L'airone- a visual poem

天地一沙鷗

Jonathan livingston Seagull

風雲未見首

wind and clouds meet, the highest realm not reached

天地一沙鷗

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

風雲再見愁

wind and clouds meet, melancholy resurfaces

龍井普洱有

plenty of longjing and pu'erh tea

懷我斷腸愁

embracing my once hurt feelings

願天作 雲裏夢

may the sky bestow upon me the dream of high

與沙鷗 結伴

So the waterbirds and I become friends

願天作 還我願

May the sky grant my wish

變沙鷗 飛翔

:becoming the waterbirds and fly

( inspired by the waterbirds ( l'airone in Italian ) around Mui Wo, this poem was composed to recall the beautiful story of Jonathan Livingston Segull by Richard Bach as well as the interesting story of So Dong Po who, while in exile, has often thought of becoming the waterbirds ...)

digital painting/ video were done on location, near Mui Wo
