Meander Series #10: Water Beasts
Friday, July 10, 2020
The time you will get a free poem and a scribble of when I was cold to the bones on the rare occasion I was on a mountain.
Hiya friends, how's the pandemic treating you there?
It's been improving quite a bit here in Malaysia if stats are to be believed. In the meantime, I'm back with another episode of the Meander Series. Are you ready?
I am ready!
So, let's!
1. Cold Highlands
Here I am in a cute room on the Highlands. It's visually cute but cold and annoyingly damp. Alas, it's a room I get to keep for myself, hopefully for a quick night before we head on to a sunny place, please. I am exhausted but this coldness is not letting me fall asleep. It's the wrong temperature for my very tropical body. Never mind, I am grateful that we have finally settled into our temporary accommodation. I miss my cats. I want to turn on the hair dryer for some warmth but then think perhaps, I should let my body acclimatize. Coming here reminds me why the Highlands and I are far from an item. There's a sound coming from a construction site right now. I am sensing that it is best to stay awake whilst on relaxed mode. Which I am currently doing/being now. Thank you Life for being here with me. There's a window I initially wanted to crack open but it is freezing outside. I decide to let my own internal body temperature raise the room's temperature. I think I'm having bouts of home sickness now. The last time I slept away from my own bed was a while ago. That's a long time. I miss my own bed. I just need to type it out there because that's how I feel, aside from this cold. It's just hanging over me now. I have to change my pants. Great.
2. Poem title: Explorer
Wide open roads
Free greenery
Flapping in the
Kisses of the breeze
Boundless mother lands
Grounded hens
Anchored boatmen
At ease
In communion
With water beasts
Angsty angel winds
Beaten paths
Hidden terrains
Guardian spirits
Night misfits
Rising sun
Darkening dusk
Blinding lights
Blackest corners
Sweet home
Nestled near
Our common lair
Within us
Everywhere
