The hustle world sometimes falls into silence.
I feel the coldness amid the busy days and nights.
A fleeting moment, gone in a blink.
Not have yet the time to truly live.
Meeting you, perhaps is the destiny of God.
Translation of lyrics from the song, The Water in the Dessert
From the album The Dreamer by Khalil Fong
How do we deal with our wounds when facing illness, passing of our loved one, battles of everyday living? The passing of singer and composer Khalil Fong and actress Barbie Hsu must have rung a bell in each of our heart. Why is life so fragile?
Poetry writing is a way for self-healing. It enables us to let go of our worries and reveal our deepest sorrow. The recurring theme in the poem unveil our unsounded worries and fear. In this special session, we invited three poets to read and share their journey of healing in writing poetry.
