The Caterpillar or the Leaves

I've had just enough time...   to harvest a butterfly

The caterpillar hiding under a branch...

Two pots of ailing

Flowering plants

Nursed back to health.

New leaves from

Barren branches

Pleased me.

Shocked me

To see leaves of

One stripped bare.

The next day, the

Rest disappeared.

The culprit was found

Fat under a branch

Shyly hiding from

The sun, leaving me

To decide the fate of

The caterpillar

Or the leaves

My prosperity flowers whose leaves were devoured.
Can you see where the caterpillar is hiding?

I wanted the flowers

Of the plants nursed

To health, but strange

Are the fruits of the

Tree one sowed

I harvest a butterfly

Instead.

What would you choose?
The leaves or the caterpillar or...

The Girl In The Middle Of The Road

I've has just enough time to...   see that girl in the middle of the road

Taken of the girl in the middle of the road on the way to Anyang, China

On a hot summer’s day

In the middle of the road

Large vehicles churning dusts

And belching smokes

There she stood

Last night was tough

Sleep still in her eyes

She let out a mighty yawn

Sucking in hot air and dust

Eyes starting to smart

Why does she do what she does?

Is it by choice she stays in the middle of the road

Surrounded by rushing vehicles and dirty smokes?

Hey, don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on

Just do your best, do everything you can

And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say

It just takes some time 

Little girl you're in the middle of the ride 

Everything, everything will be just fine 

Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Before The Red Gate.

I've have had just enough time to...   pause at The Red Gate.

Taken of myself by myself wearing a T-shirt bought from Bangkok.

Before the Red Gate,

Only one choice to be made.

Enter or escape.
