak Sa mga luha sa mata mo pumatak Sa katawan mong pagod at batak Sa pamilya mong muntik mawasak Sa bawat mga araw na lumilipas Sa yugto ng buhay mong nalalagas Sa damdamin mong nagagasgas Sa mga nagdaraang mga oras Saan ka kaya patutungo? Sino kaya ang sa luha magpapatuyo? May hahagod kaya sa katawang hapo? Manitili kayang pamilya mo ay buo? Araw na lumipas maibabalik ba? Makikita ba mga sandaling nawala? Kaya pa ba sa bigat ng iyong dala? Oras na nagdaan mapapalitan ba? Mga Bagong Bayani....Ipagbunyi inyong kadakilaan..

Tanging Tanglaw (Tula para sa mga OFW)

Sa maghapong walang humpay na pag-gawa Katawang hapo at kulang sa kalinga Hanap lang sa tuwina ay pahinga Ngunit naisin man ay di magawa Damit na nilabhan ay nasa kama Madalas sa malayo nakatingin Nagtatanong kung ano ang mithiin Kalaguyo at kapiling ay dilim Taghoy ng ulilang damdamin Idinadaan sa buntung-hiningang malalim Sa bawat pagpikit ng mga mata Ala-ala ng mga iniwanang sinta Na nakatunghay sa iyong gunita Ang masidhing pangungulila Kayakap mo hanggang umaga Sa muling pagbangon, bakas ng luha Na sa magdamag ay dumaloy sa mga mata Pilit mong itatago para di makita Dahil ika'y malakas sa tingin ng iba Baon mo ay huwad na ngiti at tuwa Sa agos ng buhay sa ibang bayan Wala kang ibang pagpipilian Mahirap man kailangan mong sabayan Dahil sa balikat mo iyong pasan Pangarap sa mga anak sa kinabukasan Ikaw, ako, sila, tayo na nangangarap Na sa ibayong dagat ay naghahanap Asenso na sa sariling bayan ay mailap Sa likod ng makapal na ulap Tanging tang...
