Looking towards Damai Golf and Country Club. Taken from Santubong Suites in the shadow of Mount Santubong. Down beside the South China Sea, not far from Kuching, the capital of the east Malaysian state of Sarawak. Under a gentle Borneo sky.
Damai Moon
Damai moon
always watching.
Every monsoon
always seeing.
Always watching,
thinking deepest.
Always seeing
shrinking forest.
Thinking deepest.
every monsoon,
shrinking forest.
Damai moon.
