Esplanade, Singapore

So swiftly now, so much of change; Time yields endow, time feels so strange. So quickly here, so change feels strange; The times brought cheer, the feel of change. It seems a flash, a brilliant blur; The spiral dash, an affluent spur. The new shapes bare the facelift here; A bright fringe wears a surreal cheer. First the world view, then the climax; Watch plays on cue, let style attract. Let charm and grace show off finesse; Cash funds this place with stylish bash. Two fruity domes speak of culture; Cues can find home in proud gestures. This Esplanade like durian thorns Wears a facade to greet new haunts. Once upon then, the sea felt near; Now we know when aplomb can steer. Age catches up to one and all; An empty cup fills sad recall. Days and nights here are like elsewhere; Live for good cheer, live here or there. So much of change can feel crazy; Accept the strange, work out easy. So much of thought can dye meaning; Our ample lots drive our shoutings. So here we meet at life's crossroads; We laugh and greet despite harsh loads. Leon Enriquez 08 December 2014 Singapore
