STA.
ANA
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Cranes
atop carabaos at work
Amid
endless sights of rice fields
That
merge with the mountains on their brims
Where
thick canopies of trees add color
To the
green canvass of the picturesque scenery
Here
are the trademarks of the path
To
Sta. Ana the forthcoming legend.
Reached
by land from arterial roads
Where
the traveler’s exhaustion is gaily relieved
By the
vista of the cool blue sea
A
limitless basin aplenty
With
marine basics and exotics.
Soon
there shall rise an industrial
Enclave
whose merchandise will be sold
To
foreign lands and peoples.
Fisherfolk,
planters and workingmen meet
There
in an unintended league
To
realize that beauteous and bountiful
Nature
and profitable shops & foundries
Can’t
at all conceal miserly living.
