A Pair of Poems

FROM two SanibLakas Foundation members, both of them part of the LightShare e-Mail List Group, we got this pair of poems to inaugurate our "Metaphors & Passions” (Poetry) section.
.

The first one, by Mila ‘Sam’ Reyes-Garcia, is from the author’s published collection of untitled poems: somewhere between your smile and your frown, and other poems.

.

The second poem, by Karen Angela Vanni Virata (now Cristi) of the Sanib-Sining Movement for Synaesthetics, was given a me­lody and has become one of the favorites during “Sanib-Tinig” (musical artjams) ses­sions of “Sanib-Sining.”

.

We hope the readers will send in their own poems.

I watch the ants

clambering, struggling

up our wall :

busy, busy, busy

and yet

they always MAKE time

to stop.to greet.to kiss.

I wish

that you and I

were ants.

Happy Voices Together

AD SPACE

...D....................................G

I. Happy voices together,

.....................................................D

Beautiful as children’s laughter,

.................C..............................D

Resonating in each melody,

.....................G.............D

Happy spirits in harmony.

(keep same chords pattern to the end of song.)

.

II. Happy voices in communion,

Joined in simple celebration,

To the Universe we offer,

Happy voices in one prayer

.

III. La-la La-la-la La-la-la…

.

IV. Happy voices together,

In the songs that last forever,

Deep within each one’s heart,

Everybody plays a part,
