Loop

Along the South Banks,
I sat staring at the river
Shimmering in city lights,
Ferries gliding by,
Occasional airplanes in the sunset sky
With a half-baked moon,
All reflections are converging into me.

Amongst the day dreamers
And romantic humans,
I sat stuck to the wet grass,
Flattened but relaxed,
With my honeydew bubble tea,
Listening to Satur's "Yellow Leaf" and some piano tunes.

As I stared at the tiny river waves,
I searched for some peace,
And I found it everywhere,
So I write "Along the South Banks............"
