Everyone of us traveled each day, yet, traveling in an open and raging sea on board a motor launch is a different story, it's full of thrill and excitement. If you have not experienced this kind of adventure, you can always try but you must think of your safety first before engaging into this kind of activity. The poem "Water Travel" from the book entitled "Whisper of Life " written by Cesar Gealogo is a true account of the author's experience from his younger years while sailing from his native barrio Zaragoza going to City of Surigao. Water travel well let you experienced, enjoy and get the feel of what thrill and excitement is all about in voyaging the raging sea.
(Excerpt from the book: Whisper of Life)
Water Travel
By: Cesar Gealogo
'Waves! Big waves!' a boy yelled.
Riding hide, the launch heaved and rolled,
engine shattering, its sound changing,
upon salty water we traveled.
'Waves! Big waves!' a lady shrieked,
captain's compass lost unwanted,
passengers screaming, launch was wobbling,
upon salty water we traveled.
'Waves! Big waves!' an old man yelped,
brutal waves smashing,
anxious passengers, water overlapping,
upon salty water we traveled.
'Waves! Big waves!' we all squealed,
launch's engine halted,
passengers' life jackets distributed,
upon salty water we traveled.
'Waves! Big waves!' we all prayed,
passengers trembling, wetted and paled,
the launch arrived safe and sound,
upon salty water we traveled.
