Why trouble the calm waters?
The placid stream flowed on without a ripple/ quasi transparent glass that mirrors
Watch/ your step
It may not withstand disturbance
Set a foot in/ the supernatant churns and lingers
God knows when it will return
—————————————————
An eerie music/ the cacophony of alien feathered beings/ reverberated the silent woods
The holy tranquility was sliced/ into pieces/
by the razor of their flights/ (and bore unrest)
—————————————————-
They are falling/the leaves/ still in their greens
Without the contentment of autumn/ sigh upon what they had yet to live
Turned yellow before they are reddened
Returned to the roots before attaching to the treetop sunshine
But then/ it still would shine and so should rain
Seasons coming back again/ and again
Stronger than ever/ live out the lives that had yet to live

Where’s that:
The forest in my heart, probably somewhere that has the Malaysia tropical rainforest and the Scottish evergreen woods, both of which I have loved so much.
Where did I compose this:
The local library of Lu Ju Shian (the one that’s beside Nankan high school), where free air conditioning system is provided.
I was reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame, by Victor Hugo, The Modern Library.
‘been hoping to go through this masterpiece ever since 2007.
