Bernard F. Asuncion City Poems

Set your eyes on what lies ahead,
not on what you see around;
Undertake to learn things
teaching lessons that do abound.
...

The gray gives way, a blush upon the pane,
And muted sounds begin to softly creep.
A distant horn, a whispered drop of rain,
Disturb the slumber of a city deep.
...

Towers,
Concrete canyons,
Buzzing crowds, lights ablaze,
Heart's relentless and vibrant pulse,
...

Month of October each year,
At the break of 20th dawn;
Running water in the river
Is God's endless grace's revelation.
...

A-im at the holy city,
L-ife eternal is in store;
Y-ou still have the chance,
N-ever ignore the heaven's door.
...
