the lanterns spring up
all around the world
little specks of light
filling up with glee
the colours are vivid
from crimson to mauve
as they skipped around with joy
what a beautiful globe

The photo reminds me of the 2016 movie “The Great Wall” a fantasy epic starring Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal. That film had lanterns fill the sky as these. It was a wonderful sight as this photo and your poem Chris.

Hi Jude, just to say that I think what I have written back to you in your WordPress has gone to spam (again). I’ve put it in Sadje reblog a little earlier as well, for your new one.
