\"Tessie<\/a>

Tessie<\/p><\/div>\n

Tessie just recently retired from government service in Australia as a \u00a0resource economist and has just launched her new venture “Silverbay Australia<\/a>.” She obtained her bachelor’s degree in forestry from the University of the Philippines Los Ba\u00f1os. She taught for 8 years at UPLB before migrating to Australia in 1985. She\u00a0obtained her PhD from University of Melbourne.<\/p>\n

\n

\"silverbay\"<\/a>As the full moon rises from the waters
\nThe seaside village watches with glee
\nThe moon shines on a typical summer
\nMoonlight revellers by the sea.<\/p>\n

The children frolicked on the beach
\nChasing each other and some crabs
\nThat scaped their holes and peeped
\nOn the commotion created above.<\/p>\n

Women chatted about anything
\nHappy with just sands on their toes
\nWhile men debate what a moon shining
\nBrings to end fish scarcity woes.<\/p>\n

As they soak in nature’s sky wonder
\nA child gazes intently at the sparkles
\nThe moon has cast on the water
\nSilvery peaks of waves like miracles.<\/p>\n

He casts a smile as he build dreams
\nHow he could capture the sight
\nFor others to behold or let out screams
\nMarvelling at the encased light.<\/p>\n

In his tender age once asked his mother
\nTo interpret what birds really say
\nAs their dawn chorus emitted chatter
\nIndelible from his young heart that day.<\/p>\n

He believed the moon will remain
\nWhen he becomes a man one day
\nTo inspire from seemingly mundane
\nVillage sights like tonight’s Silverbay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
