Almost one year passed

the last time I stood in front of the window

to see my Hong Kong

in the evening

in the morning

in the afternoon 

or 

when it rains

the colours change

the atmosphere changes

my heart changes together

with what I perceive

and not perceive

The non perceiving part

belongs

to my childhood dreams

where my Hong Kong

was a forever transformative magician

who worked with me

incessantly

and

every single secret dream 

I had hidden in my little heart

got realised

I see you again

Hong Kong

Again

in the attire of a magician

as my heart

is filled with

delight

hope

and 

the magical past

I saw places I had been to

when I was a little girl

together

with my mother

She must have seen this view

with the magical changes of colours

every night 

before 

she went to bed

and my father

must have stood at the same spot for a long time

through the window

to locate the dragon veins

Where

the past

the present

the future

Can be

linked up

thank you

again

Hong Kong

whenever I see you

I feel alive

again
