I Wonder Why

The Wonder Moment

I wonder why,

It's the city of Zamboanga;
Then about that Jesuit's vignette,
Not on Cebu or Dumaguete?

I wonder why,
I didn't stay long in Manila
To see the sunset on the bay
Or write a seminarian story?

I wonder why, 
Medicine didn't ease my longing
Nor accounting or engineering;

But the fascination of letters,
The novelty of syllables,
The awesome splendor of writers.

And I still wonder
If I write in my intention:
To read, to learn, and to gather
Nuggets buried in oblivion
To scatter for the generation?
