A silent backwater
Taking a break
Life ebbs and flows
Just like the water
The Mekong yields sustenance
Takes away stress, for now
Not long ago, the Khmer Rouge
Caused tsunami’s of violence
As Indo-Chine fractured
The eye of a storm
Which has now moved to the middle-east
The boat lady relaxes
Until the next tide
Tonie Sap Lake, Mekong Delta, Cambodia
