China Blue

Rocks, surrounded by water
Chinese gardens
Circles of islands
The rippled hush
Of water embracing your boat

In these rare moments
Will you seek my face
In mirrored lakes

The rush of exquisite birds
Lifting up from the water
Spreading their wings

For a moment, will you rest your camera
Slide your fingers in the foreign lake
Almost touching my lips

Will you find yourself smiling, a thousand smiles
Lean back
In the China Blue
To
Become one?
