Translated Filipino Poetry

It pretty much sums up how I feel right now. No, not really. I just thought it was good.

This is my translated, fixed and lengthened free verse poem for Filipino.

The Pristine Island
by Bryan Tan

I find myself in an island.
Gazing into the distance,
I see the vast ocean
and the beautiful sun setting on its waves

I find myself in an island.
I can taste the crispness of the air,
and the pure and clear water
from its rivers and streams.

I find myself in an island.
Truly, this place is paradise.
The plants and animals,
untouched by man.

I find myself in an island.
A peaceful and pristine island.
I am absorbed in the silence,
in the pure beauty unspoiled.

I find myself in an island,
and I am alone.
