Shanghai Diary


the night before Christmas...

Tonite we went to the old part
of Shanghai thats full of temples
and parks and restaurants where
the women take pride in long
silky hair and full length
silk dresses, to live in the
traditions of the past, when
women were favored for the
softness of their personalities
and the desirability of their
radiant beauty, wherein's the men
couldn't keep their eyes off of,
nor their thoughts away from
the grace and the sensuality
that these lovely creatures
are gifted to share...

Within my heart I soak
up this magic, and within
my thoughts; "Such a lovely
way to spend the night
before Christmas."

Where the eyes see radiant beauty, there resides also spirituality ... so this radiance fits well also into the night before Christmas.

Lovely, James.

Love,
Margherita
