Words by Lois Danielle Dimaano
From Hiraya, Red Ink 2021
The path is still illuminated by these small victories
They told me there was a light
At the end of the tunnel
I kept searching for it
Forward I go
At times I felt desperate
Afraid of the uncertain
Little did I know
And realize
That maybe the light
Teems through the cracks
Every ray of light
Cutting through the darkness
It lights up the path ahead
Just a bit more
Small as they may be
THE BARRISTER
