Shanghai River Mouth
at the break of dawn
i rise to see
hundreds gather
for the sun greeting ceremony
on the river banks
silent humans move as one
as they slowly bend and bow to accept
the life they have lived till now
on the misty Shanghai Bund
i watch as graceful tears form
in the corner of an old woman's life
as she moves in harmony and lay down past strife
as the golden sun chases behind the river boats
i slip my sorrows gently and watch them sink in water deep below
and in that moment the hundreds stop to move
and i watch a magic pearl of promise floating by
