Trees on the Campus

 Trees on the Campus

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."

- William Shakespeare

Dr Abe V Rotor

University of Santo Tomas, Manila

Living cradle to while away the time,

to catch up with many a lost sleep;

watch out, a nap gone over the clime,

where time and opportunity slip.

Ateneo de Manila University, QC

Pendants you wear in the night,

blinking with the chilly air,

bring tidings beyond your shade,

to far places poor and fair.

Central Luzon State University, Muñoz, NE

When in bloom golden, only for a day or two;

confetti follows where the bees have gone,

in every flower is born a new life, the embryo,

seed to a tree in another place and time. 

Mt Makiling, UPLB Laguna

Black and white makes you bold and real

of your strangler's reputation,

climbing on your host tree to the sky,

a piece of mystery of creation.
