Saturday Morning

by Macky Octubre 7/12/2014

a soft kiss of the wind

a sweet melody of a humming maya
a bright, sunny Saturday morning
a beautiful start, a fresh beginning.

from the comfort of my little haven's window,

there, in all its glory. stand a mansanitas tree,
birds hopping from branch to branch,
a carefree life, a no worry life.

the yellow-green bayabas fruit,

its aroma entices me to pick and taste it,
oh no, must i do it? must i indulge in?
i may reach the bayabas in my corner, but its roots is in my neighbor.

Mingming just gave birth

three tiny kittens, of black, grey, and white,
in their stillness in that small shoe box
a new life has sprung.

just at the back of my haven,

a green grass of field covers the earth,
saging, abana, and oh mansanitas
give shade to chickens and its chicks.

people passing, people rushing

i wonder where they are going.
but can they see the beauty that i have seen
God's creation, in this bright Saturday morning?
