The Gift From China

THE GIFT from CHINA In the flickering candle light, a thousand year old legend comes to life, caught in my sight Beauties You brought for my delight. I watch them radiate as they vibrate, dance before me, bringing thoughts of You, every night into my consciousness, my mindfulness of what was. I see in You, as They, a beauty that would turn the moon, that would silence song birds, would send them into hiding, would take a warring man and make him a lover of peace, the peace that comes out of the love for a beautiful Woman. A Woman, who's inner beauty surpasses anything the eyes see. These are what I have observed in you Xiao Ling! Memories of all we once shared, within me still sing a song of happiness, happiness to me you did bring. B. J. "A" 2 February 6th 2011
