The Golden Gobi
Diocesan Boys’ School Primary Division, Conrad Lam, Poetry: Group 2
The Gobi Desert, vast and majestic.
Infinite, beautiful, bathed in golden light.
The beasts that roam free, wild and domestic
Glorious enough to crush with their might.
A quite unforgiving place in daylight.
But at night the birds soar high in the sky.
They chirp and they dance and sometimes they fight.
Come look, passerby! Look at how they fly!
Sand slips through my fingers. I’m almost there
At the Silk Road, my journey’s end.
My great experience, which I will share
Is the first turn of the road, the first bend.
The biggest joy of all however is-
To experience the journey alone.
