repost! i got these from my old blog.

A Glimpse of Happiness

It was a glimpse of happiness
a moment of forgetting
a moment of believing
with smiles i thought i'd never have again
and laughter i thought i'd never hear
every second of it will be kept dearly
every bit of it will be remembered
a moment of oblivion
a moment of entrusting

it was a glimpse of happiness
with seemingly endless pain
the consciousness of reality
and blinding light of waking hours
have surreptitiously wounded my senses
and as i bleed taciturnly
my heart is weakened
and strengthened at the same time
the longest pain of waking hours

it was just a glimpse of happiness
a moment of everything
a moment of nothingness
it was bliss
it was pain
it came and left
but i will never regret
never forget.

lilipad ako. pero asa'n ang pakpak ko?
lilipad ako. pero pa'no ba lumipad?
lilipad ako. pero sa'n ako pupunta?
lilipad ako. pero paano pag nahulog ako?

tara.
samahan mo 'ko maghanap ng pakpak,
at lilipad tayo.
tara.
turuan mo 'ko lumipad,
at lilipad tayo.
tara.
punta tayo sa mundong atin lang,
at du'n lilipad ng walang humpay.
tara.
pag nahulog, sabay tayong mahuhulog.
ano, sama ka?
tara na.
