Eiko DingNi | |
Tiny body, | |
Oversize luggage, | |
She travels the world, | |
Speaks foreign languages. | |
No more innocence, | |
No more pride, | |
“Where’s your home?” I asked, | |
“In my dream,” she replied. | |
“I used to be young,” | |
she said with a smile. | |
“I was like all other girls, | |
I had my style.” | |
“I dressed up | |
to impress my prince, | |
I dressed down | |
To make my entrances. | |
I danced all night | |
To show my glamour, | |
I sang on the stage | |
To mislead my adorers.” | |
“Then I woke up one day, | |
I found my grey hairs. | |
i saw the wrinkles written all over, | |
I realized my youth had expired. | |
I put on my make-up, | |
I tried to cover my lines with grace. | |
I looked at the mirror again, | |
It showed an empty masked face.” | |
“I knew it was all gone, | |
I knew I had nothing to gain. | |
Except those memorable photos, | |
And my educated brain.” | |
“I packed few things, | |
I started my life-long journey. | |
I believed that in no time, | |
I’d get to my destiny.” | |
She spoke slow yet firm, | |
And I held back my tears. | |
“Where’s your home?” I asked again, | |
“In my heart,” She said, | |
“Through all the years, | |
Never fear.” |
