Bernard F. Asuncion Leaving Poems

The commercial plane
flies high above the white clouds,
as the runway fades.
...

Illona Jhajha's natal day
Delights her heart, her soul, and mind;
Making her not lonely and gray,
She's glad, leaving the blue behind.

O-n March twenty-seven;
S-hadows have disappeared,
A-s the morning sun has risen.
