ON PITFALLS & STARS
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Man,
In times when mind’s soaked
in an intoxicating concoction
of rage and fiery resentment
ought not battle against pitfalls
that are really no pitfalls
when gauged against virtues
that they unintendedly unlock
for such virtues are ever present
in the labyrinth of pursuits
awaiting to float to the surface
of riverine Existence
no matter how inconspicuous these are;
they are stars that are forever
habituating the firmaments
in grandiose beauty,
despite dark clouds
despite dark clouds
[Writ. 02 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]
