john tiong chunghoo Poems

embun di terangi san suria
tumbuhan tunduk ke arah cahaya
suasana aman damai dan ceria
serumput sepokok ilham cahaya
...

benih di usik ayer dan cahaya
satu hari dua hari tumbuh berdiri
anak di didik cara hidup bahagia
satu hari nanti pandai berdikari
...

laut di Manukan sebotol dakwat biru
gelombang biru gelap di ambang seni
cendekiawan yang sana jangan lupa buru
bimbing kita ke lautan minda berisi
...

Qunianga
we drive from
lake to lake
...

Grand-Bassam - we piece
together an old story
in black and white
...

minaret of jam - between
the intricate carvings
my awe
...

Bamiyan Valley
the buddha statues
that shake the world
...

butrint
the city preserved
- in mud
...

Divine Love is the vastness of sky
and we are, all the stars, moon, planets
big and small, playing out our part
some in full splendour, others spiralling away
...

besarnya sungei sungei sarawak
bawa kita ke olympik menang menyelam
besar nya impian pemuda pemudi sarawak
untuk menang sanggup latih siang dan malam
...
