Hideaway in a lovely realm

                                Hideaway in a lovely realm

Dr Abe V. Rotor

 

Scenic Tacloban, Leyte 2010. Typhoon Yolanda devastated the area in 2012.

If you can't find a place for respite,

If you can't eat and stretch your tired feet,

If your heart races for something it doesn't love,

It's time you slow down and look above.

If the road is too fast, your vision is blurred,

If people are no longer friendly but just a crowd,

If heads and machines never cease heating up

It's time to turn the knob to a stop.

If you have a family to share your love and pain

If you have good health before it goes down the drain,

If you want to live long, to hope and to dream,

It's time you hide in some lovely realm. ~
