a wave of warmth rises from the East.
the marriage of red and orange injects itself in the bleak, blank sky.
blue, red, white, and yellow dances with the cool breeze.
as the chariot of Apollo rises, a glimmer of hope streams into the blind eyes.
a new hope for the archipelago of the seas.
a new hope for a new tomorrow.
i wrote this during the Philippines' Independence Day last year (June 12) and this roots from my hope to see change in my country.
