On Waiting

Still must I wait?
Yet passes time
But patience have I
Linger will I
Till the time
When they declare my fate.

How much more
Must I endure?
The treachery of waiting here
Is worse I fear
Than all my fears
Of that fate I’m waiting for.

Time ticks by
My life is spending
As this moment
Wanes unending
Happiness may never be
While in this sea of misery
Composed of endless waiting.

None talk, none speak
Our thoughts are weak
Our heads are cluttered
With the dreams
Of endless things
Best left unuttered
Thus in silence we await.

Wait, await!
Oh stress innate
On time or late
What is the date
Shadows lengthen
Patience strengthens
And yet my life
Goes on in strife
As evermore I await.

Has end begun?
Has patience won?
Or am I maintenanced
By complacence
Into thinking life goes on
Yet deep inside
I know that I
Will ever more await.

China Town

We spent Saturday in China town with Ash's cousin, Charles (Chas). The song we wrote afterwards tells all about it:

Want some dim sum
Have some dim sum
Mine some dim sum
Yours some dim sum
Eat some dim sum
Yum some dim sum
With Chas
Oh yeah

Oh, and besides dim sum we ate chiken feet, and besides eating chicken feet we saw Confucious and walked a street that turns 90 degrees, built that way to impede the passage of straight flying ghosts. And we went into a Budhist temple and saw a two story tall Buddah. I can't be too explicit in describing it, but it was interesting.
Sorry I didn't get more pictures.
