In Memories of Vibrant Orange
With unpredictable weather,
Orange departs, it always flies,
Regardless of having wings.Looking back at the orange of yesteryears,
It was your countenance,
Your fragrance.
Once upon a time,
You asked the orange,
What does it signify?
I smiled and replied:
1. "Orange oil" - Referring to the vibrant orange car paint,
often describing the luxurious cars or flashy modifications.
2. "Orange top" - Referring to the outstanding or eye-catching hair.
3. "Orange powder" - Referring to the orange-colored powdered cosmetics,
often used to describe orange blush or eyeshadow for women.
4. "Orange bridge" - Referring to Tsuen Wan Bridge in Hong Kong,
named after its orange paint.
5. "Orange army" - Referring to the Hong Kong Police Force,
named after the orange stripes on their uniforms.
6. "Orange ferry" - Referring to the Hong Kong Orange Ferry,
named after its orange-colored hull.
But the orange that I loved most,
Cannot be answered in words,
Only portrayed on paper,
Accompanying me on my solitary journey.Through painting and poetry.
