Sa Umaga't Sa Gabi, Sa Bawat Minutong Lumilipas...

Amazing feat: I did not drown in my sleep last night. Maybe I was just too tired from all the tears I've been shedding for the past few days that my eyelids just let gravity do its work on them.

Nightfall always amazes me. There's a certain surrender that happens at the moment the sun fades into the darkness. At the end of the day, most of us retreat to our homes & take comfort in the company of our loved ones. Some of us turn to our blogs & spill out our day's byproducts & look for some relief in expression. And when the bedroom lights go out, there are some who stare at the ceiling remembering the activities of the day that passed & there are some who, as they close their eyes, are flooded with images of places & people that they've seen & encountered, not just recently, but also from their entire lifetimes. And then, the entire system shuts down as sleep possesses it. Incredible.

SA IYO 052004

Magsasawa rin ako
Sa kahahanap;
Mapapagod din ako
Sa kaiiyak;
Titigil din ako
Sa kaaasa;
Mangangalay rin ako
Sa kahihintay;
Mababagot din ako
Sa kangangarap --

Sa Iyo.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long. -- Pablo Neruda
