IN TRANSIT
I was trying my best yesterday to sleep before going on board for another night at work. From out of the blue, I woke up to an awareness of words forming in my mind of their own accord. I realized then that I was writing a poem in my subconscious. So I succumbed, hoisted myself out of bed and gave up sleep to give way to the words.

ALONG A QUIET RIVER
in my playground I am all by myself
I dance my dance and move my moves
think my thoughts and be my being
nobody knows, nobody sees
save for the one who knows I am here
save for the one who sees from afar
save for the one who will not touch
he lets me be for he sees me
he lets me be
what I will be
or will to be
here in my playground I am all alone
unshackled to who I am
or what I am
or have to be
I am not pinned down by margins
or borders
or zones
there is but one essence of being
it has no form
so you think you see me
but then... how?
for I have not let you

he lets me be for he sees me
he lets me be
what I will be

ang ganda mylab.
yan ata sign ng creative mind. from out of the blue dumarating ang inspiration, and it's almost always effortless. i admire the way your mind works.
dapat pala, may dala ka parating pen and paper sa bedside table mo para captured mo lahat.
You are revealed by your words. I even see a lovely girl in the very way the words were arranged. Ang galing, Jet!
Papa, I just hope the inspiration didn't come so rare and far in between... hehe. Thank you. Glad you like it.
Labyu! :D
Thanks Dr. E! :D
hi jet!
hopped from toni's!
i answered the question you posted, and strangely, i mentioned "dejavu" in the question i posted in return, and to find the same word again here! :)
oh, and i should add:
not exactly dejavu, but something like that at least! hehe
read your comment ms firefly. yup, my blog's name is not quite deja vu but yes, it's a spin off... hehe. so rain reminds you of home. does that for me too.
It's funny how you say 'nobody knows' when, truth is, here we are, watching, admiring...

Love the way how you wrote about the freedom to explore, the freedom to try and do things without fear.
"nobody knows, nobody sees
save for the one who knows I am here
save for the one who sees from afar
save for the one who will not touch
he lets me be for he sees me" - I find these to be the best lines in your piece. Beautifully written.
thanks, c. :D

but then... how?
