Evening at Tanah Merah

Subtle winds warn the fronds

Of palms leaning tireless and mute

On the edge of a weathered path

Beware! A tempest threatens to unfold

One dares not admit defeat

There will be no retreat from the blanketing

Sunset hush

One moseys on – a mere gentle stroll

Brows are mopped

Sweaty whispers endure

Conversations refuse to grow old

As a brief pause ensues to behold the

Gradients of a storm foretold
