IN FLIGHT (Poem 45)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
I’ve assembled the elements of next
Circumstances. They are built no less
By the urgency that has sprung
From the deepest recesses of the unconscious mind
Of watering down things to be watered
Or nailing fixtures in places where they’re utile.
 
So in the making of flights
I’ve had my luggage prepared
Had my mind attuned [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 44)

IN FLIGHT
(Poem 44)
 
By: Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
 
What is it that lies inside me
Knocking ceaseless at my doors
Yet ‘twas within me? All along
It has been with me: a hidden language
That had floated visibly to the surface
Like a gigantic submarine moored in the docks.
It is my inner self’s sublime speech.
 
Alas! My outer self can only [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 43)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
 
Dwindling verdant environs sadden me.
Will I in flight be rest assured
That tempestuous over-exploitation shall spare
The last remaining flora of endeared Mother Earth?
 
Our dream of finally containing
The mad urges to fell woods and ravage flora
Is fading like flickering flames of a candle.
‘Twas refurbished as part
Of the bizarre landscape of obscurantism
That [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 42)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
In flight
Never shall I neglect the teaching
I’ve learned then as an enthused Thespian:
My acting out of roles in the theatre stage
Is the sublime act of shaping my acting out
Of myriad roles in the world of the here-and-now
Where one confronts multitudes of audiences
The roles I portray as plenty as millions of [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 41)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
What ought I search for further?
In flight what more things to share?
Thanks so much my mind’s so nourished,
Experiences learned. All thoughts
And actions mutually enrich each other.
This truth my growing up had unearthed
From the deep mines of Olympus
As I’ve walked the face of the Earth.
 
I mentored for a half and three [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 40)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
Let my flight be a shaman that heals
The gathered wounds in my heart
Wounds inflicted by the despicable slaying
Of my brothers who have struggled arduously
For causes soaked in the aura of Lady Justice.
 
O! My heart is slowly eaten up
By grief so deep upon the thought
Of the murder of leaders [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 39)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
Let me in flight bear the tricky vogue
Of breathing. ‘Tis no plain engulfing of air
Deep into our bag breathers and then breath-out.
 
Breathe the air of Life!
Don’t ever breathe like one who’ll later walk
Like an intoxicated cockroach dazed.
Don’t ever breathe so un-artfully  whence later
You’re cast down as a phlegmatic mammal.
 
Breathe the [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 38)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
What then, my Wings of Flight?
Will you later lead me back to my cradle land?
Will I be what personage by then?
Will I be a Ceasar who shall bring home
Laurels of triumphant conquests?
Will I be like him who came to be known
Through the fiery pathway of warfare?
Will I end up like [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 37)

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
In my flight in the morrows
Pen and tongue I’ll muster
And share with fellows eager
To behold the notes of life
Notes of life that elevate
Them to their dreams’ heights at last.
 
Hopefully the notes I’ll share
Shall register as permanent memoriam
Ne’er as undeciphered letters written
On sea shores that waves soon wash away.
 
Allow the [...]

IN FLIGHT (Poem 36)

Bro.  Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
  
I shall not go weary with the waiting.
Time’s no evil, Time is kind
Time does not stand still for the doer
As it glides smoothly with the trade’s making.
 
I shall not go weary with the waiting.
Time is honest, Time is gentle
Time is merciful to the pilgrim
Who’s been shaping up for earnest sharing.
 
I [...]
