Chaos and riots
Epidemics and wars
Confusion like tornado hurricane
Confinement, speechless, quiet, calm, rest and unspoken words
However people are drowned in the sounds of nature
Rattle of the rain
Whizzing of the wind
Rustling of the leaves
Wheedling of the birds
Chirping of the crickets
Echoing in the caves, jungles and mountains
Roaring of the sea
Murmuring of the stream
Buzzing of the bees
Hissing of the snake
Quacking of the ducks
Mooing of the cows
Woofing of the dogs
Groaning of the sick
Wheezing of the lungs
Humming of a lullaby
Grumbling of the oldies
Mourning of the dead
Sighing of the loser
Applause of the winner
Any other voices may be drowned
During this political, economic and epidemic crisis
Stay speechless ,calm and cool
As the ushering in of the Chinese New Year
Looking forward to a better year
Only melodies but no blasting or booming
Maybe some sounds buried in the wind
That's the voice of your heart
Stop violation, politicking, trafficking and hegemony
As the world
Is a part of everybody's legacy in a will
Although all along the world is speechless and unspoken

The year was nineteen sixty eight, fifty years have passed since then
When I got to Vietnam, we still were there to win
Then Chinese New Year happened, Tet Offensive was its name
The regulars and Vietcong came in force to change the game
We beat them back but was for naught, back home the people spoke
The unrest and the riots were far from any joke
The people turned against the war, and were marching to the beat
The casualties began to mount, in Vietnam and on our streets
Draft cards and our precious flag were burning every day
Soldiers being spat upon when they came home to stay
Radicals ran rampant. It wasn't looking very good.
MLK and RFK were shot down where they stood
Solidarity Day, in middle June, sought freedom, jobs and peace
Thousands marched on Washington to have discrimination cease
Was also an election year and the parties were beset
The National Guard was called out. How much worse off could we get?
Near the ending of December, Apollo eight was such a boon
It left the earth and returned again, sending three men 'round the moon
I came home in January, returning on a Freedom Jet
I look back and I ask myself, “Have we gotten better yet?”
Chinese New Year
Brings happy cheer;
Noisy loud ease,
All with sure peace.
Moments of joy:
Festive fond ploys;
Meet kin and kind,
Share cheery finds.
Now each to each:
Fine greetings reach;
Love is our wealth,
Hope brings good health.
We gather round
Abundant grounds;
Celebrate grand,
Family and friends.
New attire styles
Beauty and smiles;
Colours of spring,
Bright well- being.
Share festive feast:
Prosper fond bliss;
Humour funds wit,
Everything fits.
Bright blessings fill:
Peace and goodwill;
In truth and light,
Each day moves right.
Spring greetings cheer:
Lunar New Year;
Fire Rooster crows,
Fortune now flows.
Here's to the best
In festive fest;
Spring fills our hearts,
Abundance starts.

CNY 2nd day.
Today, the celebration continues.
People visit their distance relatives,
Their grand parents, aunties, uncles and cousins,
The CNY visiting's routine become formal and practical,
The meals is also less glamorous
There will be lobster, oysters and prawns.
The rotating hexagon box,
Full of sweets and candies are still on.
Chinese people believe,
What happens in the first three days in CNY,
Will repeat throughout the year.
I believe that is purely superstitious.
However I have already experienced two strange incidences.
I wish it will never happen again.
One was, I received no phone calls nor replies to my messages
Which I was asked to do someone favors.
The other related to "My music adventure"
Goodbye 2nd day of CNY.
Struggling to get out of bed.
The mind racing in and out of thoughts of what needs to be looked after,
Animals feeding,
Dogs walking,
Garden pruning,
Pond cleaning,
Hedge cutting,
Wood sawing,
The list goes on…
But my heart feels held still in bed.
God whispering “Stay here with me. There is time to be moved to the list. Now is time to be with me and marinate in my love. Crumble the walls around your heart. Empty the muddy mind of anything that is saying …
Maybe this is it…”
Discomfort.
Restlessness.
Searching for an answer, understanding, googling new moons, Chinese new year, anything to bring relief….
This is not it.
“Be still.
Stay with me my love.
Let my love steady you here.
The love you seek is right here.
Be still.”
Thoughts of unworthiness, guilt, shame, unlovableness continue to try and suck me into their depths…
But they don't stick anymore.
I don’t want to go there anymore.
I don’t know where to go anymore.
And I hear in my heart God calling,
“Be still. Stay with me here. Let me dissolve all untruths. All illusion. It is happening. You are being emptied and filled. “
And so I stay still, in bed,
Unwashed,
Ungroomed,
Uncertain,
Suspended in nothingness,
Hanging in not knowing,
Waiting to be moved,
Feeling the experience of energy radiating in my heart
Praying at this altar, on my knees at the pew of Gods church in my heart.
Empty me. Take it all. Fill me with only your love. I am lost without you.
Forwards, backwards, round and round.
I am tired of the wash cycle.
The ever unfolding of Gods unveiling.
There is nowhere to get to.
There is nowhere to go.
All that I am is right here in my heart.
“Take your hands off the wheel and let go of all structure, routine, rituals and perfomances.
Moment by moment,
Listen.
I am here. I am guiding you into heaven…right here….right now.
Shhhhh….be quiet.
Let our secret anchor and radiate from your heart.”

Chinese New Year Eve.
Tonight, all Chinese and Asian,
Busy to celebrate the lunar new year.
The entire house has been thoroughly clean,
From floors to ceilings,
In the cupboards, and on the benches,
New or freshly pressed blankets, linens, clothes and shoes have been chosen.
All these were performed,
To serve as their wishes have been granted,
To receive good luck for the whole year.
Tonight, all the family members,
Come home from all the globe's corner,
Gathering around to share their reunion dinner,
Happy and luckily to meet each other.
Share the nicest meal ever,
The abalone, fish, and a soupy desert,
Made of flour, round in shape...
Writing up to here,
All of a sudden, I feel unease and lonely.
I have had a lovely family.
Which I have already lost for many years.
Happy new year to all Chinese.

Singapore, CNY Day #1
(Note: Gong-Xi-Fa-Cai is
the traditional greeting for
Chinese New Year — CNY)
Dawn hurls
Eastern sun blooms;
New day beckons
~~~~~~~~~
Morning mist
Hint of rain;
Sunrise supersedes
~~~~~~~~~
Chinese New Year
New zodiac animal;
Lunar spring time
~~~~~~~~~
Bad news looming
Haiku poet dead;
Pain strikes home
~~~~~~~~~
Cryptic headline
Bad news sells well;
Controversial climax
~~~~~~~~~
Bamboo twigs
Twisted spirals;
Prosperous blooms
~~~~~~~~~
New hair salon
Cut, trim and perm;
Designer looks
~~~~~~~~~
Dreamy death
Rest and relax;
Abrupt house call
~~~~~~~~~
Another year
Slips away forlorn;
New rapture arrives
~~~~~~~~~
Floral bouquet
Eleven red roses;
Perfection tells
~~~~~~~~~
Feast on fortune
Million bucks here;
Loose change flows
~~~~~~~~~
On the blind side
New tale prompts;
Scripts show up
~~~~~~~~~
Walkway makeover
New bricks;
Zigzag contours
~~~~~~~~~

My big happy family 1st reunion.
Today, Saturday, is the 4th day of CNY.
It is a bit late to gather and to celebrate.
Can't help it though, since most members,
Worked during the weekdays.
Great grandma, grandmas, mothers and fathers, all
Sisters and brothers, including the in-law.
Aunties and Uncles, nephew, nieces and cousins
And their girl and boy friends.
Grand children and great grandchildren,
One of them was even 'bun in oven'.
So many of them.
Even from Europe joined through Face Time.
All was here to greet each other,
Delivered the best wishes and congratulations.
They dressed in their best outfit.
Red packets, Angpows and Lixi,
Danced across the room to reach the children.
They were happy and could get rich from receiving money.
Most of us sat in the lounge room,
Few worked in the kitchen,
To prepare the special New Year treats,
All the food has no meat.,
Everyone happy to share the munching moment.
Lot of biscuits, lollies and sweets,
Wrapped in well wishes plastic.
They were placed in the hexagon container, disappeared bit by bit.
It was the atmosphere that I enjoyed most, today.
I think it was same for all others,
It was hard to tell when we shall meet again.
Happy Chinese New Year,
Keep on practicing the tradition.
Continue on sharing the happy family reunion.
Good luck and good bye.
