New Tales of the Ming Treasure Voyages
Shanghai Singapore International School, Lee, Jina - 16
Spreading a sail and sparkling
confidence at the same time for new journey
with the gratitude and pray for
god of vast sea
with hoping no danger, no monsters, no quarrel
during the extremely long time.
With elderly of experience,
young of new method of new generation
with the last eye contact to
a family with hard acceptation
with the last promise of silence
for myself for a safe
The first day of peace
enough silence from the sea
which made me have a sweet nap for a while
sound of laughter spreading out from the boat
boasting our endless peace to the sea creatures
to the god.
Louder louder of laughing
which awoke the monsters in the ocean depths
which awoke the god from the nap
the god of sea, the god of wind
with enough anger to raise a powerful storm
which enough to make us be flurried.
Swooping wet tail and scales
the boat which seemed to be wrecked
the mixture of sweat and a tear for a hope, life.
With a children’s picture in inner pocket
in my heart, in my brain for
last memory before death.
With peace again,
pray and thank for god who made storm
without mental, without talking
by looking the far horizon
where the fish had gone.
Fear is in heart until find out how tired they were.
The day with beautiful sunset
which made me expect for the new day.
The real treasure with shining gloss
which made me be deeply moved for the new life.
Hoping the journey as the finale
knowing the journey will continue.
