Misty Echoes

Cicadas celebrate Wet Monday evening; Frogs for company ~~~~~~~~~ Sun falls down Evening supplication; Sleepy earthlings rest ~~~~~~~~~ Moody intersection Traffic congestion; Decorative city lights ~~~~~~~~~ Speak in silence Night owl hoots; Silent night ~~~~~~~~~ Notice the stillness Greeting with calm; Voice beyond voice ~~~~~~~~~ Walking by old house Collective memory tints; Melancholic shades ~~~~~~~~~ Once again dawn hurls Birdsong melody; Bay window serenade ~~~~~~~~~ Gifts and presents Magnificent food spread; Come Lord Jesus ~~~~~~~~~ Sea of faces Hungry expectations; Festive moods ~~~~~~~~~ Balcony view City lights glimmer; Night sweeps away ~~~~~~~~~ Once again dusk Ushers restive sighs; Wine and good music ~~~~~~~~~ Misty rain dance Children exploring wetness; Laughter echoes ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 16 December 2014 Singapore
