I've has just enough time to... not wait for the dragon boat
Still waiting for the dragon boat to come to shore in the Jade Emperor Temple, Surabaya, Indonesia
I waited
For the
Dragon Boat to come
And take
me away
But I
waited too long
Under
the motionless cloud
And
faded rainbow
The
Dragon Boat never come to my shore
For I
had waited too long…
And I
can do nothing now
But wait
some more
For I
had invested too much of my youth
For it
not to come true…
So I
must wait a little longer
And can
do nothing but wait
For the
Dragon boat
To come
to my shore
I wandered into this old Jade Emperor Chinese temple
in my visit to the China town of Surabaya, Indonesia. In the upstairs balcony,
I discovered an old faded but beautiful relief wall painting in cheerful
blue. In it under was a vast sea and a dragon boat coming to shore under a
rainbow, cloud and the palace of heaven. A man was sitting forlornly on a long wooden
bench in front of the faded scene. I don’t know but to me it was a very
poignant scene of time losing its purpose.
To take me to the Valley of Peach Blossom
