The room felt lonely, the walls missing the sound of people. The door was open, trying to bring light into the darkness, but the room held the person back, like it didn't want to be left alone.

Love held them close, making them dance together without words. The sunset smiled at them, shining bright like it was happy to see them so in love. In that moment, nothing else mattered but the beat of their hearts.

Hope woke up with the sun, spreading the light everywhere. The sun smiled at her, reminding that even in a darkest night or any problem she may encounter, there's always a new day with new chances. It reminded people that each day is a fresh start.

Time quietly moved forward, gently pushing the past away. The clock ask for change, even though it was hard to let go of the old moments. It reminded everyone that life is always moving, and nothing will stay the same for long

Pag-ibig ba'y pighati?

Tuwing ika’y kasama.

The day slowly ends.

A bird starts to sing.

Soft wings in the wind.

My inspiration behind my Tanaga and Haiku came from my thoughts and feelings about love and nature. My Tanaga is about "love" like how it can be confusing, happy and painful at the same time. I wrote it to show other people how love feels in different ways. My Haiku theme is "nature" because I wanted to show also to others the beauty of nature. Composing both really was a bit hard for me, but I enjoyed showing my feelings in short poem

Love and relationships relate to the emotional bonds between people. Love means caring, trusting, respecting, and having affection for someone. A healthy relationship, whether romantic or otherwise, is one in which we help one another during both the good and bad times. Taking the time to communicate and honesty helps us sustain our bond. Loving means growing together with someone while still being yourself.

Hope and positivity are potent feelings that assist a person in looking ahead toward promising alternatives. Hope gives someone the added strength to push through life's trials and tribulations. Positivity focuses on the bright side of an unfortunate situation and the belief that any challenge can be tackled. Hope and positivity jointly inspire confidence, happiness, and resilience. Together, both feelings form a framework for a more hopeful view of life.

Loneliness is the experience of being alone, even while around others. Loneliness arises as I feel that I don't have meaningful connection or support. Isolation can be a physical or emotional separation from others. Loneliness and isolation can both create feelings of sadness, emptiness, or disconnection. Loneliness is often closely tied to isolation, and both experiences can impact our mental and emotional health.

For time is like a gentle river, always moving and never stopping, wearing away the land as it flows. Change always accompanies time. It sometimes starts slow, like a creeping shadow, then quickly arrives at the point of being undeniable. The changes you thought were stable that you counted on to always be there are now changing. Change shows you that nothing remains the same. However, every tick of the clock presents the possibility to start anew.
