Homeward waves

Judy Keung - Hong Kong

i embrace the ocean

the ocean embraces me

her breath my heartbeat

i soar like an eagle

searching for a path

in the mist-veiled valleys

A thousand fragments

soar and sink

foamy-white firecrackers

swish and swosh

startling the stillness

slashing at the seething shore

Like a staggering boat

my rudder is tossed

in a storm-struck ocean

the anchor my faith

fingering

for homeward waves

The poem was first penned at Shek O
