Tunnel Windows to Heaven

Tunnel Windows to Heaven

In loving memory of the late Rev Msgr Benjamin Advincula.

Episcopal Vicar for the Clergy, Archdiocese of Capiz,

and Parish Priest of Santa Monica

Dr Abe V Rotor

Daybreak, I ask what lies beyond the wall, and a whisper

came through, what goes in there. 

And the view

I see is the same though,

yet a vine across the window

is calling, hello!

 

Walls, walls, walls, I complain.

Windows, windows the sun and wind in refrain.

 

One window is blocked

with the machine of a clock

that had long stopped.

Tic-tac-tic-tac-tic-tac

Here's one bright morning, ah, but another game,

yet a holy name I hear to learn to say, Amen.

I see heaven through a keyhole,

and myself whole;

I wish to reach it, but the key isn't mine

And neither time.
