Mt. Mayon

Mt. Mayon, the majestic beautiful volcano
Located in the province of Albay
Such a sight to behold
Despite its activity and restiveness

I almost have forgotten its splendor
In the midst of the rustle and bustle of a metropolis life
I feel quite lucky looking at it now
And say to myself, ‘What a wonderful gift from the Lord above.’

Clouds are forming around the volcano
As if hiding the tremors going on inside
But maybe it needs to do so
To keep Mayon from spewing ashes

Or maybe it also needs to spew ashes sooner than later
For it means life goes on even for a volcano
And it sure adds to its uniqueness
That such beauty can also be angry once in a while

But such anger I am sure is healthy
For it means that negative emotions can be drained
And washed away to meet its final destiny
In water, the ever reliable source of life!

Mt. Mayon is one volcano known not only for its almost perfect cone but also for its being the most active volcano in the Philippines. It is located in the provine of Albay, about more than an hour's flight from Manila.
