MANIFESTO by Ruth

A pair of trainers to run the earth

With people I hold dear

A pair of sunglasses to watch the sky

As the day is drawing near

A prayer in my pocket, the Word in my heart

And love to tell me why…

These are the things that I must keep close

And all I need to get by.

Go

by: Ruth Mostrales

I wish that I could go

As far as my eyes can see,

I wish that I could flow

Like a teardrop to the sea.

Like a bird that has learned to fly

Who finds answers to her whys,

Like a fish that has found its gills

To explore the sandy hills.

I may not know what the eagles know

Or go where the rivers flow,

But I’ve got love to show the way

To go where my heart should go.#

Mga Utos

ni Ruth Mostrales

 

Simulan ang araw bago umulan,

Sipatin ang mga yapak na kaniyang iniwan;

Sundan ang kinabukasang laging tumatakas —

Pasiglahin ang dasal at apulahin ang malas.

 

Kapag tayo’y napagod sa pakikipagtunggalian,

Sa paghithit ng usok ng prusisyong walang hanggan,

Gaya ng ibong nakalulan sa amihang pumipintig,

Sumayaw tayo maging sa gitna ng ligalig. 

 

Habang nagtataasan ang mga gusali,

Sabayan ito ng paglilinang sa ugali —

At kapag hapo ang pusong minamaliit,

Sungkitin ang bituing iginuhit noong tayo’y paslit.

 

Sa kublihan ng pag-asa, tayo’y magpahinga

At matulog yakap-yakap ang awa ng kalangitan

Na bagamat kadalasa’y nagtatago, o ‘di madama

Sa pagbibigay lingap ay ‘di lumiliban, kaya’t

 

Simulan ang araw bago umulan,

Sipatin ang yapak na kaniyang iniwan kahapunan;

Sundan ang kinabukasang laging tumatakas —

Pasiglahin ang dasal, at apulahin ang malas.#
