Rhapsody

By: Jolo Van Clyde S. Abatayo


I. Adrift in placid skies, so light, so fair,

Defying gravity with an ease, an airy dare,

Ascending to lewd heavens with nary a care,

Observing fireflies ignite the dark, a luminous affair;

 

II. Descending swiftly into a daunting barranca's hold,

Swaying gently to the sweet sonata, bold,

Penning freely an unfolding fantasia, untold,

Pursuing the elusive vessel of cornucopia, so gold;

 

III. At times, a sinister serpent subtly appears,

Its body, sinuous and stout, breeding fears,

A creature of mystery, its whereabouts unclear,

A horror paralyzing, sealing lips, a mute despair;

 

IV. Neither enchantment nor a hallucinatory vision,

They deem it a spectral form of premonition,

Others whisper of misconceived perception,

Ah, ’tis but a dream—an ephemeral illusion!
