In the dark

Listen ……..
with little puffs
like a departing train,
the wind chases away the moon
tonight.

Softly ………
like wisps of mist
lingering in the hills
memories of you inundate
my mind
and touch me affectionately
like you did in those days
so long ago;
I weep.

Bygones!
Bygones should remain as bygones,
but the heavy silence
allows them in ………
till dawn.

Hazy Morning

This picture was taken about a week ago at a village called Aulong located at the outskirts of Taiping. We were heading there for breakfast and to do a little marketing. Every year during the hot and dry season, the farmers in Sumatra set fire to the jungles there so that they can plant their crops after that. Unfortunately, the smoke from these fires is blown over to our country.
