Analysis of The Love Wanders
John Leaster Caballes Javellana 1997 (Surigao City)
I have been thinking
This heart keeps asking
The answers are confusing
This mind tells searching
Soles are kissing the ground
Legs are up and down
Ears hear left and right
Eyebrows are creating an arch
My eyes watch people on two’s
My head turn where gravity calls
My toes wave it feels cold
My feet ask where to go
