flute <br />new year tune <br />ambition <br />fills the air <br />bamboo <br />inches through ground <br />cries of children <br />from the upper strings <br />of the heart <br />an older me <br />keeps <br />excitements <br />beneath smiles <br />prayers fill <br />so many lapses <br />of the day <br />chimes of clock <br />hurry up <br />my heartbeat <br />as if blessings <br />would fly off<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blessings-2/
