I was walking at the Pier There is an old woman She always sits at the corner Keeping away from the crowd With the Sunflower on her head
She stares at the direction of deep ocean at far away Not even a blink In the Sunset Sunshine gently touching her from one side to the other The shadow of her wrinkle showed her face As a piece of sculpture Sculptured By time
I said Hello She asked me to sit down The sun is going down We start to talk Feels as we know each other forever
She lost her husband during the Korean War Her grandson is on duty overseas now "I am waiting for him to come back home" She said
The Sun is gone The crowd at Pier Fade into the background The ocean in the darkness As black ink Instead of the color of golden sunshine It stays away But turns to be a monster near beach Sea waves as his thousand fingers Scratching the beach The sound Again and again As he will never let it go
Cold wind blowing my leg "The sun is gone" "I feel sad somehow" I said "Don't be" She said "There is just another Sunrise on the other side of the earth" To warm up another land of God To light up millions of souls "The orient---Your hometown" She said
Yes, my hometown The place where called home The place where she lost her husband The place we were friends and Enemy
I thought I saw a broken heart at the pier But I just saw A woman with Sunflower on her head
There is a black cat with only half of his tail left near my new apartment walking around the neighborhood
I saw him only twice and one time The Neighbors' kids threw an empty can at him when he was next to the wall by the parking lot enjoying Sunshine and cleaning his face with his claw
The two kids bet on how far he could jump with only half of his tail "Half a foot" "No, one foot" They threw the empty can Before I yelled to them to stop He already ran away As fast as any other cat With half of his tail
Oh, poor baby cat What happened to you? Who did that?
Sometimes I stand next to my window holding up the curtain trying to find out where he is But I never find him
He is like a ninja always hidden somewhere "Good Job, That's probably the best way to protect himself," I said to myself
One day I brought a can of pet food put it under the wall far away from the gate at the parking lot a very quiet spot with nobody around
I hid in my car that is so old and almost broken that even when I stayed low and kept still The seat still made noises "What a boneshaker!" I complained to myself
Wait Now the cat is coming out from nowhere Starting to check out the food can One second He is eating! I am so happy
I opened my car door carefully But he still heard me He stopped I freeze there He stared at me I am looking at him
The world stopped in one second and He lowered his head and kept eating I moved forward closer to him He ate voraciously without taking a breath Like me eating Thanksgiving turkey every year
I get a little bit closer and try to pat him Suddenly He arched his back and His hair stood up There was even some food still on his whiskers But I can clearly hear He is saying "Get Lost!"
周日下午慵懒的阳光懒懒地洒在大理石地板上 The sunshine sprinkling around on the marble floor 耀眼的反光下你闲散地玩弄着头发 You are playing your hair with your fingers 白光映衬着你 The white reflecting light shows on your chin 浅绿如初夏的叶混杂着蔚蓝如深海的眼神 Your eyes with green as leaf in the early summer and blue as deep as the ocean 你望着我淡淡一笑 You look at me back 掳走了我所有注意 Got all my attention 你懒懒地伸着腰 Stretching yourself 好似小猫 As a cat 在午后的慵懒 Laying under the sunshine in the afternoon 盘起的金色长发缓缓洒下 The falling of your hair 落到你的腰际 Drop down until your waist 好像日落的夕阳洒满大地 As golden sunset covering the earth 咕咕地 Suddenly 谁的肚子叫了 Someone's belly growling “我饿了”你说 "I am hungry" you said 周日下午的爱情 Love in the Sunday afternoon

when you are singing like angel is speaking to my heart as voice from the heaven take me to your kingdom
when you are singing like a ray of sunshine come down to me from the sky clear out the dark clouds over my head as a ride of joy
when you are singing like the door opened of a sealed freezed house in the South Pole as my heart you opened all windows in the Sunday afternoon
when you are singing like Cupid is telling to me soft but strong too "if you love her then let her go" even though I never could do so
when you are singing Hannah you are the most wonderful unexpected pleasantly surprised in my life my heart full of hate because what I have been go through in my life before but only one smile from you it clear out all my anger and sadness
so please allow me to say let me stay on your stage as whatever role you want me to play in this theater called life I just want to sit there quietly and listen to you when you're singing a song watch you until we both get old and could't walk anymore to put a cover to warm your knee when you need when you are singing a song
