John Tiong Chunghoo


dusk
the sea rushes to me
a van gogh


Beach sand swirls,
reveals broken glittering shells
i pray that god would send
the grace, to help me pick up
the pieces of my life


The Sea

The sea blown by the winds
A million lights glinting under the sun
Charting out a course for my mind
Each luminous line entering my mind
Helping clear my muddled thoughts
Lessening the pressure of thinking
Slowly, slowly, the hypnotic lines
Dance and glint in increasing
Intensity towards dusk
Affording a mental exercise
Better than meditation and jogging
I then feel the sea taking up my
Thoughts and feelings sending them
To yonder lands where there are friends
