Sonya Ki Tomlinson

Feng Shui-ed

At an airport garden in Hong Kong
I sit and refresh my traveling spirit
amidst an effusion of lucky bamboo
Crepe white and fuchsia orchids
coyly fan their geisha faces
 
The Morning Sun, at first a pale opal ember
climbing over slumbering, stone-washed
mountains
 
Roars into brilliance
like a golden Peacock Dragon
strutting through China blue skies
 
I smile inwardly....
let the moment sweep me off my feet
Breathe in......
colors, sights, sounds
gifts....fullness
