Baguio, 2009

The mountain is lost in the thickness of the mist, hiding with it the secrets of the living. As the torrential and unforgiving rain bears down heavily to the already soaked earth, who can tell how many tears are being shed by the eyes of the hidden? Seeming as though the door of the terrace is floating in the heavens, as contrary to the depths the heart of the one who stands to look outside has plunged...into an abyss far deeper than the eyes can fathom, blacker than the darkness of the night. The cold draft brought upon the room feels warmer than the coldness that has found its way deep into the bones of the one crawling on the ground. The sounds of the world is muted by the deafening countless drops of tears from the heavens. A gentle rain cleanses this earth of its dusts and filth, rejuvenating the heat scorched land. Yet the pressure that has built up, and the force at which it moves, it seeks not rejuvenation...but destruction. How many lives has it taken? I only have one life I would want to deliver from this world. Yet the drowning conversations of a tongue incomprehensible delivers to me the vital essence of living. If only I can describe the beauty of it. But how can one’s mouth describe beauty when his eyes are drenched in red? Soaking and drowning in his own pool of blood, hate and destruction. Words senselessly uttered, letters monotonously brought together in an attempt to organize a life c=scattered in pieces from the start. But is one condemned by hoping? Or wishing? What of the failures that is born with us from the womb? How can one describe happiness? Would getting what we want bring us happiness? Or of desire? What are these ramblings of this life about? What is left after the storm? Will there really be the rainbow?
