A world away in...

Still bearing fruits;
Generous delights

Massive tapestry;
Community celebration

Each passing year
Affirms our country;
Diversity in oneness

We celebrate
Our little red dot;
Gratitude remembers

So much to see
So little time;
Familiar complaint

Fireworks display
After The Pledge;
Poignant philosophy

Politics means action
Mere words concede;
Happy results...

how cruel a fate awaits the one

China Travelogue 2Journey starts
Kunming portraits;
Highway song
Here old and new
Merge yet apart;
Vignettes juxtapose
China welcomes

Quaint ways of old
Ancient tales displaced;
Modern day norms intervene
Spectacular vistas
Natural wonders;
Man seems insignificant
Flood tide...
