Old church of San Vicente, Ilocos Sur 2017
Dawn is the child of sunrise,
azure, crimson, emerald,
curtain of a new day,
a call for all to rise.
Through the church's window,
she joins hymns and psalms,
prayers of the faithful
seated row by row.
Over the mountain range
a reclining profile rises,
her gown of darkness fades
and soon will change.
Like the dawn I'm a child,
rising up as she rises,
to her ephemeral beauty
devoid of any pride. ~
