酷我-北美枫

[anna]

The Culture Division of Mississauga has received a request for me to do a reading at the Para-Pan Am Torch Relay event on Wednesday August 5th at Lakeside Park. So I wrote a new poem for the event: Light Through Fog. Feel free to join us on August 5. See you there.

Some say
The world is ruled by money…
See –
shadows after gold diggers,
smog puffing from forests of factories,
tricks behind stock screens…
all scream:
Show the money!

But here in this fair sport world,
the evil games are doomed not to win,
the graceful ones proceed to succeed.

Here athletes hold spirits high with pride!
Here athletes take the torch to the sky!
Each effort expresses discipline.
Each bead of sweat shows diligence.
Each struggle strives for excellence.
Each exertion speaks collaboration.

We see light through fog and humanity glow.
We hear laughter loud and cheers everywhere.
Let us carry the light for great strength.
Let us spread the spirits for fairness.torch

Go! Athletes, Go!
See the light breaking through!
Go! Athletes, Go!
See the torch flaming ahead!
