I choose where I go, and enjoy what I choose. ðŸ¤
BY THE THU BON RIVER, HOI AN…
The wind, as if the distant jungle’s hot breath, sweeps across, sapping all energy, only to be tamed by the cooling, licking waves of the gentle Thu Bon River, and then swirls up between the moored timber boats to soothingly caress the weary wanderer’s face…

She came down to the ocean
She came down to the ocean; she came down to the sea
She came down to the ocean to be with me.
In the cool sea spray
Under the warm, shady tea tree
Salty breeze caressing sand dunes
Strolling the seashore with me.
She came down to the ocean; she came down to the sea
She came down to the ocean to be with me.
Away from the city
The human debris
Hi-rise towers and cold shadows
Nasty drugs, unfair fees.
She came down to the ocean; she came down to the sea
Now smiling and content
Under the Sun, her and me.
