Today’s theme is Haru ta (Spring paddy fields) The proud Filipino in me though couldn’t resist writing about the Banaue Rice Terraces
photo from Wikipedia
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
