A Dedication Poem by Meng Lim Dr

Inspired by a painting entitled A FARAWAY PLACE by the renowned artist Allison Mille-Constantino to whom this poem is dedicated:


Where the waves embrace the rocks
under the benign daily sky
nature a melodic sings in mirth
as the gentle breezes drift by.

Every sea has its story to tell
it knows our every human joy and pain
of love, of hopes and of dreams that perish
of loss that will never be regained.

Artists and poets they bring to life
every human pulse and endeavour
which will vibrate through the veins of time
to create a world of grandeur and splendour.

When by the faraway shore we walk alone
a silent conversation we'll have with the sea
and be made conscious of its eternal majesty
while we'll each come closer to our mortality
