I've had just enough time to... see the rain trees saved
Taken of the Taiping Lake Garden, the most beautiful park in Malaysia
The rain
trees lined the serene shore
Dipping
its branches into the forbidden lake
Rippling
the surface stirred by wayward winds
Sending
a gentle cascade of dropping leaves
On wet
grasses and empty benches
Providing
solace to aching hearts and aching feet
Slowing
down time to a slow crawl
Witnessed
by the distant hills and century trees
Through
the veils of morning mists and driving rain
A scene
that soothes the heart with a gift of memory
That may
not last as long as the trees
Only just
as long as we live…
And they
want to set up kiosks in this sacred land
To sell snacks and souvenirs!
