messages in the sand

there is a river
there is a bridge

i pass on it
i look at it
i close my eyes
i wonder..

there are messages i can read
written on the water that moves
on the sand that spreads

i saw people everywhere
i saw candles alit
prayers were said
songs hymns ...were whispered like a prayer
while many a tear fell

when did all these mixed emotions start
on a sunset
or a sunrise

did you leave a message on the sands of time
did you move the waters of aklan river

at sunset or at sunrise...
