A lovely place from where the sky is new
Reflects a vision of outrageous hue
Unclouded glass above the morning dew
A flood of puddle like an ocean blue
The mountain fog could not the winding path
Unjaded fellows gladly heed the draft
Nor by dark valley's shadow turn us back
To preach good tidings that will save from wrath
A fragrant scent of meat on air did waft
And green, fresh produce safely seethe the fat
A roasted brew is boiling in a vat
Sans sorrow, sanguine shepherds sweetly sat
T'is bitter sweet, once more we bid adieu
And hope one day such fellowship renew
Ernesto
Immigrant, friend, poet, dreamer
Native son of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya
Lover of haiku, senryu and chicken barbecue
I feel happy, with my life; sad, when one’s loss; angry, when betrayed
I fear snakes, dark, and crowded places
I would like to visit Canada, America and Australia
Legal resident of Athens, Greece
Santiago
