I remember still
When the Amihan knocked me down
And the neon lights flashing

Embraced by the Milky Way
And the hauntingly vivid
Recollections of past encounters

A peek into eternity
Befuddling fluid motions
And emotions of the here and now

If only to suppress the
Orchestrated sound of a beating heart
As an eloquent silence passed

But the echoes reverberate
Through the unrelenting crowd
As rhythmic fragments hit and struck

And the night's dance swayed into
a frantic blur, as my lenses focused on the disarray amidst the haze

That is my bleeding head
And my hopeless heart
Finally finding its place

Then the moment seized to play
And the warm skein of feelings wrapped
Around my skin broke away

The final scene recurs
Each time the wind blows
As a sad memory, a curse

A fitting end to a moment wasted
A lesson from the anguished
The final release of the vanquished soul
