The Bearing

Broken small pieces of the picture of his lifescattered all over the journey of his mind

and this lifetime trek would reach the universal endnot the global finish of mankind now and then.

He began his journey with the new ‘World War’ fear,crying to welcome life on fourth day of New Year

that was called by Chinese: ‘Year of the New Snake’,then emigrated to the ‘New World’ with new faith.

And the water lilies kept flowing downstreamalong the river with weeping willow’s dream,

away from the place that once he grew,to the seaside there the sun rose in the morning dew.

He traveled roughly through three wars in distress,all of them were cruel, he could never forget.

The last torment was not by the enemy’s strengthnor lacking of courage to fight for Motherland.

The ‘Color of time’ went by with grief of yesterday,sweet memories would stay at the end of the day.
