A Charming Hong Kong‘s Harbor

- The Poetic Ode to the Wonders of the Everyday

By Dawnxisoul393artPublished 17 days ago 2 min read

Living among precious people,

I am surrounded,

By life's simple treasures,

The sun is strong,

Its warmth embracing,

As water waves ebb and flow;

__

White clouds float overhead,

Casting soft shadows,

On the earth below,

I step onto the lush,

Verdant grass,

Feeling the clean,

Black soil beneath my feet;

__

High splashes of soil,

Leap into the air,

As I walk this path,

Placing one step after another,

The impact sends a slap,

Against my cheek,

Touching reminds me,

The vibrant world around me;

__

Living among precious people,

I am humbled,

By the beauty that abounds,

Humans are as happy,

As the thriving plants,

Their smiles as radiant,

As the sun's golden rays;

__

Love, like the rain,

Falls softly and tenderly,

Nourish people's souls,

In this serene setting,

I found myself in,

A state of pure satisfaction;

__

The air is crisp and clean,

Filling my lungs,

As I breathe deeply,

My senses awakened,

Bird songs echoed in woods,

A melodic symphony,

Fills me with joy;

__

I reach down,

Dirt sifted through my fingers,

Marveling at its rich,

Earthy texture,

This is the foundation,

Upon which all life is built,

A testament to the resilience,

And regeneration of nature;

__

The children's laughter rang,

Pure and infectious voices,

Lifts my spirits,

I watch as they run and play,

Carefree and full of wonder,

Remind simple happiness,

That often go unnoticed;

__

In the distance,

A gentle stream babbles,

It whispers softly,

A soothing lullaby for the senses,

I sat on a weathered rock,

Allowing my thoughts to drift,

My mind to quiet;

__

On this quiet oasis,

Time seems to be slowing down,

Immersed in precious people,

Their kindness,

Their compassion,

Their zest for life,

Nourishes my soul,

My own spirit;

__

I have a sense of belonging,

A real feeling of home,

Nature and humanity,

Meet in the sacred space,

The sun dips lower in the sky,

Painting the clouds in hues of gold,

I know I'm here,

Where I should be;

__

Living among precious people,

Think of the beauty in simplicity,

Find happiness in tiny moments,

Can be established with others,

Deep connection;

__

As the day draws to a close,

I rise from my perch,

Unwilling to leave this harbor,

A charming harbor of Hong Kong,

Peaceful and quiet,

I will carry the essence of this place,

A touchstone to which I can return,

Time and time again;

__

In the company of precious people,

I have found a sanctuary,

A respite from the chaos of the world,

I am free to be my truest self,

To revel in the wonder of life,

To let my spirit soar,

Unencumbered and renewed.
