..the beauty of idle time....

While listening to Makiling Ensemble weave a tapestry of beautiful music, I decided to doodle amidst friends and co-artists...Here's what came out of the process..

balloon lady

won't you come to church
with me

fly me to the star nearest
to the moon
so i could peer into the face of
such a beautiful god

the stars may have all drifted away
into nothingness
but you still keep my heart
on a string
and yours still in mine

so won't you come to church
with me sometime.


tumbang preso

halika't samahan mo
ako sa ilalim ng buwan
magtakbuhan at maghiyawan
magsaya
at maging bata uli
kahit 'sang saglit lang

kumandirit at tumalon
sabay bato ng tsinelas
sa latang naghihintay na
magapi
dahil
mayamaya lang ay tatawagin
na ni Inay
at muling mangangarap na ika'y makasabay.
