Lake Lanao Afternoon

Breathtakingly broad and vast,
   dark-green plains and hills bask
        in mute delight

in the amber late afternoon
   by the blue lake's refracted,
        soft sunlight.

Across the faint skyline float
   whiffs of cottony white
        clouds low-lying

like fine feathers left behind 
   by  hurrying, homesick 
        birds low-flying!
