My
Summer of Asia
This
midnight sidewalk
Below
my feet
Through
twisted cable
At
first sight we’d meet
Faux
shower rain
Through
the mist in the air
And
as if by magic
You
were standing there
That
very night
Another
such man
My
summer of Asia
How
it all began
A
beautiful moment
Sparkling
and bright
Shiny
as that star
That
I see here tonight
Then
through foreign eyes
That
I just had to meet
Locking
with mine
On
this wet city street
Waiting
so long
Now
doesn’t seem so absurd
Our
picture now taken
Worth
a thousand words
Then
onto Chinatown
Where
I needed to be
The
little China doll
Took
a picture of me
Now
this picture I have
I
have so many more
It
pleases me so
As
I walk out her door
So
many native leaves
Branched
through my memory
Continue
to grow
Beyond
my Bonsai tree
Met
so many races
On
such long summer nights
My
summer of Asia
Such
wonderful sights
Serendipity
then Karma
Feels
just like Déjà vu
Viewing
art from a painter
Who
is Korean too
My
talented Chinese friend
Came
back to me
My
summer of Asia
Is
how it should be
The
lessons I’ve learned
Let
life take shape
Those
beautiful faces
I
cannot escape
That
moment in time
Seems
so far away
Though
I am not in Asia
But
it’s all good Feng Shui
I’ll
remember those moments
So
precious and few
I’ll
never forget the second
That
I had with you
I
miss the calling and longing
You
belonging right on cue
My
summer of Asia
I
miss you too
