green tea
Its time to bring winter to a close.
It has ended gracefully and spring begins along with the riot
of fresh green buds. I began winter just few months ago in
a tram number 16 up to the city, full of uncertainties.
I end it here in the kitchen, with cheerios in my mouth and
a toaster standing nearby. Its raining outside.
Must be a little goodbye drizzle.
Ive never missed the sun before I met winter.
Not this much. I used to ask You to turn it dimmer so I could
walk freely under. Its the Asian in me. And as much as I love
the orange maroon brown alliance in autumn, or take pleasure
in pumpkin soup, beef gravy and warm double blankets
in winter, I welcome September in glee and looking up to the sky.
Reminded how colors are extraordinary.
That the trees and flowers and grass didnt die when
they claimed so. They just took their time to be appreciated again.
Nature is terribly humble in dealing with my ignorance.
Many things are still full of uncertainties since winter.
Havent shifted much less. But a little bit of sadness is a very
healthy thing, or so Ive learnt. Maybe I want to take time too,
just to appreciate things more.
but hey dearest spring
tell the world Im still up for living
although sometimes I do absolutely nothing
but eating green tea ice cream in your evening
