The Symphony of Gobi Desert
King’s College, Cheung Yiu Ting, Poetry: Group 4
I was woken up by The Symphony of Gobi Desert
To the world of music
I saw a Mongolian horse
Short but strong
They once were ferce in old battles
But now treading quietly on the sand
The sand welcomed me
What a place to be
Dancing of the sand
Singing, booming like a band
The wind greeted me
What a place to be
Blowing of the wind
Swaying and swifting as I roved
Not far away there was a Nomadic herder
Shouting at a goat
Lassoed and dragged away
Neahing and bleating behind
A sandstorm came in a sudden
Why did it happen?
Roaring, howling fercely
Bring me down onto the sand!
The storm passed away
Everything came back to normal
As I stood up, I said to myself
What a place to be!
Bring me peace and horror
It is The Symphony of Gobi Desert
