Today’s theme is Haru ta (Spring paddy fields) The proud Filipino in me though couldn’t resist writing about the Banaue Rice Terraces
Rice fields resonate
With voices of forefathers
Undying epic
恵
Divine masterpiece
Sculpted by bare human hands
Motherland’s life source
恵
Majestic stairway
With every step grows louder
Song of ancestors
恵
By the paddy fields
Old farmer with his back bent
An unsung hero
