Mount Kitanglad

I long to wake up
                          to a morning of clean, clear skies
                            and beaming sunlight warming
                                             my cogon hut
                          at the clearing way down south of
                                           Mount Kitanglad;

                                           I long to gaze up
                       and marvel at the freedom and frolic
                                   of a wedge of wild ducks
                                    as they glide northwest
                            above the forest, but will be back
                                                  at dusk;

                                            I long to listen
                               to creeks of crystalling water,
                       to their joyous music as they playfully
                    tumble down rocks, stones and pebbles,
                           seeking to soak into the parched,
                                              thirsty earth.
