You are great – a part
of a vast ocean enfolding the whole terrain
I will drown if you swallow me, gasping
for breath as my air chamber
slowly crumbles;
the dangerous but wonderful, it is you.
Beauty: the scene of your palisades that churches
become dwarfs:
hue of blue and white intertwined with
splash of green all around. But be not too proud;
you are nothing –
the sun and sky gave you color,
color that nothing compares
and the tectonics dance you in great rhythm
choreographed in harmony.
Be simple, and in eternity
I will see you forever
living in grandeur. Waving.

Jepoy, ewan ko ba kung bakit ganito 'yung pakiramdam ko. Galing ng beginning part. Bakit my sudden shift ng intent sa middle? What do you really want to emphasize? Teka basahin ko uli.

living in grandeur. Waving. - GAWA KA NG PARAAN PARA HINDI MAGING BIGLA ANG TRANSITION. DALAWA KASI YUNG MAIN DESCRIPTION MO NG WAVES. EWAN, PERSONAL LANG. GALING NG BEGINNING!
hehe, i intently made the transition abrupt to get to my point. this poem is about greatness and humility and using waves as a metaphor. just want to emphasize that grandeur is not forever. and you can easily fall down if you are too proud.
salamat sa comment, and i'll see if i can still edit this.
