this undated drawing was done between late september and early october 2014 at our house at calinan. it was a rainy afternoon and i usually sit outside our front door steps in the afternoon just before 5pm to watch the white egret birds fly back home to the calinan rice fields and perch on top of coconut trees just behind our house, i noticed these birds just enjoying a light rain bath and had to draw and write about them.
ug ang mga langgam
ni lingkod
wala naglihok
wala nagsaba
nagpaulan sila
nagtanaw sila
sa ulan
ug ilang gibati
ang ulan sa
ilang balahibo
translation:
and the birds
sat
without moving
without making a sound
they bathed
they watchedthe rain
they felt
the rain
on their feathers
