Several times aboard a marine vessel that transports me between the island provinces of Bohol and Cebu in central Philippines, most of those happened during the late hours in the afternoon, I had witnessed the fairly eye-catching setting of the sun behind the low mountains of Cebu, with its radiance illuminated from a dome of orange and red and deep purple.
Most of my travel at sea between the two islands I traveled alone; I enjoyed the fresh salty air and the calmness of the sea, the state of being alone creates a tranquil room for self-reflection and contemplation. I am the kind who enjoys the company of my close friends and likes to travel with them, but I also enjoy and prefer to travel a few hours at sea by myself. It is when I reflect on the things I've done or should have done in the past, and figuring where this road I'm taking is leading to.
The sunset is my sole company during those times. Amid handfuls of strangers and passengers I find wordless conversations with nature. But it gives me a twinge of guilt going back into it over and over, finding solace in it, blinded most of the time by my own desire to fill some emptiness inside me, and making use of the sunset's company without even giving a slightest expression for its beauty.
Now, it is just time to say these words...
Receding is its fiery beauty
to the western heaven's infinity,
That mystical venture into dusk
is its routine glorious trip---
An endless prompt
for the insatiable poets.
In the sky it's the serene belle,
the cosmic masterpiece on symmetry
Summoning all eyes
to its dome of motley diffusion---
A day's closure so grandeur
hails the waking of night into action.
Shadows cast to the east such impressibility,
Evoking the fantasies of a mind so engrossed, so visionary.
The blending of darkness to the
dimming rays' heavenly hymn ---
All praised by the songs
of my singing pen.

PS how do you manage your blogs? (isa pa lang hirap na ako, idol!)
All of the poems here were already written and finalized before I go online to search for images that would best fit into the words of the poem...and so far, it works...I just hope it wont get harder as time goes, or maybe I will search for pictures first and write a poem about it --- in the future...but I will then specify it in an introduction. In the meantime, I'm writing first before searching for images.
So far for me the picture used here is the most striking and dramatic and breathtaking.The credit goes to its respective owner, H_takeec.
This poem is actually based in construction with that of the Streetlight, which is personifying objects and relating life to an object that is rather perceived as ordinary, and often ignored.
Thanks to all of you for dropping by. HUGS!
