You shelter The mystery and meaning Of a thought, looking through The incomparable charm Of a muse Cherished by enchantment...
You may subside... Still, it would seem, the storm that You hold Stands to be an encumbrance, Borne By doubt and memory...
The clouds may leave The rainbow may shroud The apprehension that looms... Yet, upon your coming... Sadness and happiness In my heart Would be instilled...
I thank Ms. SALLY BAYAN for this wonderful translation of my Filipino poem entitled "Ulan." Ms. Sally's poetry is accessible in this site. Thank you Ms. Sally for the motherly appreciation...
