Composed upon St John’s Cathedral, Hong Kong 2022
In the early morning
While the city is still sleeping
Several souls wake up to the ancient bell
striking in the heart of Central district
Taking pilgrim’s steps ascending the narrow pathway
to the century old gothic church
fearfully approaching the majestic throne
kneeling down to pray for the many blessings
that have bestowed on the island for over a century
nurturing thousands of mighty souls
who safeguard the Pearl of the Orient
which shines through the aisle of history
leaving its people a page of its beauty and glory
now and forever.
