A glimpse from Brooklyn, NY
I walk around
seeing the crowd,
watching the people across the roads
on Wilson, Myrtle, Cypress, Cornelia or Knickerbocker Streets
I find Spanish as the language spoken.
Numerous shops like those of the hairdressers, restaurants,
and other business firms
draw me to get in and have a try;
search for something and take a choice
from all those items seen and displayed.
Like any movements in public… Continue

Verona, Italy
Nothing can dim the glow of my joy
Those meaningful moments which I still recall
I find certain happiness yet silence in time
With occupying thoughts that always cross my mind.
Along the stream of consciousness, there’s a hidden message
I may be attentive, yet time creeps so fast.
There’s difficulty that hampers me though
a busload of burdens that wrap me till night.
On and off, I turn to gaze at these… Continue

Assisi, Italy
A leap across the hill-top,
Is an encounter with God.
Concealed in the language of history
the depth of human religiosity.
It rings true for me though
those stories of Francis of Assisi.
Surely, striking the hallmarks of simplicity
in quietude where I cling to reality.
There is a twofold bridge in it,
That is historical and biblical
That I must continue to face
the conundrum of life… Continue

Wuppertal, Germany
Gloomy, quiet and serene
This is the place where I stay.
People work up to the hilt
following the rhythm of each day.
I see and listen to some of them
with wonder and excitement.
Like any stranger in this place
I get to know where they come from.
Now I realize the richness and mobility
That makes me see and experience
In this beautiful city
Where people come and go.
As an experience… Continue

Florence, Italy
Behind the insatiable appetite of people
who come to see and appreciate
The work of art in human history
lies the images and quality of faith.
This beautiful city of Florence
Where a kind of growth and civilization
Has kept the sentiment of tradition
That carries with it all our admiration.
It is the evidence of achievement
that seems to paint with ever greater meaning
The finest features… Continue
