Coloane Typhoon

There is no more time
Death knocks at my door
Change will come of a sudden
Like a hurricane through my window

  2. I have had a couple of interesting responses to this poem. I changed the title from 'Death' to 'Coloane Typhoon', because I wrote it during a typhoon in Coloane. I love the wind, an all-embracing thing, sometimes subtle, sometimes frightening, and to some it even seems wrathful, but in its grandeur, it is beautiful. At some moments - the touch of the wind, the setting of the sun, the birth of a child - time stops.
