Mount Mayon

By Engr. Ramon Perete Orticio

Caped with the blue horizon

Robed in verdant majesty

Huge and gigantic so pure and beautiful

A lovely creation for us all

Slopes gently bent on every side

A faultless symmetry none can hide

Matchless in ways and charm

So dear a lady smiles with warmth

Morning glances cast on every window

Over the rooftops flowers watch aglow

A sublime sight at the wake of day

And at dusk she fades to pray

Far be it from me that I should forget

Such ethos immaculate and divine

For either sorrow, pang or pain

Winnows precious memories in vain
