Random Thoughts

My mind always wonders but never far away from the reality. I would have wondered what's going on across the pond, were standing at the Land's End View Point, England, and Hong Kong at the White Sand Bay, Taiwan. By Yiyan Han (c), 2020-10-05 (last minor modification 2020-11-04)

You are walking towards the sea
As if you don't want others to read
Your “poetry and the distance”
What could be in your mind?
Keep going and be swallowed in the sea
Or stand there and look into afar
The fishing lights on the opposite shore
Too long apart

Hiya, Marion! I wrote the original Chinese poem more than one year ago, and my mind was in Hong Kong where people are still crying for freedom to day . My thought is something like - what kind of world we want to live. Many thanks.
