You have heard the tale of the

Concealed under the branches,
Finding at the topmost point fresh
branches pointing towards the
sunset,
Waving toward the dawn..
In the north on the seashore lie nine
rows of sequins
35. To fifty trees and branches cling;
In the south they drop showers;
In the north the breeze makes
branches sway
There is a place in the Sikala

Where there grows a bontia (a
tiny stone of magic properties)
pebble on the rocks.
Wire cannot dent it;
Iron and knives cannot cut it

Gird on sword;
Hold the war shield;

Hold up spears;
Gird on sword
Fringed with goat’s hair,
Tipped with kid’s wool.
Ride horses;
Run the horses;
38. Racing, racing,
Dance to kuglung:
Dance flute;
Dancing, all dancing,
Lay betel in mouth;
Tobacco makes dizzy,
Wash in Ragubrub,
At bank of malilyo.

Making combs very high;
Fix logan for bees.
Make saddles; make
stirrups.
Dig the holes; build the
house,
Make palandag.

sturdy wooden ledge
Placed on each side of his
moving rural device.
43. The wheels moved past the
wet, running board.
When suddenly the driver
stepped on the brake.
The driver swayed as the
vehicle roared.
An old coconut wood was
shattered and raked.

And when once we avoided

46. IN THE TIMES LIKE THIS
(SAMUEL C. LACIA JR.)
In times like this the wind couldn’t be that
amiable,
Its harsh sound and cold touch resembling
doom;
In times like this the night couldn’t be that
lovable,
Dreadful moments engulfed me in gloom.
47. In times like this moss-covered
cliff couldn’t be that awesome,
Its steep, rocky surface I
considered a bane;
In times like this soft feel of the
earth couldn’t be that
wholesome,
Stepping of this patch of dirt a
little longer is insane.
48. Yet, a sailor takes the
winds as a friend,
Propelling his ship to a
place the wished;
The nightingale struggles
to sing no end,
Amidst darkness,
conveying hope and
peace.
49. The climber aims for the
highest mountain,
For the higher he goes ,
the greater is his
happiness;
The farmer toils the soil
amidst the cold drops of
rain,
For when the earth is wet,
the fruits are priceless.
