Evergreen Echoes

Last year's glory

Hong Kong's coastal vines

Defying winter's harshness

green as ever they shine

But my eyes, weary

have lost their luster

As June twilight's golden glow

whispers gently to stir

~~

Have you ever sensed

that bygone year

Caught the fragrance of kapok

in Hong Kong's air?

Spinning on the mast

seven hues ignite

The emerald sea

a sail's silhouette in flight

~~

Dreams of many souls

lost in ocean's tide

Unnoticed, like whispers carried

by the sea's wide

But within my heart

the sea's secrets reside

A world unseen

where depths and wonders hide

~~

The morning glory's tenacity

a lesson profound

To weather storms, yet

in verdant beauty be crowned

As summer bites

my spirit yearns to find

The resilience of those vines

a faith enshrined

~~

Oh, let the winds of change

caress my face

Awaken dormant senses

grant me solace and grace

For in Hong Kong's embrace

a story unfolds

Of dreams untold

and mysteries yet to behold

~~

And though my eyes may fade

the memories abide

Of kapok's fragrance

the ocean's timeless pride

In the green sea's expanse

where dreams collide

The waves know my heart

where solace does reside
