Illumination of Life
by Jeracel Mondragon
As my tears begin to drop,
Someone made it stop.
Someone helped me stand,
As they lend me their hand.
I really want to cry,
But I saw their beautiful smile.
I hugged them so deep,
Then a smile appeared on my lips.
I lied about my life,
I was ashamed of myself.
Yet someone had kept me still
And made the best to fill.
Nature’s Angst
by Sharina Anne Colina
The vast wind swirling and screaming around the walls
Containing my horror in the vein of a moth inside a jar,
Holding a mouthful of air like it was my last one,
And feeling my body for the last time.
Embracing nature’s angst
Devastating the thought of an innocent child.
Taking life away from what it was before
Maybe someday it can be restored.
Seeing the light that brought me back to life
I sigh for a new chance of existence.
Even if the sun will set today,
I know someone will be there to save the day.
Time will heal every burden that I feel,
I will recover with all the helps that they offer.
And above all I know there is a reason,
Why the creator devastated this one nation.

Dear mahal kong anak,
kamusta ka na riyan?
Sana ay nasa mabuti kang kalagayan.
Miss na miss ka na ni mama.
Ako’y nangungulila sa twina.
Ang iyong yakap at halik
ay nakakasabik nang makamit.
Parang kahapon lang tayo ay masaya.
Isang buwan na ang lumipas,
kay bilis nga naman ng oras.
Ilang araw pa ang aking hihintayin?
Upang ika’y makapiling.
Bunk houses ay itinatayo na.
Ang buhay dito ay muli nang sumibol,
Ngunit ang puso ko ay nananaghoy.
Dahil sa’yong pagkawala.
Anak mag pakita ka na.
Si Yolanda naman ay lumisan na.
Alam kong nariyan ka lang,
naghihintay na muli kaming masilayan.
Darating ang bagong umaga,
kasabay ang pag-asang makita ka.
Hihinatayin ka ni mama,
At mahal na mahal kita.
