Closer Poem by Ma Aileen Canizares Salibay

It makes me wonder
When tiny buds suddenly bloom
Not only from twilight till dawn
But all day long.

When summer hues appear,
In what was once somber and starless sky
And when sweet memories parade in the air
Under the beautiful turquoise sky

It makes me wonder
When tears drop no more
And the wind only whispers
What ears hope to hear.

It makes me wonder
When a handsome dream
I watch from afar
Comes closer and closer.

Is it destiny?
Does a deity hearken my cry?
Or you and me imply
That hope is a thing that can fly.
