Wandering Jasmine Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Wandering Jasmine

The mental climate is terrible
as a poet, this is not the right state,
but terrible
closest to this maddening crowd
we are now delayed, as it turns out

I often wander in my own environment
then my affairs will be tied faster
I feel safe because God is my true companion
I feel very rich that He sends me blessings every day

so I sway
without delay,
I sing and dance
while I have maintenance

Climbing stairs is not the best option
just swim with fresh foam in the face
approaching the vast open valley
your beautiful creature is still in rally
there
but don't ask me how?
you look very calm and rested
but your mind is unconsciously traveling there somewhere

I still roam this immense land
through the greenest valleys of the merry landman
I continue with my wandering
with pleasure
deep inside there is greatest joy
when I look up I can do magic now
and much more
it's thanks to the Lord
my and your Lord
Thank You, Lord You are the Greatest
The Almighty
I've loved you for ages
with you by my side
I'm always safe at each tide
Amen
