john tiong chunghoo - Blessings

flute
new year tune
ambition
fills the air
bamboo
inches through ground
cries of children
from the upper strings
of the heart
an older me
keeps
excitements
beneath smiles
prayers fill
so many lapses
of the day
chimes of clock
hurry up
my heartbeat
as if blessings
would fly off
