Finding lost dream.
Alone in the bamboo green,
Enjoying birds' song "streams".
Away from the crowd, deep in the forest trail.
Accompanied only by monkey tails
for this lonely forest pal.

“Become totally empty.
Quiet the restlessness of the mind.
Only then will you witness everything
unfolding from emptiness. "  

Laozi

The Bukit Timah 1st Divisional Channel empties of water,
but it reviews the massive displacement of water during a storm.

The green flat field along old Holland road empties of building,
but it reviews our breathable space.

The broad skyline quiets
the restlessness of our minds,
as we walk.
Thursday evening, 2nd July 2020, 9.2km walk.

A meditation walk,
my breath and pace clock.

Down comes the drizzle shock.

To anticipate a sudden pour
Hugging the road I walked.

Slow meditation walk ,
Became fast pace brisk walk.

"Let it be. Let it be. My old heart."

Let it be forgotten,
as each foot's step is forsaken.

Lets the memory my healthy heart fades,
as each moving breeze flashes.

Lets me get used to this erratic flutters
as each surprising pulsar flushes

Lets me treasure heart's humming norm and its fumble,
as each morning sun flash .

Let it blossoms and fades,
as a lovely flower.

Let it be. Let it be my old heart.
What better teacher than Nature to capture the essence of phases of our life?
My heart hums it all.

Set out with the least possible baggage,
and discover the beauty of nature.

Today I walked the path of life,
to explore the wetland beauty.

Enjoy the trivial of life,
along its wonderful way.

The songs of nature,
and the quarrelsome birds 🐦.

Wait a scaled log too?,
Ah, a sunbathing crocodile 🐊.

Grey coloured warship
rested on the dock.

With hoisting cranes
accompanying
it's loneliness.

A cloudy sky
holding back its tears.

See the restless sea,
crashing across the docks.

Taste the salt deposits
on my cracked dry lips.

Remember the joy
of yesterday.

The cloudy sky
will open up again.

Rowdy noises from the beach
will start again soon.

The restlessness
will come to an end.

A beautiful warship
will sail this water
with pride soon.

Past memories blows,
Like nature breeze.

A faceless...
Fast paced walk,
Follows the shadow,
With a metre spacing .

Breath so shallow.
Each step follows
the beat of a lonely heart.

Far away the feet strive,
Escaping dreams ,
of bygone days.

Faster, faster
the feet go.
Forgetting things
you will not want to know.

Heart beating
precautious deep inside.
Finding a place to hide.

Passed by the construction site,
Quiet and empty of life.

Peace be with us.
Time to heal and go slow.
Time to back to my shell again.
