China Glimpses
We sojourn here
For a brief while,
Tour brings fond cheer,
Style picture smiles.
On ancient streets
River town stroll;
Old times now greet,
Scenic boat toll.
By this curved bridge
An old-time feel,
Touch of sad ridge,
Nostalgia steals.
Town folks stare blank
As tourists peek,
From river banks,
Photos now tweak.
Strange feelings bring
Unease not glad,
Heavy thoughts fling,
A tinge most sad.
Briefly we pass
Lone ships moving,
Grief cracks odd glass,
Old times touching.
