A Charming Hong Kong‘s Harbor
- The Poetic Ode to the Wonders of the Everyday

Living among precious people,
I am surrounded,
By life's simple treasures,
The sun is strong,
Its warmth embracing,
As water waves ebb and flow;
__
White clouds float overhead,
Casting soft shadows,
On the earth below,
I step onto the lush,
Verdant grass,
Feeling the clean,
Black soil beneath my feet;
__
High splashes of soil,
Leap into the air,
As I walk this path,
Placing one step after another,
The impact sends a slap,
Against my cheek,
Touching reminds me,
The vibrant world around me;
__
Living among precious people,
I am humbled,
By the beauty that abounds,
Humans are as happy,
As the thriving plants,
Their smiles as radiant,
As the sun's golden rays;
__
Love, like the rain,
Falls softly and tenderly,
Nourish people's souls,
In this serene setting,
I found myself in,
A state of pure satisfaction;
__
The air is crisp and clean,
Filling my lungs,
As I breathe deeply,
My senses awakened,
Bird songs echoed in woods,
A melodic symphony,
Fills me with joy;
__
I reach down,
Dirt sifted through my fingers,
Marveling at its rich,
Earthy texture,
This is the foundation,
Upon which all life is built,
A testament to the resilience,
And regeneration of nature;
__
The children's laughter rang,
Pure and infectious voices,
Lifts my spirits,
I watch as they run and play,
Carefree and full of wonder,
Remind simple happiness,
That often go unnoticed;
__
In the distance,
A gentle stream babbles,
It whispers softly,
A soothing lullaby for the senses,
I sat on a weathered rock,
Allowing my thoughts to drift,
My mind to quiet;
__
On this quiet oasis,
Time seems to be slowing down,
Immersed in precious people,
Their kindness,
Their compassion,
Their zest for life,
Nourishes my soul,
My own spirit;
__
I have a sense of belonging,
A real feeling of home,
Nature and humanity,
Meet in the sacred space,
The sun dips lower in the sky,
Painting the clouds in hues of gold,
I know I'm here,
Where I should be;
__
Living among precious people,
Think of the beauty in simplicity,
Find happiness in tiny moments,
Can be established with others,
Deep connection;
__
As the day draws to a close,
I rise from my perch,
Unwilling to leave this harbor,
A charming harbor of Hong Kong,
Peaceful and quiet,
I will carry the essence of this place,
A touchstone to which I can return,
Time and time again;
__
In the company of precious people,
I have found a sanctuary,
A respite from the chaos of the world,
I am free to be my truest self,
To revel in the wonder of life,
To let my spirit soar,
Unencumbered and renewed.
