Tikob Lake, Tiaong, Quezon
Dusk comes early, morning late,
in this crater lake, placid and calm;
her high rise walls the rugged rim
of an ancient sleeping volcano
in the children’s story of Jules Verne;
her water mirrors heaven and birds
and white clouds in the sky;
in an illusion of oneness;
while deep into the center of the earth,
her water cools off her temper
and nurtures life in her womb.
while seasons come, seasons go.~
