Autumn Leaves

Blessilda Cyra Garcia

Colorful hues of the mellow season Like men and women of varying reasons Glint with the light of the fading afternoon Greeted by dim of the December moon

Just like the leaves on the branch of a tree Living a life that is vibrant and free No matter the shade, whatever the color Each leaf gets its share of existing splendor

For every leaf shares the same soil and air Under the same sky, all ought to be fair Guarded by the stars, blanketed by moonlight The flaws and strengths exposed at daylight

However different other people may look We sway the same whenever the tree shook Like leaves that gives vibrance to the world Let us make our society warmer and less cold.

yugto III

Mga dilag na maningning Dala’y tapang kung tumingin Na tanging buwan sa dilim Walang takot kung mamasdan Nanguna’t pinatunayan.

Maipagmamalaki rin Sa ano pa mang larangan Mga pambihirang galing Mga dilag na maningning.

Mga yugtong ‘pinamalas

Abilidad ay napanday

Ng karanasang lumipas Nag-alab, binigyang-tinig

Nagliwanag, siniwalat Mga dilag na maningning.
