IN FLIGHT (Poem 7)

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago

Yesterday I quipped:
I’ve been walking
On the face of the Earth.

I am sturdier now than ever.

Enough to shift gears
To fly! Fly high!

And assert the truth
That man’s being

Planet-wide
Is not barren
Not barren!

That Being arises
Shining even beyond
Gold’s luster
Shining to

Advance! Advance
Man’s place

In the kosmic order.
Man shall be.

[Writ. 22Aug. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]
