We got on our boat
before the break of dawn
as the orange sunrise welcomed us
across -the sun kissed pagodas
shone in its glory and glistened
we soon crossed the irrawaddy bridge
our next stop was at the pottery village of yandabo
the place where the first Anglo-Burmese treaty was signed
the village had some cool children
who lived life in their own terms felt like
we went back on our boat
supported by this thin plank…
the better part of the afternoon
went on watching the other boats
and the coals they were transporting
the final hour on the cruise was breathtaking
as little white clouds exploded in the crisp blue sky.
