Alvor Sunset by Blazko http://blazko.deviantart.com/ |
In the horizon of a clear night
sky, Jakarta
from afar glows like a mythical pot of gold.
Like a fabulous treasure defended
and paraded by malignant spirits, only that there rarely is honest-to-goodness
treasure there, and strange and ill-formed beings are more common.
Far away in a poor dark hamlet,
restive hearts can see the golden glow goading them of an otherwise life. Where
do their desires lie, when they see such a tempting sight? What are they
thinking, when this land-locked Lorelei beckons?
