Night Journey

Look before

So as to look after

Live many years

Bar one hereafter

Hindsight lends me

Eyes into foresight

Such was my journey

Through the long night;

Now caught between

Bright waves of wisdom

Love’s inextricable

Idiom

It gave me care

That I may take it

Given many a chance

To make it

Lessons burnt

Into my flesh yet earned

Till the day my soul

Is healed and learnt

Not for relief

From scars now at peace

But of sweet contentment

And release.

Cheung-Ling Wong
