The Craft


The Craft in the sky
So frail !
The flight of birds
So swift !
Tells the tale
Of creation and motion.

The wisdom of man
How fleeting !
The design of God
How unknown !
Need one ponder
What would prevail.

The matters of heart
An enigma !
The beauty of nature
An ensemble !
Need one fathom
The mystery of life.

The chasms man create
So needless !
The harmony of time
So serene !
Can one wither
From the path of love.

(A tribute to Late Pu Chonsei Kilong, MDC) [Is it mere coincidence that I wrote these lines on the fateful night of your passing]
