Sipping champagne from a white paper cup

Eating some Chut from a shell that was cut

Watching the sunset of orange, blue and red

I’ll remember this day until I am dead

On a wooden bench that was meant for a park

One of many on this beach that was painted so dark

I watched the waves break, their fury that calls

The river that fed them made sublime golden walls

A time in my life when I traveled the world

This Miri of wonder, a dream that unfurled

I felt the warm breeze as it blanketed me

While sitting and watching the South China Sea
