Landscape
Light glistens upon Anlagan
Clouds adorn themselves unto Tuminungan
Come, look: grace flows through Pamalugtuhan and Sawaga
The forest is compassionate
The rain listens
The wind counsels
It’s the heavens that reaches out here in Kitanglad
Perhaps it’s fine to consider amazent as prayer
Are there not many forms of faith?
