A thought held still in shadowed breath,
The trace of time disguised as death.
No walls, no clock, just veils of mind,
Where presence stirs, undefined.

No walls, no clock, just veils of mind,
Where presence stirs, undefined.

Indeed, Hanoi it is—where lakes mirror the past,
And tangled streets hum with scooters rushing fast.
From the Temple of Literature to train street’s charm,
It’s a city of contrasts with an ageless, disarming calm.
And tangled streets hum with scooters rushing fast.

Where ancient and present play the same game.
In the shadow of pyramids, time softly bends,

Where dragon boats glide under neon light.
From ruins of St. Paul to Senado Square's glow,

You read the stone well—Petra it was,
A city half-built, half-carved, to grand applause.
Once a hub where incense traders passed,
Now it stands, rose-red, in stillness cast.

What about memories in endless motions?
Feeling the warmth of the golden sand,
As waves embrace this tranquil land.
