China (part 1)

- 1 - Like a newborn Thrilled to be alive In the land of forgotten ancestors Also bustling with change and transformation Freedom, love, play, adventure Which lie outside those typical hard-played games Of success and failure Of good and bad Of in and out Of heaven and hell. Who knew you city lights would call to me so Like those shining lights of the New England sky? Please tell me about the universality of humankind. Don’t get stuck in the particulars: this is different, that is exotic Neither stay within the limited confines Of your own head. Look. Really look and listen. And don’t be afraid to feel.
