Paaralang Bayan sa Himpapawid (People's School-on-Air) with Ms Melly C Tenorio
738 DZRB AM, [www.pbs.gov.ph] 8-9 evening class Monday to Friday
Talisay or umbrella tree (Terminalia catappa)
I wait for a gust of wind
to shake you up and make you
a skeleton in the blue sky;
your nakedness is also mine
in the passage of time.
One by one your noble death
is proclaimed, each leaf a page,
falling in peace and dignity;
dying to tell the world the story
of the greatest mystery.
It is losing your crown and die
a little in order to resurrect,
and your tenants to breath,
your litter enriching the earth,
the womb and cradle of birth. ~
