to scare or just for fun;
the goddess Maria Makiling,
and Helios, the sun.
I imagine the world without them -
without them around:
Children wouldn't be home before dark;
and dogs at night wouldn't bark?
Why sunflowers always face the sun,
and go to sleep when gone;
trespassers, beware, take the road instead,
unless you hold the labyrinth's thread;
over the hills and valleys thunder rolls
when angry Thor growls,
and mushrooms spontaneously appear
breaking the ground like spear;
phosphorescence fascinates us,
even after the fire has turned to ash;
look up, they’re but one - fireflies and stars,
fireflies are the missing stars;
holiest the altar of nature unspoiled,
where logging was foiled,
where the kapre lives in big trees,
and scares with a sudden breeze;
paddies sigh, bamboos creak and whisper,
unseen - creatures or not – slither.
The world is alive with tales and legends;
untrue yet true, for they are a twin;
and if you pass by a tree, stop and listen
to the spirit that throbs within.~
