The Quite Place

Gil B. 1994 (Sorsogon)



The wind is blowing with passion and care.
The land is busy with their barefoot and tires.
The river is calm with no worries to bare.
As I see you this afternoon with a great smile you wear.

My mind is struggling with lots of fear…
Life is you without the feelings of breaking.
So much worries to think of what will happen again.
I’m trying my best to uplift myself, remembering how to live again.
