Humaling
(n) extreme fondness
What might I say to this
Endearment
Should it be felt toward
Me
I would be without peer
Except by those
Extremely loved
Not only loved by God
But by creation’s
Offering
Those who can choose
To love—and have
Chosen me
Perfect love is cast,
And I will have mortal
Love while in this
Life
May this expand
‘Til those who love
Encompass everything
Without condition:
A globe of endearment
Now
And heaven here

Thank you, Sam!

I enjoy how you relate the term humalang to the entire world and the heavens. Beyond an individual thing for you, but important for you individually just the same.

Thank you, Mandi. And you’re right. I’d like love to grow throughout the world. But that means having love one by one.

wow. you gave this Filipino word a deeper meaning, brother. from personal to spiritual, you’ve told it beautifully!
July 14, 2016 at 2:44 am
Thank you, sister. Love is spiritual, though we feel it personally. I’m happy (and relieved) to know I do the word some justice.
July 14, 2016 at 3:34 am
not some justice, but great justice. I agree, brother. 😉

“A globe of endearment
Now
And heaven here”
~beautiful lines here that carried such profound meaning.

Maria, thank you. Endearment is something we each should feel. Wouldn’t it great if it became a global, human constant, too?
July 14, 2016 at 9:15 am
Ah, I’d give anything to live in a world like that. Sigh…
You’re most welcome. 🙂

Very profound and beautiful told so simply. If only we could all know love to live in “a globe of endearment”. Thank you!

I’m happy to hear you see both simplicity and profundity here. Frankly, I’m enjoying your appreciation. Yes, if. If one by one all could be loved, then we’d have an amazing world. Clarissa, thank you!
